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.
If “dEMo” appears on the Display, the appliance is in demonstration mode: refer to “WHAT
TO DO IF...” paragraph.
3.2 Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen
and deep-frozen 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
upper compartment.
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.
3.3 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).
3.4 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.
3.5 Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or
more trays for the production of icecubes. Fill these trays with water, then
put them in the freezer compartment.
Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the trays from the
freezer.
3.7 Movable shelves
3.8 Positioning the door
shelves
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.
ENGLISH 9
3.6 Cold accumulators
One or more cold accumulators are supplied in the freezer; these increase the
length of time for which food will keep in
the event of a power failure or breakdown.
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 halfshelves can lie over the rear ones.
3.9 Positioning the sliding box
The sliding box can be placed at different heights.
Do make these adjustments proceed as
follow:
1.
lift the shelf with the sliding box upwards 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.

3.10 Bottle rack
4. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
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.
4.1 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.
4.2 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
4.3 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.
4.4 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 subse-
quently 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.
4.5 Hints for storage of frozen
food
To obtain the best performance from
this appliance, you should:
ENGLISH 11
• 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.
5. 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.
5.1 Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral
soap.
• regularly check the door seals and
wipe clean to ensure they are clean
and free from 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. This operation will improve
the performance of the appliance and
save electricity consumption.
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.
5.2 Defrosting of the refrigerator
5.3 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.
Frost is automatically eliminated from
the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough
into a special container at the back of
the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
Periodically clean the defrost water drain
hole in the middle of the refrigerator
compartment channel to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the
food inside. Use the special cleaner provided, which you will find already inserted into the drain hole.
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.
