Using the freezer to its full potential
Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has
already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked
and eaten (within 24 hours).
Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into
contact with food that has already been defrosted.
Fresh food must be stored above the grill in the
freezer compartment and if possible be in direct
contact with the walls (side and rear), where the
temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid
freezing.
Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and
which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer
because they could break.
The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen
daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical
properties located on the bottom left side of the
refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4)
Start-up and use
Starting the appliance
! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation
instructions (see Installation).
! Before connecting the appliance, clean the
compartments and accessories well with lukewarm water
and bicarbonate.
1. Insert the plug into the socket and ensure that the
internal light illuminates.
2. Turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to an
average value. After a few hours you will be able to put
food in the refrigerator.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
The temperature inside the refrigerator compartment
automatically adjusts itself according to the position of
the thermostat knob.
1 = warmest 5 = coldest
We recommend, however, a medium position.
The cooling section of the refrigerator is located
inside the back wall of the refrigerator compartment
for increased space and improved aesthetics. During
operation, the back wall will be covered in frost or
water droplets depending on whether the compressor
is operating or paused. Do not worry, the refrigerator is
functioning normally.
If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been
set on high values with large quantities of food and with
a high ambient temperature, the appliance can operate
continuously, resulting in excessive frost formation and
excessive energy consumption: compensate for this by
shifting the knob towards lower values (defrosting will
occur automatically).
In static appliances, the air circulates in a natural way:
the colder air tends to move downwards as it is heavier.
The food should be stored as follows:
Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the
compartment, not hot foods (see Precautions and
tips).
Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than
raw foods.
Do not store liquids in open containers. They will
increase humidity in the refrigerator and cause
condensation to form.
SHELVES: with or without grill.
Due to the special guides the
shelves are removable and
the height is adjustable (see
diagram), allowing easy storage
of large containers and food.
Height can be adjusted without
complete removal of the shelf.
In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the
freezer compartment, you may remove the bins
(except the lowest bin and the special COOL CARE
ZONE bin, which has an adjustable temperature) and
place the food directly onto the evaporator plates.
