the Temperature regulator is not rotated

within 5 seconds, the latest set temperature

for the freezer compartment will be shown.

To operate the appliance, proceed as fol-

lows:

• turn the Temperature regulator clockwise

to obtain the maximum coldness

• turn the Temperature regulator counter-

clockwise to obtain the minimum cold-

ness.

The intermediate position is usually the most

suitable.

However, the exact setting should be chos-

en keeping in mind that the temperature in-

side the appliance depends on:

• room temperature

• how often the door is opened

• the quantity of food stored

• the location of the appliance.

Shopping Function

If you need to insert a large amount of

warm food, for example after doing the

Important! In the event of accidental

defrosting, for example due to a power

failure, if the power has been off for longer

that 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).

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being

used, can be thawed in the refrigerator

compartment or at room temperature, de-

pending on the time available for this oper-

ation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-

zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,

er failure or breakdown.

ENGLISH 12

Helpful hints and tips

Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or leave

it open longer than absolutely necessary.

• If the ambient temperature is high, the

temperature regulator is on the higher

setting and the appliance is fully loaded,

the compressor may run continuously,

causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If

this happens, turn the temperature regu-

lator toward lower settings to allow auto-

matic defrosting and so a saving in elec-

tricity consumption.

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

• 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

drawer.

• 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.

• Milk bottles: these should have a cap and

should be stored in the bottle rack on the

door.

• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic: if

not packed, must not be kept in the re-

frigerator.

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing

process, here are some hints:

• The maximum quantity of food which can

be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rat-

ing plate.

• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No

further food to be frozen should be add-

ed during this period.

• Freeze only top quality, fresh and thor-

oughly cleaned foodstuffs.

• 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 pack-

ages are airtight.

• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to

touch food which is already frozen, thus

avoiding a rise in temperature of the lat-

ter.

• Lean foods store better and longer than

fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of

food.

• Water ices, if consumed immediately af-

ter removal from the freezer compart-

ment, 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.

• Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are

transferred from the foodstore to the

freezer in the shortest possible time.

• Do not open the door frequently or leave

it open longer than absolutely necessary.

• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapid-

ly and cannot be refrozen.

ENGLISH 13

• Do not exceed the storage period indica-

ted by the food manufacturer.

Care and cleaning

Caution! Before carrying out any

maintenance operation, disconnect the

power supply.

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its

cooling unit; maintenance and recharging

must therefore only be carried out by au-

thorized technicians.

Warning! The accessories and parts of

the appliance are not suitable for

washing in a dishwasher.

Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

• clean the inside and accessories with

lukewarm water and some neutral soap.

• regularly check the door seals and wipe

clean to ensure they are clean and free

from debris.

• rinse and dry thoroughly.

Important! Do not pull, move or damage

any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.

Never use detergents, abrasive powders,

highly perfumed cleaning products or wax

polishes to clean the interior as this will

damage the surface and leave a strong

odour.

Clean the condenser (black grill) 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.

Important! Take care of not to damage the

cooling system.

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners

contain chemicals that can attack/damage

the plastics used in this appliance. For this

reason it is recommended that the outer

casing of this appliance is only cleaned with

warm water with a little washing-up liquid

added.

After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to

the mains supply.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically

eliminated from the

evaporator of the re-

frigerator compart-

ment every time the

motor compressor

stops, during normal

use. The defrost wa-

ter drains out

through a trough into

a special container at the back of the appli-

ance, over the motor compressor, where it

evaporates.

It is important to periodically clean the de-

frost water drain hole in the middle of the

refrigerator compartment channel to pre-

vent the water overflowing and dripping

onto the food inside. Use the special clean-

er provided, which you will find already in-

serted into the drain hole.

No defrosting of the freezer

The freezer compartment of this model, on

the other hand, is a "no frost" type. This

means that there is no buildup of frost when

it is in operation, neither on the internal

walls nor on the foods.

The absence of frost is due to the continuous

circulation of cold air inside the compart-

ment, driven by an automatically controlled

fan.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long

periods, take the following precautions:

1. Disconnect the appliance from electrici-

ty supply.

2. Remove all food.

3. Defrost, if foreseen

4. Clean the appliance and all accesso-

ries.

5. Leave all doors ajar to prevent un-

pleasant smells.

ENGLISH 14

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.

What to do if…

Caution! Before troubleshooting,

disconnect the power supply.

Only a qualified electrician or competent

person must do the troubleshooting that is

not in this manual.
