3.12 DynamicAir

4. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

ENGLISH 11

The refrigerator compartment is equip­ped with a device that allows for rapid
cooling of foods and more uniform tem­perature in the compartment.
This device activates by itself when nee­ded, for example for a quick tempera­ture recovering after door opening or
when the ambient temperature is high.
Allows you to switch on the device man­ually when needed (refer to DynamicAir
mode).

The DynamicAir device stops when the
door is open and restarts immediately
after the door closing.

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 evaporat-

ing 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.
Fruits and vegetables: these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer(s) provided. When in con­tact, lemon juice can discolor the plastic
parts of your fridge. It is therefore rec­ommended to keep citruses in separate
containers.
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.
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 thor-

oughly cleaned, foodstuffs;

• prepare food in small portions to ena-

ble 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.

4.5 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.

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 Replacing the carbon air

filter

To get the best performance the carbon
air filter should be changed once every
year.

5.3 Defrosting the refrigerator

5.4 Defrosting of the freezer

The freezer compartment of this model,
on the other hand, is a "no frost" type.
This means that there is no buildup of
frost when it is in operation, neither on
the internal walls nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the con­tinuous circulation of cold air inside the
compartment, driven by an automatically
controlled fan.

5.5 Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for
long periods, take the following precau­tions:

ENGLISH 13

New active air filters can be purchased
from your local dealer.
Refer to "Installation of the carbon air fil­ter" for the instructions.

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

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 drain
hole into a special container at the back
of the appliance, over the motor com­pressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to 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.

• disconnect the appliance from elec-

tricity supply

• remove all food

• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the ap­pliance and all accessories

• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent
unpleasant smells.

If the cabinet will be kept on, ask some­body to check it once in a while to pre­vent the food inside from spoiling in
case of a power failure.
