minimum energy
consumption and proper
food preservation
characteristics.3.5  FROSTMATIC function
If you need to insert a large amount of
warm food into fridge compartment (for
example after doing the grocery
shopping) or rapidly decrease the
temperature in the freezer compartment
to freeze fresh food quickly, we suggest
activating FROSTMATIC function for
proper food storage.
FROSTMATIC function can be activated
by setting the temperature to 2°C.
You can deactivate theFROSTMATIC
function by pressing the temperature
key.
This function stops
automatically after 52 hours.This function corresponds to
fridge and freezer
compartment.3.6  Door open alarm
An alarm is activated if the door is left
open for a few minutes. The door open alarm conditions are indicated by
flashing the LED indicator of the current
set temperature.
When normal conditions are restored
(door closed), the alarm will stop.3.7  High temperature alarm
An increase in the temperature in the
freezer compartment (for example due to
an earlier power failure or door is open)
is indicated by flashing the LED indicator
of the current set temperature.
The alarm indicator
continues to flash until the
normal conditions are
restored.4.  DAILY USE4.1  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 hours
before placing the food to be frozen in
the freezer compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the
third 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
"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.4.2  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 FROSTMATIC
function 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.
ENGLISH7      
						

							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).4.3  DYNAMICAIR
The DYNAMICAIR function lets the food
cool quickly and keeps a more uniform
temperature in the compartment. It is
recommended to switch on the
DYNAMICAIR function when the ambient
temperature exceeds 25°C.
To activate DYNAMICAIR device press
the button on it.
The green light comes up.When you switch off the
appliance remember to turn
off the fan by pressing
button again.
The green light comes off.5.  CARE AND CLEANINGWARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.5.1  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 typical smell of a brand- new product, then dried thoroughly.
CAUTION!
Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these
will damage the finish.5.2  Periodic cleaningCAUTION!
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.
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.5.3  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. The defrost water drains out through atrough into a special container at the
back of the appliance, over the motor
compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the
defrost water drain hole in the middle of
the refrigerator compartment channel to
prevent the water overflowing and
dripping onto the food inside.

							ProblemPossible causeSolutionThe compressor does not
start immediately after
pressing the FROSTMATIC,
or after changing the tem-
perature.This is normal, no error has
occurred.The compressor starts after a
period of time.Water flows inside the re-
frigerator.The water outlet is clog-
ged.Clean the water outlet.Food products prevent that
water flows into the water
collector.Make sure that food products
do not touch the rear plate.Water flows on the floor.The melting water outlet is
not connected to the evap-
orative tray above the com-
pressor.Attach the melting water out-
let to the evaporative tray.Temperature cannot be set.The FROSTMATIC or
COOLMATIC function is
switched on.Switch off FROSTMATIC or
COOLMATIC manually, or wait
until the function resets auto-
matically to set the tempera-
ture. Refer to "FROSTMATIC
or COOLMATIC function".The temperature in the ap-
pliance is too low/too high.The temperature regulator
is not set correctly.Set a higher/lower tempera-
ture.The food products' temper-
ature is too high.Let the food products temper-
ature decrease to room tem-
perature before storage.Many food products are
stored at the same time.Store less food products at the
same time.The FROSTMATIC function
