direction of the arrows until it comes
free.
2. Reposition as required.ENGLISH7    
						

							5.2 Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are
equipped with a series of runners so that
the shelves can be positioned as desired.
For better use of space, the front half-
shelves (A) can be placed under the rear ones. (B)Do not move the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer
and the bottle shelf to
ensure correct air circulation.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.
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 it6.4  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 bethoroughly 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.7.  CARE AND CLEANINGWARNING!

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.7.2  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:

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.7.3  Defrosting of the
refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator
compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use.
The defrost water drains out through a trough 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.
