DAILY USE
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time,
wash the interior and all internal
accessories with lukewarm water and some
neutral soap so as to remove the typical
smell of a brand-new product, then dry
thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or
abrasive powders, as these will
damage the finish.
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
38
To freeze fresh food activate the
FastFreezefunction at least 24 hours before
placing the food to be frozen in the freezer
compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating
plate, a label located on the inside of the
appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during
this period do not add other food to be
frozen.
When the freezing process is completed,
return to the required temperature (see
"FastFreeze Function").
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least
2 hours on the higher settings.
WARNING! In the event of
accidental defrosting, for
example due to a power failure,
if the power has been off for
longer than the value shown in
the technical characteristics
chart under "rising time", the
defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked
immediately and then re-frozen
(after cooling).
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of supports so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.
For better use of space, the front half-
shelves (A) can be placed under the rear
ones. (B)

Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed at room temperature.
Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen, directly from the freezer: in this
case, cooking will take longer.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or
more trays for the production of ice-cubes.
Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the trays from the
freezer.
1. Fill these trays with water
2. Put the ice trays in the freezer
compartment.
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.
1. Gradually pull the shelf in the direction
of the arrows until it comes free.
2. Reposition as required.

HINTS AND TIPS
Normal operating sounds
The following sounds are normal during
operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from
coils sound when refrigerant is pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from the
compressor when refrigerant is pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside
appliance caused by thermic dilatation (a
natural and not dangerous physical
phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the temperature
regulator when the compressor switches
on or off.
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave
it open longer than absolutely necessary.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating
liquids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if
it has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate
freely around it
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
• Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags
and place on the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer.
• For safety, store in this way only one or
two days at the most.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these
should be covered and may be placed
on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer(s) provided.
• Butter and cheese: these should be
placed in special airtight containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene
bags to exclude as much air as possible.
• Bottles: these need a cap and should be
stored on the door bottle shelf, or (if
equipped) on the bottle rack.
• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if
not packed, must not be kept in the
refrigerator.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which can
be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the
rating plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours no
further food to be frozen should be
added during this period;
• freeze only top quality, fresh and
thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
40
• prepare food in small portions to enable
it to be rapidly and completely frozen
and to make it possible subsequently to
thaw only the quantity required;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or
polythene and make sure that the
packages are airtight;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to
touch food which is already frozen, thus
avoiding a rise in temperature of the
latter;
• lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life
of food;
• water ices, if consumed immediately
after removal from the freezer
compartment, can possibly cause the
skin to be freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezing in
date on each individual pack to enable
you to keep tab of the storage time.
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this
appliance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially frozen
foodstuffs were adequately stored by the
retailer;
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are
transferred from the foodstore to the
freezer in the shortest possible time;
• not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary;
• once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly
and cannot be refrozen;
• do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the food manufacturer.
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING! Refer to Safety
chapters.
General warnings
CAUTION! Unplug the
appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains
hydrocarbons in its cooling unit;
maintenance and recharging
must therefore only be carried
out by authorized technicians.
The accessories and parts of
the appliance are not suitable for
washing in a dishwasher.
Periodic cleaning
CAUTION! Do not pull, move or
damage any pipes and/or
cables inside the cabinet.
CAUTION! Take care of not to
damage the cooling system.
CAUTION! When moving the
cabinet, lift it by the front edge
to avoid scratching the floor.
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and
wipe clean to ensure they are clean and
free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser and
the compressor at the back of the
appliance with a brush.
This operation will improve the
performance of the appliance and save
electricity consumption.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
every time the motor compressor stops,
during normal use. The defrost water drains
41
out through a trough into a special
container at the back of the appliance, over
the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the
defrost water drain hole in the middle of the
refrigerator compartment channel to
prevent the water overflowing and dripping
onto the food inside.
Defrosting the freezer
CAUTION! Never use sharp
metal tools to scrape off frost
from the evaporator as you
could damage it.
A temperature rise of the frozen
food packs, during defrosting,
may shorten their safe storage
life.
Do not use a mechanical device
or any artificial means to speed
up the thawing process other
than those recommended by
the manufacturer.
A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelves and around the top
compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
1. Pull out the plug from the wall socket or
switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it in
a cool place
CAUTION! Do not touch
frozen goods with wet
hands. Hands can freeze to
the goods.
3. Open the door.
In order to speed up the defrosting
process, place a pot of warm water in
the freezer compartment. In addition,
remove pieces of ice that break away
before defrosting is complete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the
interior thoroughly.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain
the maximum coldness and run the
appliance for two or three hours using
this setting.
7. Reload the previously removed food
into the compartment.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1. Disconnect the appliance from
electricity supply.
2. Remove all food.
3. Defrost (if necessary) and clean the
appliance and all accessories.
4. Leave the door/doors open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
WARNING! If the cabinet will be
kept on, ask somebody to
check it once in a while to
prevent the food inside from
spoiling in case of a power
failure.
