Improper use
Risk of damage to the
appliance
• Do not use sharp objects when
removing ice and frost in order not
to damage the appliance's walls.
• Do not sit or lean on the door or any
open drawers.
• Do not touch the heating elements
on the outside of the appliance.
• Do not store inflammable, explosive
or volatile substances.
• Do not store explosive substances such
as aerosol cans with a flammable
propellant in this appliance.
• Organic compounds, acids and
essential oils can corrode the seals
and plastic surfaces if left in contact
with them for extended periods.
• Bottles containing strong alcoholic
drinks must be tightly closed and
stored vertically.
3.3 First use
After installing or repositioning
the appliance, wait at least two
hours before activating it.
EN
Plug the appliance into a wall socket.
To turn the appliance on, turn the thermostat
knob on the control panel from position
(off) to position 1 - 7, according to the
desired temperature.
The higher the number set (from
1 to 7), the lower the fridge
temperature will be.
3.4 Using the accessories
Shelves
These can be positioned at different heights
on the guides according to requirements.
Each shelf has a safety fitting to prevent it
from being accidentally removed. To extract
them fully, lift up the rear part (1) and
remove them (2).
3.2 Preliminary operations
1. Remove any protective film from the
outside or inside of the appliance,
including accessories.
2. Remove any labels (apart from the
technical data plate) from the
accessories and shelves.
3. Remove and wash all the appliance
accessories (see 4 Cleaning and
maintenance).
Perishable foods should be
placed on the rear part of the
shelves where the temperature
is lower.
33
Use
Bottle rack
May be positioned at different heights and
installed with the front part raised so as to
position the bottles at an angle. In order to
store particularly long bottles, the bottle
rack must be set at a height which will not
prevent the door from being closed
properly. To extract it fully, lift up the rear
part and remove it.
Door balconies and shelves
Suitable for storing eggs, butter, dairy
products, conserves and other small food
packages/containers. The lower part of the
door has a shelf for bottles. Avoid placing
excessively heavy bottles on the shelf and
do not let them drop onto the bottom when
inserting them.
34
Use
Fruit and vegetable drawer
Located at the bottom of the refrigerator
compartment, which is fitted with a glass
shelf to cover fresh foods that require
constant humidity for optimum storage.
Storing vegetables with high
content of water can generate
condensation on the glass
shelf. This is a natural
phenomenon which does not
affect the appliance’s operation
in any way.
3.5 Using the refrigerator
compartment
Arranging foods
Arrange the foods on the various shelves,
taking care that they have an airtight
wrapping or cover. This precaution ensures
that:
• the flavour, moisture and freshness of the
foods is preserved;
• any contamination of foods with odours
or tastes from other foods can be
avoided;
• the humidity level inside the refrigerator is
prevented from becoming too high as a
result of the normal transpiration of food
(especially fresh fruit and vegetables). In
some operating conditions (rise in
ambient temperature and humidity, more
frequent opening of the door) this might
cause condensation to form on the
shelves.
Always allow hot foods and
drinks to cool to room
temperature before putting
them in the appliance.
EN
Ice tray
Fill the ice tray with water, which can be
cold or at room temperature. Place it
horizontally in the freezer. Close the freezer
door and wait a few hours. When the water
has fully frozen, remove the tray from the
freezer compartment and remove the ice for
use.

Use
3.6 Using the freezer compartment
To keep and freeze foods properly:
• pack fruit and vegetables in portions of
no more than 1 kg and meat and fish in
portions of up to 2 kg.
• small packages freeze quickly which
means that the foods' nutritional
properties are preserved better,
including after defrosting/preparation.
• package foods in hermetically sealed
packages, expelling air as much as
possible.
• Do not use paper bags or shopping
bags, use the suitable freezer bags/
containers.
Always allow hot foods and
drinks to cool to room
temperature before putting
them in the appliance.
Frozen foods storage life table
Foodstuff Time
Fruit, beef max 10-12 months
vegetables, veal, poultry max 8-10 months
Game max 6-8 months
Pork max 4-6 months
Mince max 4 months
Bread, desserts, cooked
foods, oily fish
Offal max 2 months
Sausages, lean fish max 1 month
max 3 months
Defrosted foods
Food must be consumed as soon as
possible once defrosted. Freezing foods
preserves them, but it does not destroy any
micro-organisms, which are activated after
thawing, damaging the foods.
Partial defrosting lowers the nutritional value
of the foodstuffs, particularly of fruit,
vegetables and ready meals.
36
Use
3.7 Noises during operation
The refrigerator and freezer compartments
are cooled by means of a compression
system. In order to maintain the preset
temperature inside the refrigerator and
freezer compartments, the compressor
comes into operation in response to the
level of cooling required, and may operate
continuously if necessary. When the
compressor starts to function, it creates a
buzzing noise which generally diminishes in
intensity after a few minutes.
Another normal operating noise of the
appliance is a gurgling due to the coolant
flowing through the pipes in the circuit. This
noise is normal and does not indicate an
appliance malfunction. If it becomes too
loud, this may mean that there are other
causes. Checks must then be made to
ensure that:
• The refrigerator is properly levelled on
the floor and does not vibrate when the
compressor is in operation: if this is not
the case, adjust the appliance's feet until
it is level;
• The drawers, shelves and trays on the
door are correctly positioned in their
holders: if they are not, put them in
correctly;
• Bottles and containers on the various
shelves are stable and not touching each
other: otherwise, the vibration resulting
from compressor operation could
generate noise;
• Do not place the fridge in such a way
that it is in contact with furniture or other
household appliances.
3.8 Heated front surface
There is a front surface heating system
inside the cabinet to limit the formation of
condensation around the door seal.
3.9 Turning the appliance off
Whenever the appliance is to remain
unused for long periods, it should be
switched off.
1. Turn the thermostat knob on the control
panel to position (off).
2. Unplug the appliance from the wall
socket.
3. Empty the compartments.
4. Once the freezer has fully defrosted, dry
any residual accumulated moisture with
a tea towel.
Leave the door ajar to ensure
that moisture and stagnant air
do not cause unpleasant
odours.
