DAILY USE
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time,
the interior and all internal accessories
should be washed with lukewarm water
and some neutral soap to remove the

It is possible to change the time
at any time during the
countdown and at the end by
pressing the Temperature colder
button and the Temperature
warmer button.
• Handle the bottles with care, to avoid
agitating the wine.
Follow the recommendations
and advice received at the time
of purchase or given in the
technical documentation
regarding the quality, duration
and optimum storage
temperature of the wine.
Air circulation
Wine arrangement
The temperature can be adjusted between
+ 6 and + 16°C.
This compartment is ideal for storing and
refining red or white wines for long periods.
• Lay the bottles down in such a way that
the corks do not dry.
• Keep the wine in the dark. The door is in
anti-UV darkened double glass to
protect the wine from the light in case
the appliance is located in a well-lit
place.
• Avoid switching the appliance light on
too often or for too long. Wine keeps
better in the dark.
• Do not cover the shelves with
any protective material, such
as paper, cardboard or
plastic, which may obstruct
the air circulation through
them.
• Do not place the bottles at
directly against the back wall
of the compartment which
will obstruct the air circulation
through them.
Storage advice
The storage time for wine depends on
ageing, the type of grapes, alcoholic
content and level of fructose and tannin
contained in it. At the time of purchase,
22
check if the wine is already aged or if it will
improve over time.
Wine compartment shelves
The shelves can be removed for cleaning.
Adjust the shelves as follows:
• The long shelves must be placed on the
horizontal guides.
• Only the short shelf can be inserted in
the shelf support structure in an inclined
position. During this operation, make
sure that the rear pins are properly
inserted in the guides.
• The shelf support structure must be
placed at the bottom of the
compartment.
food to be frozen in the freezer
compartment.
Place the food to be frozen in the top
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.
WARNING! 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).
Only the short shelf can be
inserted in the shelf support
structure in an inclined position.
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
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.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with two trays
for the production of ice-cubes.
1. Fill the trays with water.
23
2. Put the trays in the freezer
compartment
CAUTION! Do not use metallic
instruments to remove the tray
from the freezer.
Cold accumulators
The freezer contains at least one cold
accumulator which increases storage time
in the event of a power cut or breakdown.
Frozen Food Calendar
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).
• 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 hours is shown on the
rating plate;
The symbols show different types of frozen
goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in
months for the appropriate types of frozen
goods. Whether the upper or lower value of
the indicated storage time is valid depends
on the quality of the foods and treating
before freezing.
• 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:
24
• 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;
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.
• once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly
and cannot be refrozen;
• do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the food manufacturer.
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
Your appliance 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
compartment, driven by an automatically
controlled fan.
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.
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.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1.
Disconnect the appliance from
electricity supply.
2.
Remove all food.
3. Clean the appliance and all accessories.
4. Leave the door/doors open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
WARNING! If you want to keep
the appliance switched on, ask
somebody to check it once in a
while to prevent the food inside
from spoiling in case of a power
failure.
