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 brand-new 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. The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating

plate The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.

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. If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and baskets from appliance and place food on cooling shelves to obtain the best performance.

WARNING!

Make sure that foods do not exceed the load limit stated on the side of the upper section (where applicable)

In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer that 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.

5) Refer to "Technical data"

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired. For better use of space, the front half-shelves can lie over the rear ones.

Positioning the door shelves

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

Positioning the sliding box

The sliding box can be placed at different heights. To make these adjustments proceed as follow:

1. lift the shelf with the sliding box 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 sliding box at a different height.

Daily use

Carbon Air Filter

Your appliance is equipped with a carbon filter CLEANAIR CONTROL behind a flap in the rear wall of the fridge compartment. The filter purifies the air from unwanted odours in the fridge and LONGFRESH compartment meaning that the storage quality will be further improved.

CLEANAIR CONTROL

Daily use

During the operation, always keep the air ventilation flap closed.

LONGFRESH Compartment

In the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment the temperature is controlled automatically. It stays constantly at about 0°C, no adjustment is necessary. The constant storage temperature of about 0°C and the relative humidity of between 45 and 90 % provide optimal conditions for the various kinds of food.

You can therefore store a variety of fresh food in the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment, where it will last up to 3 times longer with better quality compared to normal refrigerator compartments. This allows you to stock more fresh food. Taste, degree of freshness, quality and nutritional values (vitamins and minerals) are well preserved. Loss of weight in vegetables and fruit diminishes. Food yields a higher degree of nutritional value.

The LONGFRESH 0°C compartment is also suitable for defrosting food. In this case the thawed food can be stored up to two days .

Humidity control

Both drawers can be used according to the desired storage conditions independently of each other with lower or higher humidity. Regulation for each drawer is separate and is controlled using the slide valve at the front of the drawer.

• „Dry“: low air humidity - up to 50 % relative

humidity This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set into this position

ventilation openings are wide open.

• Humid“: high relative humidity - up to 90%

This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set in this position ventilation openings are closed. Humidity is kept and can not escape.

and the

Longfresh drawers

The humidity is not adjustable.

The wire shelves inside the drawers permit that air can circulate freely and consequently a better conservation of foods. The compartment has stops to prevent the drawers from falling out when fully extended. To remove the drawers (e.g. for cleaning purposes), pull them out as far as the stops, lift and remove.

You can remove all drawers to store large quantities of foods.

Cakes containing cream and other kinds of pastry products can be stored in the longfresh 0°C compartment for 2 or 3 days.

Not to be placed in the longfresh 0°C compartment:

• cold sensitive fruit which have to be stored at cellar or room temperature like pineap-

ple, bananas, grapefruit, melons, mango, papaya, oranges, lemons, kiwi fruit.

• The types of food not mentioned above should be stored in the refrigerator compart-

ment (e.g. all sorts of cheese, cold cuts, etc.)

The level of air humidity in the drawers depends on the content of humidity in the stored food, vegetable and fruit and on the frequency of door opening

Helpful hints and tips

The longfresh 0°C compartment is also suitable for slow thawing of food. In this case the thawed food can be stored in the longfresh 0°C compartment for up to two days.

Tips:

• Pay attention to the freshness of the food, especially on the expiry date. Quality and

freshness influence the storage time.

• The whole storage cycle time will depend on the preservation conditions made prior to

the final storage in the fridge.

• Food, fruit or vegetables should always be packed or wrapped up before storage.

• Animal food always store packed and dry.

• Food rich in proteins will go bad quicker. This means seafood will spoil before fish

which in turn will spoil before meat. While storing food in a 0°C compartment storage time for that kind of food can be increased by up to three times as well without loss on quality.

• All food stored in a 0°C compartment should be taken out of the drawers roughly

15-30 min before consumption, particularly fruit and vegetables to be consumed without any additional cooking process. Allowing fruit and vegetables to return to room temperature will improve the texture and flavour.

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 tem-

perature 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.

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.

Care and cleaning

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 dur-

ing 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 re-

tailer;

• 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.

CARE AND CLEANING

CAUTION!

Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.

Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

debris.

• rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.

Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption. The lowest shelf, dividing the cooler compartment from the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment can be removed only for cleaning. To remove pull out the shelf straight. The cover plates above the drawers in the compartment can be taken out for cleaning.

To make sure fully functionality of the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment the lowest shelf and cover plates must be put back in their original position after cleaning.

Take care of not to damage the cooling system.

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer casing of this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little washing-up liquid added. After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply.

Replacing the carbon filter

The carbon filter helps to reduce the odours inside the fridge limiting the risk of unwanted aroma in sensitive food To get the best performance the carbon filter should be changed once every year. New active air filters can be purchased from your local dealer.

Care and cleaning

• The air filter is placed behind the flap and

can be reached by pulling the flap outward (1)

• pull out of the slot the exhausted air filter.

• insert the new air filter in the slot (2)

•close the flap. The air filter is a consumable accessory and as such is not covered by the guarantee.

During the operation, always keep the air ventilation flap closed. The air filter should be handled carefully to prevent its surface from being scratched.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Defrosting of the fridge compartment is automatic. The water that forms flows into a recipient on the compressor and evaporates. This recipient cannot be removed.

Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer shelves and around the top compartment. Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set the Temperature regulator toward higher settings , in order to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in operation.

To remove the frost, follow the instructions below:

1. Switch off the appliance.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool

place.

CAUTION!

Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.

3. Leave the door open . 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.

What to do if…

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly.

5. Switch on the appliance.

6. After two or three hours, reload the previously 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.

Pour votre sécurité et garantir une utilisation correcte de l'appareil, lisez attentivement cette notice, y compris les conseils et avertissements, avant d'installer et d'utiliser l'appareil pour la première fois. Pour éviter toute erreur ou accident, veillez à ce que toute personne qui utilise l'appareil connaisse bien son fonctionnement et ses fonctions de sécurité. Conservez cette notice avec l'appareil. Si l'appareil doit être vendu ou cédé à une autre personne, veillez à remettre cette notice au nouveau propriétaire, afin qu'il puisse se familiariser avec son fonctionnement et sa sécurité. Pour la sécurité des personnes et des biens, conservez et respectez les consignes de sécurité figurant dans cette notice. Le fabricant décline toute responsabilité en cas de dommages dus au non-respect de ces instructions.

Sécurité des enfants et des personnes vulnérables

• Cet appareil n'est pas destiné à être utilisé par des enfants ou des personnes dont les capacités physiques, sensorielles ou mentales, ou le manque d'expérience et de connaissance les empêchent d'utiliser l'appareil sans risque lorsqu'ils sont sans surveillance ou en l'absence d'instruction d'une personne responsable qui puisse leur assurer une utilisation de l'appareil sans danger.

Empêchez les enfants de jouer avec l'appareil.

• Ne laissez pas les différents emballages à portée des enfants. Ils pourraient s'asphyxier.

• Si l'appareil doit être mis au rebut, veillez à couper le câble d'alimentation électrique au ras de l'appareil pour éviter les risques d'électrocution. Démontez la porte pour éviter que des enfants ne restent enfermés à l'intérieur.

• Cet appareil est muni de fermetures magnétiques. S'il remplace un appareil équipé d'une fermeture à ressort, nous vous conseillons de rendre celle-ci inutilisable avant de vous en débarrasser. Ceci afin d'éviter aux enfants de s'enfermer dans l'appareil et de mettre ainsi leur vie en danger.

Mesures générales de sécurité

ATTENTION

Veillez à ce que les orifices de ventilation ne soient pas obstrués.

• Cet appareil est destiné uniquement à la conservation d’aliments et/ou de boissons dans le cadre d’un usage domestique normal, tel que celui décrit dans la présente notice.

• N'utilisez pas d'appareils électriques, d'agents chimiques ou tout autre système artificiel pour accélérer le processus de dégivrage.

• N’utilisez pas d'autres appareils électriques (par exemple, sorbetières) à l'intérieur d’appareils réfrigérants sauf s’ils sont homologués pour cet usage par leur fabricant.

• Faites très attention lorsque vous déplacez l'appareil afin de ne pas endommager des parties du circuit de refroidissement et ainsi d'éviter des risques de fuite.

• Le circuit de refroidissement de l’appareil contient de l’isobutane (R600a), un gaz naturel offrant un haut niveau de compatibilité avec l’environnement mais qui est néanmoins inflammable.

Consignes de sécurité

Pendant le transport et l'installation de l’appareil, assurez-vous qu'aucune pièce du circuit de refroidissement n'est endommagée.

Si tel est le cas : – Évitez les flammes vives (briquet) et tout autre allumage (étincelles). – Aérez soigneusement la pièce où se trouve l'appareil.

• Ne modifiez pas les spécifications de l'appareil. Un cordon d'alimentation endommagé peut être la cause de courts-circuits, d'incendies et/ou de décharges électriques.
