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.
14 - USE 91477B908/C
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 35 oz / 1 kg; meat and fish
in portions of no more than 70 oz / 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 suitable freezer bags/
containers.
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
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.

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.

14 ½” (36,8 cm) minimum on the
hinge side to allow for the door
to swing open.
Spacers
To ensure proper cooling of the condenser,
the appliance must not be placed too close
to the wall. To avoid this, the product is
equipped with two plastic spacers, which
must be positioned on the back 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.
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.
