3 Using the Refrigerator ENGLISH 6 HOW TO OPERATE THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL The temperature dial can be set to better preserve food to the extent you use the product. The inside temperature is set by turning the control dial to the position desired. Temperature Minimum Medium Maximum Defrost Key Conditions of use Cold days Not much food stored Occasional opening of door Intermediate condition Hot days A lot of food stored Frequent opening of door Avoid setting the temperature of your refrigerator to Minimum in hot days, with a lot of food stored and when the doors are frequently opened. That will cause insufficient cooling, food may lose quality and there may be internal sweat. For cold days, with few food stored and not much opening of the doors, avoid setting the temperature to Maximum. That may cause excessive cooling of the food and waste of electric power. Set the temperature control according to the real need. In winter or when not much used, the temperature control position can be decreased. Additional temperature control (340/380 Full): This control has been created to be used in areas of the country where temperatures get excessively low to avoid freezing of the foods stored on shelves. Cold Days setting: Select this option if the temperature control is set to minimum and foods are almost frozen. Normal Condition setting: Generally use this option. Cold Days Normal Condition STORING FOOD AND BEVERAGES Food shall be stored in adequate packages like plastic bags or containers with hermetic lids. This procedure avoids the removal of natural humidity from the food, preserving quality. Do not place hot foods inside the refrigerator. Allow them to cool down to room temperature. That helps saving power consumption, and assures the good operation of the product. Try to leave the doors open only as long as it takes to place and remove food and beverages. You will, thus, reduce power consumption and improve the performance of your refrigerator.
Important: It is recommended to operate the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before storing food or beverages in it. That time is necessary for temperature to stabilize inside the product. Once defrosted, foods should not be refrozen as they might lose their natural characteristics. Liquids increase in volume when frozen. Take care when storing bottles or other closed containers in the freezer and extra cold compartment for a long time. Those containers may brake. Do not store toxic products in your refrigerator as they may contaminate foods. 4 Refrigerator Components FREEZER COLD CUTS DRAWER Your refrigerator has a freezer to store frozen food. The temperature inside the freezer is - 6 C. When storing food in the freezer, follow the instructions of food manufacturers. EXTRA COLD COMPARTMENT This compartment operates at a colder temperature in the refrigerator, allowing for the storage of frozen foods, and providing more room in the freezer. Also recommended to faster cool beverages. If necessary to remove it, first remove any content stored in the compartment. After that, fully open the compartment drawer pulling it to the front to the stop. Lift the front part holding it with both hands and carefully pull it frontwards. To better organize foods, your refrigerator is provided with a drawer to store small amounts of daily use foods such as: sausages, cooled pasta, cold cuts, dairy products and meat (not frozen for 1 to 2 days.) Model 340 To remove the cold cuts drawer, pull it to the front to the stop. Lift the front part holding it with both hands and carefully pull it frontwards. MULTIPLE USE SHELF The multiple use shelf also allows the storing of cans (350ml) in the position indicated. Models 340/ 380 Full ENGLISH 7

5 Maintenance and Care DRY DEFROSTING The excess of ice in the freezer impairs the performance of the product. Periodic defrosting is thus necessary. The formation of ice may be bigger or smaller depending on air humidity and on the frequency the door of your refrigerator is opened. Defrost the freezer before the ice thickness surpasses the height of the ice indicator pin located at the upper part of the freezer, as shown in the picture. If the ice thickness surpasses the height of the pin, the defrosting time increases and it may not defrost completely. In that case, it is recommended to do the Manual Defrosting (pg. 11). Ice Thickness { Ice Indicator Pin Dry Defrosting Manual Defrosting That water will be slowly and naturally evaporated; it is not necessary to remove the defrosting tray. When the dry defrosting operation is finished, your refrigerator will automatically turn on, and the dial will return to the original position. Only then, reload the freezer. For your convenience, defrost your product at night as it will not be used. After defrosting, it is normal that some drops of water freeze in the freezer compartment and in the extra refrigeration compartment. That will not impair the performance of the product. Important: In case the refrigerator is dirty with food or liquids, carry out the Manual Defrosting (pg. 11) to avoid the formation of unpleasant smell. Always keep frozen foods well packed. ENGLISH 10 Before starting to defrost, transfer all foods from the freezer, from the extra cold compartment and from the cold cuts drawer to the refrigerator shelves. Press the Defrost key located at the temperature dial, as shown in the picture. Keep the refrigerator door closed. The water resulting from the defrosting operation will flow through the extra cold compartment to the defrosting tray located behind the refrigerator. Defrosting tray: It is normal for water to accumulate in this container. The water coming from the dry defrosting operation will be slowly and naturally evaporated. If necessary to move your refrigerator, move it carefully so that the water on the tray does not overflow. This part shall only be removed for occasional cleaning. Pg. 12
MANUAL DEFROSTING When the ice covers the ice indicator pin or when there are food traces in the freezer, do as follows: Transfer the foods from the freezer, from the extra cold compartment and from the cold cuts drawer to the refrigerator shelves. Turn the temperature dial to Off. Remove the extra cold compartment, and notice that there is a plug in one of the holes of the part. Place that plug into the hole beside it and replace the extra cold compartment into the refrigerator. The defrost water will flow through a drain located in the extra cold compartment to the cold cuts drawer. When defrosting is complete, replace the drain plug to the original position in the extra cold compartment. Get rid of the water in the cold cuts drawer. Dry the freezer and extra cold compartment with a cloth. Important: When manual defrosting is finished, replace the drain plug to the original position, enabling the product for the Dry Defrosting operation. Never use sharp, cutting objects to remove the ice as that may damage the product. Do not start the defrosting key inadvertently as it will only return to its original position once the defrosting operation is over. CLEANING Explosion Hazard Use nonflammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire. Replace the cold cuts drawer and turn the product on. It is necessary to set the temperature dial to the setting desired when defrosting is finished. Electrical Shock Hazard Disconnect power before servicing. Replace all components before turning on the product. Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock. ENGLISH 11
Keeping your refrigerator clean avoids food contamination by odors. Note: This tray shall be removed for cleaning purposes only. Before cleaning the product, unplug it. Perishable foods have to be conditioned inside thermal containers. Always keep the defrost water collector, behind the cold cuts drawer, clean and free from residue to avoid water overflow. Use a soft cloth or sponge soaked in water with mild detergent/soap. Rinse well and dry with a clean, dry cloth. To remove the vegetables, cold cuts and extra cold drawer refer to the procedures on pg. 7. To clean the outside back part of the product, use a vacuum cleaner of duster only. Removal of the ice tray: Remove the tray lifting it vertically until it releases from the clamps. After that pull it, shown in the picture. To assure the flow of the defrosting water, always keep the valve located at the rear of the product clean. Remove the defrosting tray and the valve for cleaning. 1st movement Cleaning of ice tray: 2nd movement We recommend ice trays to be cleaned every 3 months or whenever necessary. Important: To clean the defrost tray, make sure the Dry Defrosting function is not being used. To do that: Remove the ice tray. Brush the tray under running water to eliminate solid residue build up. After that, put the tray in a washtub or bucket full of water (cover it) and add 50 ml of sanitary water for each 10 liters of water. Keep it away from kids and pets. Keep the tray soaked for one hour. Handle the water carefully avoiding contact with the solution, e.g. wear gloves. ENGLISH 12 Note: When replacing the tray, make sure it fits well. After cleaning, connect the plug to the wall outlet.
Allow the refrigerator to operate for two hours with the door closed and the temperature dial set to Maximum. LIGHT BULB After two hours, set the temperature control to the setting desired, as in item Temperature Control (pg. 4).
