COMBINED AND COMBINED FROST FREE
CONTROLS
FREEZING
The thermostat which controls the temperature of the appliance
is located inside the fridge compartment on the top right. This
thermostat controls the temperature for both the fridge & freezer
compartments. To turn the appliance off, set the thermostat dial
to “0“.
When adding foods to the freezer the temperature of the appliance may be higher than that of the thermostat dial. In the event of this occurring
reduce the thermostat dial by 1 or 2 numbers to stop the fridge from becoming excessively cold. Once the freezing process is completed, return the
thermostat dial to the usual value (between 2 - 3).
N.B. For better air circulation, leave some room in between the foods and avoid blocking the cooling air outlets.
DEFROSTING
The freezer compartment on this appliance defrosts automatically.
A small amount of frost or drops of water on the back of the fridge compartment when the fridge
is working is normal.
Make sure the water outlet is always clean. Also make sure foods do NOT touch the back or
sides of the fridge compartment.
A fridge freezer with FROST FREE technology does not require the freezer section to be
defrosted because this product is equipped with an automatic system which prevents ice from
forming. For the fridge freezers without FROST FREE technology, we recommend you defrost
the freezer area when the layer of frost is more than 3 mm thick.
NB. This is the rating plate. If you need to contact our Service Department in the event of
any faults, remember to give them the information on the plate.
IMPORTANT: If the temperature of the room is warm, the appliance may work continuously and a layer of frost will deposit on the back of
the fridge compartment. In this case, turn the dial to lower settings.
DRAINING WATER
In Fridge Freezers without FROST FREE technology, the freezer has a system for draining water while defrosting.
This system comprises:
A drip tray which must be pulled out so water can fl ow into a basin.
A drainage basin (not supplied).
In Fridge Freezers with FROST FREE technology, the system for draining water while defrosting is automatic.

door, remove the middle hinge, the top door and the top hinge. Remove the plastic insert located on the left from the control panel. Remount
the hinge on the left-hand side rotating it by 180° and reversing the position of the pin.

pin of the top right-hand side hinge and remount it on the left hand-side hinge.
5) Where a door stop is used, remove the right-hand side one by loosening the screw. Take the left-hand side door stop from the accessories kit
and secure it with the screw you had previously removed.
6) Remount the doors in reverse order, remembering to remount the spacing washers placed between the door and the hinge.
7) If the vertical handles are present, move them from the left to the right side, by loosening the corresponding screws.
