Helpful hints and tips

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 not a fault
with the appliance and is a completely normal
operating sound.

• 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. This is not a fault with the
appliance and is a completely normal
operating sound.

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:

• 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.
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.

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 brand-new
product, then dry thoroughly.

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

If “dEMo” appears on the Display, the
appliance is in demonstration mode:
refer to “WHAT TO DO IF...”
paragraph.

user manual 7

Daily use

Use of the fridge compartment

The temperature of this compartment may be
regulated between +2°C and +8°C.
During normal functioning the indicator shows
the 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.

Important! 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 higher temperature to
allow automatic defrosting and therefore
reduced energy consumption.

Movable shelves

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

8 user manual

Positioning the door shelves

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.

Bottle rack

Place the bottles (with the opening facing front)
in the pre-positioned shelf.

Important! 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.

Fan

The refrigerator compartment is equipped with
a fan that allows for rapid cooling of foods and
more uniform temperature in the compartment.

This fan activates by itself when needed, for
example for a quick temperature recovering
after door opening or when the ambient
temperature is high.
Allows you to switch on the fan manually when
needed (refer to " Fan Function").
