The LED corresponding to the symbol
FROSTMATIC indicator lights up.
You can deactivate FROSTMATIC
function by pressing the FROSTMATIC
button again.
The FROSTMATIC indicator will light off.
This function stops
automatically after 52 hours.4.4  Temperature regulation
To operate the appliance, touch the
temperature regulator button until the

temperature lights up. Selection is
progressive, varying from 2 to 8°C.
At first button touch actual setting LED
keeps blinking.
Any time the button is touch the set
temperature is moved to 1 position .
Corresponding LED will blink for a while.
Touch the setting button until the
required temperature is selected. The set will be fixedColdest setting: +2°C.
Warmest setting: +8°C. A
medium setting is generally
the most suitable.
However, 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
• quantity of food stored
• appliance location.
5.  DAILY USE5.1  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 fresh food activate the 
FROSTMATIC function at least 24 hoursbefore placing the food to be frozen in
the freezer compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the
bottom compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can
be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the ENGLISH71
32    
						

							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
"FROSTMATIC Function").In this condition, the
refrigerator compartment
temperature might drop
below 0°C. If this occurs
reset the temperature
regulator to a warmer
setting.5.2  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 with the FROSTMATICfunction turned on.
If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers from
appliance and place food on glass shelf to obtain the best performance.
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 data chart
under "Rising time", the
defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked
immediately and then re-
frozen (after cooling).5.3  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.
5.4  DYNAMICAIR function
The DYNAMICAIR function let food cool
quickly and a more constant temperature in the refrigerator.
To activate the DYNAMICAIR device
push the switch (1).
The green indicator (2) comes on.Activate the device when the
ambient temperature more
than 25°C.5.5  Positioning the door
shelves
To permit storage of food packages of
various sizes, the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.
1. Gradually pull the shelf in the
direction of the arrows until it comes free.
2. Reposition as required.

							Do not move the lower door
shelf to ensure correct air
circulation.5.6  Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are
equipped with a series of shelves
support so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.
Some shelves must be lifted up by the
rear edge to enable them to be
removed.
Do not move the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer
to ensure correct air
circulation.5.7  Bottle rack
Place the bottles (with the opening
facing front) in the pre-positioned shelf.
Place only closed bottles.5.8  Removal of freezing
baskets from the freezer

front upwards.
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift the front of the basket to insert it into the
freezer. Once you are over the end
points, push the baskets back in their
position.

							6. HINTS AND TIPS6.1  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 ispumped.
• 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.6.2  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 setto 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.
• If foreseen, do not remove the cold accumulators from the freezer basket.
6.3  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
6.4  Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
• Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelfabove 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 either on the bottle rack orthe door bottle shelf.
• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the
refrigerator.6.5  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;
• only freeze 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 thepackages 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;
