							To operate the appliance, proceed as
follows:
• turn the Temperature regulator towards lower settings to obtain the
minimum coldness.
• turn the Temperature regulator towards higher settings to obtain the
maximum coldness.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 lid is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.If the ambient temperature
is high or the appliance is
fully loaded, and the
appliance is set to the lowest
temperature, it may run
continuously causing frost to
form on the rear wall. In this
case the dial must be set to
a higher temperature to
allow automatic defrosting
and therefore reduced
energy consumption.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 foods it is not necessary
to change the medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation,
turn the temperature regulator toward
higher settings to obtain the maximum coldness.In this condition, the
refrigerator compartment
temperature might drop
below 0°C. If this occurs
reset the temperature
regulator to a warmer
setting.
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 
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.
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.
The freezer drawers ensure that it is
quick and easy to find the food package
you want. If large quantities of food are
to be stored, remove all drawers except for the bottom drawer which needs to be
in place to provide good air circulation.
On all shelves it is possible to place food that protrude until 15 mm from the door.WARNING!
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
characteristics 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.
ENGLISH7     
						

							5.4 Positioning the door
shelves
To permit storage of food packages ofvarious sizes, the door shelves can beplaced at different heights.
To make these adjustments proceed as
follows:
1. Gradually pull the shelf in the
direction of the arrows until it comes
free
2. Reposition the shelf as required.
5.5  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.5.6  Bottle rack
Place the bottles (with the opening
facing front) in the pre-positioned shelf. Place only closed bottles.5.7  Removal of freezing
baskets from the freezer
The freezing baskets have a limit stop to
prevent their accidental removal or
falling out. At the time of its removal
from the freezer, pull the basket towards
yourself and, upon reaching the end
point, remove the basket by tilting its
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 absolutelynecessary.
• 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, setthe Temperature Regulator toward
warmer settings to allow automatic
defrosting and so a saving in
electricity consumption.
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 on the door bottle shelf, or(if equipped) on the bottle rack.
• 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;
• 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
ENGLISH9 
						

							enable you to keep tab of the storage
time.6.6  Hints for storage of frozen
food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequatelystored 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.7.  CARE AND CLEANINGWARNING!
