First use
FIRST USE
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 brandnew product, then dry thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
DAILY USE
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 food activate the FROSTMATIC function at least 24 hours before placing the
food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the two top compartments.
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating
plate , a label located on the inside of the appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.
To utilize the maximum quantity indicated on the rating plate, remove all the drawers from
the freezer compartment.
To guarantee the best functionality and performance of the appliance, the food must be not placed
in contact with the back wall of the freezer in the
area as shown in the figure.
7
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 refrozen (after cooling).
Helpful Hints and Tips
8
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.
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
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.
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;
• not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.

3. Leave the door open and insert the plastic
scraper in the appropriate seating at the
bottom centre, placing a basin underneath to collect the defrost water
In order to speed up the defrosting process,
place a pot of warm water in the freezer compartment. In addition, remove pieces of ice
that break away before defrosting is complete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the in-
terior thoroughly and keep the scraper for
future use.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. After two or three hours, reload the pre-
viously removed food into the compartment.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage
it.
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process
other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe
storage life.
