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.
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at
different heights.
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.
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
13
Air cooling
The Dynamic Air Cooling (DAC) fan let food cool quickly and a more uniform temperature in the compartment.
You can switch on the fan by pressing the
switch shown in the picture. The green light

B
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 ratingplate , a label located on the inside of the appliance.
Daily use
14
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).
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.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice- cubes.
These are insert on the sides of the upper freezer drawer.
Pull out the upper freezer drawer.
Extract the ice-tray.
Helpful hints and tips
Pull out the tap. Fill with water to the limit indicated "MAX".
Refit the tap and insert the tray in the appropriate place.
To remove the ice cubes rotate the tray with the
ice needles towards the top and hit on a rigid
surface.
To semplify the release of the ice needles it is
recommended to keep the closed tray under if
possible luke warm water for a few seconds.
WARNING!
Do not use metallic instruments to remove the
trays from the freezer.
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 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.
