3. DAILY USE
3.1 Before first use
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.
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 Fast Freeze 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 top compartment. The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rat- ing 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 Movable shelves
3.6 Positioning the door shelves
ENGLISH 7
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of supports so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at different heights. To make these adjustments proceed as follows: gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free, then reposi­tion as required.

3.8 Humidity control
4. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
The glass shelf incorporates a device with slits (adjustable by means of a sliding lev­er), which makes it possible to regulate the temperature in the vegetable draw­er(s). 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.
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 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.
5. CARE AND CLEANING
ENGLISH 9
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.
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 the refrigerator
5.3 Defrosting the freezer
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
A certain amount of frost will al­ways form around the top com­partment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
Switch off the appliance. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place.
Open the door. When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly. Switch on the appliance. Set the temperature regulator to ob-
tain the maximum coldness and run the appliance for two or three hours using this setting.
Reload the previously removed food into the compartment.
WARNING!
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.
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.
5.4 Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:
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.
