Electrical connection

WARNING! Risk of fire and

electrical shock.

• The appliance must be earthed.

• Make sure that the electrical information
on the rating plate agrees with the
power supply. If not, contact an
electrician.

• Always use a correctly installed
shockproof socket.

• Do not use multi-plug adapters and
extension cables.

• Make sure not to cause damage to the
electrical components (e.g. mains plug,

DAILY USE

23

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.

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

Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.

To freeze small amount of fresh foods it is
not necessary to change the present
setting.

To freeze fresh food activate the FastFreeze
function at least 24 hours before placing the
food to be frozen in the freezer
compartment.

The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating
plate, a label located on the inside of the
appliance.

The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during
this period do not add other food to be
frozen.

When the freezing process is completed,
return to the required temperature (see
"FastFreeze Function").

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 on the higher settings.

In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due to a
power failure, if the power has
been off for longer than 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).

Cold accumulators

The freezer contains at least one cold
accumulator which increases storage time
in the event of a power cut or breakdown.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or
more trays for the production of ice-cubes.

Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the trays from the
freezer.

1. Fill these trays with water

2. Put the ice trays in the freezer

compartment.

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.

HINTS AND TIPS

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).

24

• 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 foreseen, do not remove the cold
accumulators from the freezer basket.

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.

General warnings

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.

The accessories and parts of
the appliance are not suitable for
washing in a dishwasher.

Periodic cleaning

CAUTION! Do not pull, move or

damage any pipes and/or
cables inside the cabinet.

CAUTION! Take care of not to
damage the cooling system.

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

25

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

1. Clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap.

2. Regularly check the door seals and
wipe clean to ensure they are clean and
free from debris.

3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

4. If accessible, clean the condenser and

the compressor at the back of the
appliance with a brush.
This operation will improve the
performance of the appliance and save
electricity consumption.

Defrosting the freezer

The freezer compartment is frost free. This
means that there is no build up 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
