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
re-frozen (after cooling).
AIR 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.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.
The ClimaTech technology let food cool
quickly and a more uniform temperature
in the compartment
This device allows for rapid cooling of
foods and a more uniform temperature in
the compartment.
CARBON AIR FILTER
CLEANAIR CONTROL
Your appliance is equipped with a carbon
filter CLEANAIR CONTROL behind a flap
in the rear wall of the fridge compartment.
The filter purifies the air from unwanted
odours in the fridge and LONGFRESH
compartment meaning that the storage
quality will be further improved.
During the operation, always keep
the air ventilation flap closed.

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.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
ENGLISH
15
NORMAL OPERATING
SOUNDS
• You may hear a faint gurgling and a
bubbling sound when the refrigerant is
pumped through the coils or tubing.
This is correct.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped around and you
will hear a whirring sound and a pulsating noise from the compressor. This is
correct.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a
sudden cracking noise. It is natural, not
dangerous physical phenomenon. This
is correct.
• When the compressor switches on or
switches off, you will hear a faint "click"
of the temperature regulator. This is
correct.
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.
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.
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

CARE AND CLEANING
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 brand-new product, then dry
thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage
the finish.
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.
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.
DEFROSTING THE REFRIGERATOR
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.
Use the special cleaner provided, which
you will find already inserted into the
drain hole.
