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.

DAILY USE

this appliance is sold in France.
In accordance with regulations valid in this country it must be provided with a special de­vice (see figure) placed in the lower compartment of the fridge to indicate the coldest zone
of it.

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.

Helpful hints and tips 11

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be posi­tioned as desired.

Positioning the door shelves

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

Bottle rack

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.

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 tempera-

ture 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

12 Care and Cleaning

• 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:
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.

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.

Replacing the Clean Air Control filter

To get the best performance replace the Clean Air Control filter once every year.
New active filters can be purchased from your local dealer.
Refer to "Installation of the Clean Air Control filter" for instructions.

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 or a vacuum cleaner. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance
and save electricity consumption.

Take care of not to damage the cooling system.

What to do if… 13

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 of 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 trough 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.

Periods of non-operation

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

• disconnect the appliance from electricity supply

• remove all food

defrost

4)

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.

WHAT TO DO IF…

26 Consignes de sécurité

Stockez les aliments selon leur nature dans la zone appropriée:

• Zone tempérée: Boissons, œufs, beurre, sauces industrielles et préparées, fromages à pâ­tes cuites, fruits et légumes frais.

• Zone fraîche: Produits laitiers, desserts lactés, matières grasses, fromages frais.

• Zone la plus froide: Viandes, volailles, poissons, charcuteries, plats préparés, salades
composées, préparations et pâtisseries à base d'œufs ou de crème, pâtes fraîches, pâte à
tarte, pizza / quiches, produits frais et fromages au lait cru, légumes prêts à l'emploi ven­dus sous sachet plastique et plus généralement, tout produit frais dont la date limite de
consommation (DLC) est associée à une température de conservation inférieure ou égale
à +4°C.

L'observation des conseils suivants est de nature à éviter la contamination croisée et à pré­venir une mauvaise conservation des aliments:

• Emballer systématiquement les produits pour éviter que les denrées ne se contaminent
mutuellement.

• Se laver les mains avant de toucher les aliments et plusieurs fois pendant la préparation
du repas si celle-ci implique des manipulations successives de produits différents, et
après, bien sûr, au moment de passer à table comme les règles d'hygiène l'imposent.

• Ne pas réutiliser des ustensiles ayant déjà servi (cuillère en bois, planche à découper sans
les avoir bien nettoyés au préalable).

• Attendre le refroidissement complet des préparations avant de les stocker (exemple :
soupe).

• Limiter le nombre d'ouvertures de la porte et, en tout état de cause , ne pas la laisser
ouverte trop longtemps pour éviter une remontée en température du réfrigérateur.

• Disposer les aliments de telle sorte que l'air puisse circuler librement tout autour.

Il convient de vérifier régulièrement que la température, notamment celle de la zone la plus
froide, est correcte et le cas échéant, d'ajuster le dispositif de réglage de température en
conséquence comme indiqué (page Utilisation)
Mesure de la température La mesure de la température dans une zone (sur une clayette,
par exemple) peut se faire au moyen d'un thermomètre placé, dès le départ, dans un réci­pient rempli d'eau (verre). Pour avoir une représentation fidèle de la réalité, lisez la tempé­rature sans manipulation des commandes ni ouverture de porte.

Respect des règles d'hygiène

• Nettoyez fréquemment l'intérieur du réfrigérateur en utilisant un produit d'entretien
doux sans effet oxydant sur les parties métalliques, puis rincer avec de l'eau additionnée
de jus de citron, de vinaigre blanc ou avec tout produit désinfectant adapté au réfrigéra­teur.

• Retirez les suremballages du commerce avant de placer les aliments dans le réfrigérateur
(par exemple suremballages des packs de yaourts).

• Couvrez les aliments.

• Consultez la notice d'utilisation de l'appareil en toutes circonstances et en particulier
pour les conseils d'entretien.

Entretien et nettoyage

• Avant toute opération de nettoyage, mettez l'appareil à l'arrêt et débranchez-le électri­quement.
