level or a vessel containing water, if necessary. Avoid installing the appliance in direct
sunlight or near any source of heat.
The distance between the rear of the appliance and a wall shall not be less than 10 cm,
and the minimum ventilating space from the sides of the appliance shall never be less
than 5 cm.
In all cases, the location shall be protected from rain and splashing.
To guarantee a good level of air circulation, do not obstruct the ventilation grids of the
upper, lower or rear surface of the appliance.
Complying with the above will ensure efficient an economical cooling.
Before the first use of the appliance, clean the inside and the cover of the appliance with
warm water, adding detergent if necessary. Never use an abrasive product.
Operation with the mains
Never use another source of energy at the same time (battery, liquefied petroleum gas).
Check that the mains voltage corresponds to the operating voltage specified on the label
(on the rear of the appliance).
If the electrical specifications are correct, push the safety electrical plug into an earthed
wall socket which is wired according to the specifications.
Start-up
Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the MAX position. The effects of the cooling
process (frost on the evaporator) only become visible after about an hour.
The thermostat enables the temperature of the refrigerator to be adjustable
(“0”=cooling process stopped).
After a sufficient cooling period (approximately 5 hours), the thermostat can be set to an
intermediate position. The selected temperature is regulated automatically by the
thermostat.
Shut-down
Turn the thermostat knob anti-clockwise to the “0” position.

explosion.
Defrosting – Measures to be taken if the appliance is to be left unused for a long
period
The refrigerator must be defrosted regularly, in order to ensure that it operates
correctly.
To defrost the refrigerator, disconnect it and remove all food outside. If necessary, use a
cloth soaked with hot water. After de-icing, mop up the water with a dry clean cloth and
clean the inside as described in paragraph 13.
If the appliance is to remain unused for a extensive period, disconnect it and remove all
food outside. After de-icing, clean and dry the inside of the appliance.
In order to prevent unpleasant odor, leave the cover of the refrigerator slightly open.
Measures to be taken after unused for a long period
If, after an extensive lay-up period, the refrigerator does not produce any cooling,
disconnect the appliance; after some time, reconnect it.
Maintenance
Clean the appliance regularly with warm water, containing a detergent if necessary.
Never use an abrasive product. Dry the cleaned surfaces with a soft cloth. Use only clear
water to clean the seal of the cover, and then coat the seal with talcum powder.
All repairs, particularly of the cooling unit or the gas burner system, must mandatorily be
carried out by a qualified technician.
Service
If a problem occurs, carry out the following checks:
− Is the appliance installed in a horizontal position?
− Is there sufficient ventilation?
− For 220V mains operation, check that the mains supply is correct. And is the
thermostat set correctly?
− Has too much food been placed inside the refrigerator all at once? Arrange the food
so that the air is free to circulate inside the refrigerator.
Do not use pieces cardboard or plastic as separations. Keep vessels containing liquids
closed.
