of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least
2 hours with the Fast Freezing function
turned on.
The freezer drawers 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 drawer which needs to be in place
to provide good air circulation. On all
shelves it is possible to place food that
protrude until 15 mm from the door.
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.
Positioning the door balconies
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the door balconies can be
placed at different heights.
To make these adjustments proceed as
follows: gradually pull upwards the balcony
until it comes free (1), remove it by pushing
towards inside (2), then reposition as
required.
Movable shelves
Warning! 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).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator
compartment or at room temperature,
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the safety
glass shelves can be positioned as desired.

Fan - cooling
The fan - cooling function let food cool
quickly and a more uniform temperature in
the compartment.

function when the ambient
temperature exceeds 25°C.
The activation of the fan cooling function increases the
energy consumption.
1. Press the switch (A) to switch on the fan
- cooling .
The green light (B) comes on.
2. To deactivate the fan - cooling function
press switch (A).

The green light (B) goes off.
Temperature indicator
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.
Normal operating sounds
The following sounds are normal during
operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound
from coils sound when refrigerant is
pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from the
compressor when refrigerant is pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside
appliance caused by thermic dilatation
(a natural and not dangerous physical
phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the temperature
regulator when the compressor switches
on or off.
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.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
ENGLISH 14
• 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:
• 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.
• Bottles: these need a cap and should be
stored on the door bottle shelf, or (if
equipped) on the bottle rack.
• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if
not packed, must not be kept in the
refrigerator.
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;
• freeze only 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
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.
Care and cleaning
Warning! Refer to Safety
chapters.
