are recyclable.

First use

Temperature regulation

The temperature is automatically regulated.
To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:

• turn the Temperature regulator toward lower settings to obtain the minimum coldness.

• turn the Temperature regulator toward higher settings to obtain the maximum coldness.

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature in­side the appliance depends on:

• room temperature

• how often the door is opened

• the quantity of food stored

• the location of the appliance.

If the ambient temperature is high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is
set to the lowest temperatures, it may run continuously causing frost to form on the
rear wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher temperature to allow automatic
defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption.

FIRST USE

7

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.

Daily use

DAILY USE

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be posi­tioned as desired.

Bottle rack

Place the bottles (with the opening facing front)
in the pre-positioned shelf.

If the shelf is positioned horizontally, place only
closed bottles.

This bottle holder shelf can be tilted in order to
store previously opened bottles. To obtain this re­sult, pull the shelf up so it can rotate upwards
and be placed on the next higher level.

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at
different heights.

Positioning the door half shelf

The door half shelf can be placed at different heights.
To make these adjustments proceed as follow:

1. lift the shelf with the door half shelf up-

wards and out of the holders in the door

2. remove the retaining bracket out of the

guide under the shelf

3. Reverse the above operation to insert

the half shelf at a different height.

Vegetable drawer with humidity control

The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.
There is a separator inside the drawer that can
be placed in different positions to allow for the
subdivision best suited to personal needs.
There is a grille (if foreseen) on the bottom of
the drawer to separate the fruit and vegetables
from any humidity that may form on the bot­tom surface.
All parts inside the drawer can be removed for
cleaning purposes

To regulate the humidity in the vegetable drawer
the glass shelf incorporates a device with slits (ad­justable by means of a sliding lever).
When the ventilation slots are closed:
the natural moisture content of the food in the
fruit and vegetable compartments is preserved
for longer.
When the ventilation slots are opened:
more air circulation results in a lower air mois­ture content in the fruit and vegetable compart­ments.

Daily use

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill
these trays with water, then put them in the freezer compartment.

Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.

Helpful hints and tips

10

Frozen Food Calendar

The symbols show different types of frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods.
Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the
quality of the foods and treating before freezing.

Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep­frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change the medium setting.
Move the shelf present in the freezer compartment to the upper seat, keeping it horizontal.
Place the fresh food to be frozen on that shelf.
However, for a faster freezing operation, turn the temperature regulator toward higher
settings to obtain the maximum coldness.

In this condition, the refrigerator compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. If
this occurs reset the temperature regulator to a warmer setting.

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.

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).

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator com­partment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cook­ing will take longer.

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 and the Temperature Regulator is set to low tem­perature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, caus­ing frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, set the Temperature Regulator to­ward warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity con­sumption.

Helpful hints and tips

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.
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 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 hrs. is shown on the rating
plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added dur­ing this period;

• only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly 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 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.

11

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;

What to do if…
