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 brand­new product, then dry thoroughly.

Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.

DAILY USE

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).

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.

8 Daily use

Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking
will take longer.

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

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.

Vegetable Drawer

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
