First use

10

First use

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 brand­new product, then dry thoroughly.

Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.

Check that the drain hose at the rear of the cabinet
discharges into the drip tray.

Daily use

Use of the fridge compartment

The temperature of this compartment may be regulated between +3°C and +8°C.
During normal functioning the indicator shows the set temperature inside the fridge.

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

The exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the ap­pliance depends on:

• room temperature

• how often the door is opened

• the quantity of food stored

• the location of the appliance.

If the ambient temperature is high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is set
to the lowest temperatures, it may run continuously causing frost to form on the rear wall.
In this case the Temperature regulator must be set to a warmer temperature to allow
automatic defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption.

Daily use

Use of the freezer compartment

The symbol means that the freezer is suitable for freezing fresh food and for
long term storage. The temperature may be regulated between -15°C and -24°C. We suggest
setting the temperature to -18°C, which is optimal for energy consumption and frozen
food storage.

Difference between setting temperature and actual temperature is normal.

Especially when:

• a new setting has recently been selected

• the door has been open for a long time

• warm food has been placed in the compartment.

Difference until 5°C inside the compartment are quite normal.
During operation the temperature indicator shows setting value.

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.
The freezer baskets ensure that it is quick and easy to find the food package you want. If
large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers except for the bottom basket
which needs to be in place to provide good air circulation. On all shelves except for the top
shelf it is possible to place food that protrude until load limit stated on the side of the
middle section

11

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 re­frozen (after 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.

Clean Air Control Filter

Your appliance is equipped with a carbon filter behind the air lever flap.
The filter purifies the air from unwanted odours in the fridge compartment preserving food
quality.
On delivery the filter is in a plastic bag. Refer to "Installation of the Clean Air Control filter"
for instructions.

Make sure that the air lever flap is closed to obtain proper function.

Daily use

12

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be posi­tioned as desired.
Some shelves must be lifted up by the rear edge
to enable them to be removed.

Do not move the glass shelf above the vegetable
drawer to ensure correct air circulation.

Vegetable Drawer

The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.
Some models have a separator inside the drawer that can be placed in different positions
to allow for the subdivision best suited to personal needs.
All parts inside the drawer can be removed for cleaning purposes.

The Natura fresh zone

The temperature in the Natura fresh zone is con­stantly just above 0°C. Adjustment by the user is
not necessary.
The Natura fresh zone contains two drawers.
The lower drawer with a higher humidity of the
air, is suited for keeping berries, fruits and vege­tables.
The upper drawer is suited for meat, fish and
poultry.
Foodstuffs not suitable to keep in the Natura fresh
zone:

• Cold sensitive fruits like bananas, papaya, pas-

sion fruits, avocado and citrus fruits.

• Cold sensitive vegetables like pimiento, cucum-

ber courgette, aubergine potatoes and toma­toes. Fruit and vegetables not yet mellow like
pears.

Pack all foodstuffs before keeping in the Natura
fresh zone. In this way aroma, moisture and colour
is kept for a longer time.

Suitable packing materials:

• Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps

• Plastic containers with lids

• Aluminium foil

Daily use

13

Regulation of air humidity

The two drawers are fitted with adjustable air slots. The opening of the air slots can be
adjusted with sliders, to regulate the humidity inside the drawers.

• With the air slots open, the stronger air circulation results in a lower air moisture in the

drawer.

• A closed air slots keeps the natural air moisture for longer.

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at
different heights.

Helpful hints and tips

14

Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the ar­rows until it comes free, then reposition as re­quired.

Do not move the lower door shelf to ensure cor­rect air circulation.

Removal of freezing baskets from the freezer

The freezing baskets have a limit stop to prevent
their accidental removal or falling out. At the time
of its removal from the freezer, pull the basket
towards yourself and, upon reaching the end
point, remove the basket by tilting its front up­wards.
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift the front
of the basket to insert it into the freezer. Once you
are over the end points, push the baskets back in
their position.

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:

1

Helpful hints and tips

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 temperature inside the fridge

A suitable temperature inside the fridge is approx. +5° C. When the temperature regulator
is set to +5°C this represents the mean temperature in the fridge. It is normal with higher
temperature in the top of the fridge. It is also normal with lower temperature in the lower
part.
If the temperature regulator is set to a cold temperature, the ambient temperature is high
or if the fridge is fully loaded the compressor will run for a longer time. It too cold, change
to a higher temperature setting.

Do not place food against or close to the temper­ature sensor. This can result in too cold tempera­tures.

15

If you want to check the temperature of food
stored in the refrigerator, place a glass of water
centrally in the cabinet, and put a proper ther­mometer with an accuracy of +/– 1 °C into it. After
6 hours the temperature can be monitored. The
measuring shall be performed under steady-sta­ted conditions (without changing the load).

Care and cleaning

16

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.

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 re-

tailer;

• 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.

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.

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.

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.

Care and cleaning

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance
and save energy consumption.

Take care of not to damage the cooling system.

When moving the cabinet, lift it by the front edge to avoid scratching the floor.

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the
plastics used in this appliance. For this reason use a soft cloth rinsed in warm water and
neutral soap emulsion for cleaning external surfaces.

17

What to do if…

18

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 to prevent the water overflowing
and dripping onto the food inside. It is located
behind the Natura fresh drawers in the refrigera­tor compartment.

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.

Periods of non-operation

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

1. disconnect the appliance from electricity supply

2. remove all food

3. clean the appliance and all accessories

4. leave the door/doors open 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.

What to do if…

During operation of the appliance some smaller but annoying trouble can often occur,
which does not require calling a technician out. In the following chart information is given
about them to avoid unnecessary charges on service.

The operation of the appliance goes with certain sounds (compressor and circulating
sound). This not means a trouble, but a normal operation.

The appliance operates discontinuously, so the stopping of compressor does not mean being
no current. That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the appliance before
breaking the circuit.
