constant humidity for optimum storage.
Freezer drawers
For storing frozen foods and foods to be
frozen. To remove them, pull them towards
you and lift the front part of each drawer.
Ice packs
The use of ice packs guarantees reduced
freezing times and improved freezer
autonomy in case of power failure. The ice
packs are removable and can be used
safely in the picnic fridge or in the cooler
bag.
Ventilation
The forced recirculation air in the appliance
is free of humidity and quickly dries the food
inside.
The inner ventilation system cools food
more rapidly and keeps refrigeration
homogeneous inside the appliance.
Using the refrigerator
compartment
Arranging food
Arrange food on the various shelves,
making sure that they are wrapped and
covered hermetically. This precaution
ensures that:
• the flavour, moisture and freshness of
the foods is preserved;
• any contamination of foods with odours
or tastes from other foods can be
avoided;
• the humidity level inside the refrigerator
is prevented from becoming too high as
a result of the normal transpiration of
food (especially fresh fruit and
vegetables). In some operating
conditions (rise in ambient temperature
and humidity, more frequent opening of
the door) this might cause condensation
to form on the shelves.
Storage life table
Using the freezer compartment
To keep and freeze foods properly:
• pack fruit and vegetables in portions of
no more than 1 kg; meat and fish in
portions of up to 2 kg.
• small packages freeze quickly which
means that the foods' nutritional
properties are preserved better,
including after defrosting/preparation.
• package foods in hermetically sealed
packages, expelling air as much as
possible.
• Do not use paper bags or shopping
bags, use the suitable freezer bags/
containers.
Storing vegetables with high
content of water can generate
condensation on the glass shelf.
This is a natural phenomenon which
does not affect the appliance’s
operation in any way.
Before introducing food into the
appliance, seal it thoroughly.
Always allow hot foods and drinks
to cool to room temperature before
putting them in the appliance.
Foodstuff Time
Eggs, smoked meats, mari-
nated foods, cheese
max 10 days
Root vegetables max 8 days
Butter max 7 days
Pastries, fruit, ready meals,
fresh meat
max 2 days
Fish, minced meat, seafood max 1 day
Always allow hot foods and drinks
to cool to room temperature before
putting them in the appliance.
32 - USE 91477B419/D
Frozen foods storage life table
Defrosted foods
Food must be consumed as soon as
possible once defrosted. Freezing foods
preserves them, but it does not destroy any
micro-organisms, which are activated after
thawing, damaging the foods.
Partial defrosting lowers the nutritional
value of the foodstuffs, particularly of fruit,
vegetables and ready meals.
Noises during operation
The refrigerator and freezer compartments
are cooled by means of a compression
system. In order to maintain the preset
temperature inside the refrigerator and
freezer compartments, the compressor
comes into operation in response to the
level of cooling required, and may operate
continuously if necessary. When the
compressor starts up a humming sound will
be heard, tending to drop in volume after a
few minutes.
Another normal operating noise of the
appliance is a gurgling due to the coolant
flowing through the pipes in the circuit. This
noise is normal and does not indicate an
appliance malfunction. If it becomes too
loud, this may mean that there are other
causes. Checks must then be made to
ensure that:
• The refrigerator is properly levelled on
the floor and does not vibrate when the
compressor is in operation: if this is not
the case, adjust the appliance's feet until
it is level;
• The drawers, shelves and trays on the
door are correctly positioned in their
holders: if they are not, put them in
correctly;
• Bottles and containers on the various
shelves are stable and not touching
each other: otherwise, the vibration
resulting from compressor operation
could generate noise;
• Do not place the fridge in such a way
that it is in contact with furniture or other
household appliances.
Heated front surface
There is a front surface heating system
inside the cabinet to limit the formation of
condensation around the door seal.
Turning the appliance off
Whenever the appliance is to remain
unused for long periods, it should be
switched off.
1. Keep the ON/OFF button on the
control panel pressed for 3 seconds. The
symbols are displayed on the
refrigerator and freezer temperature
displays.
2. Unplug the appliance from the wall
socket.
3. Empty the compartments.
4. Once the freezer has fully defrosted, dry
any residual accumulated moisture with
a tea towel.
Storage advice
General advice
• Always check the expiry date on the
food packaging.

Defrosting
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator/freezer compartment does
not require defrosting, as any ice which
forms on the refrigeration plate will melt
when the compressor is switched off. The
defrosting process is automatic.
Defrost water is channelled directly into the
dedicated pan on the back of the appliance,
which lets it evaporate by means of the
heat generated by the compressor.

• Make sure that the plug and socket are
of the same type.
• Avoid using adapters, gang sockets or
shunts as these could cause
overheating and a risk of burns.
• The plug must always be accessible
when the appliance is installed.
• Leave the appliance standing vertically
for at least two hours before turning it
on for the first time.
• If it is necessary to replace the power

• If installed underneath wall units, at
least 5 cm clearance must be left.
• Ensure that the appliance is located
with sufficient space for the door to
open and for the internal drawers and
shelves to be removed, if necessary.
Spacers (For models with exposed
condenser only)
To ensure proper cooling of the condenser,
the appliance must not be placed too close
to the wall. To prevent this, the appliance
comes complete with two plastic spacers,
which must be fitted in the rear part of the
appliance.
Positioning
Position the appliance on a firm, level
surface.
The appliance has two small wheels on the
back to allow it to be moved and positioned
more easily.
In any case, we recommend moving the
appliance very carefully in order to avoid
damaging the floor (especially in the case of
wooden floors).
If the floor is not perfectly level, use the two
adjustable feet on the front part of the
appliance.
Level the appliance horizontally adjusting
its feet.
Class Room temperature
SN (Subnormal) + 10°C to + 32°C
N (Normal) + 16°C to + 32°C
ST (Subtropical) + 18°C to + 38°C
T (Tropical) + 18°C to + 43°C
Lean the appliance slightly towards
the rear part to facilitate proper door
closure.
In order for the freezer to be
installed correctly, the door must be
able to close properly. Ensure that
the door seals close hermetically,
especially at the corners.

A few days after installation, check that the
initial level adjustment is still correct. Make
sure that the appliance is still stable and the
door seals still close hermetically when it is
in operation and loaded with food. If
necessary, re-adjust the level and the seals.
