4. DAILY USE
4.1 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
FastFreeze 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
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").
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 FastFreeze
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.
ENGLISH 7

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 Storage of the food in a
fridge compartment
Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it
has a strong flavour.
Position the food so that air can circulate
freely around it.
Keep the food on all shelves no closer
than 20 mm from the rear wall and 15
mm from the door.
4.4 FREESTORE
The FREESTORE function lets the food
cool quickly and keeps a more uniform
temperature in the compartment. It is
recommended to switch on the
FREESTORE function when the ambient
temperature exceeds 25°C.
To activate FREESTORE 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 CLEANING
WARNING!

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,
abrasive powders, chlorine
or oil-based cleaners as they
will damage the finish.
5.2 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.
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 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.
5.4 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.

Refer to Safety chapters.
7.1 Positioning
This appliance can be installed in a dry,
well ventilated indoor where the ambient
temperature corresponds to the climate
class indicated on the rating plate of the
appliance:
Climate
class
Ambient temperature
SN +10°C to + 32°C
N +16°C to + 32°C
ST +16°C to + 38°C
T +16°C to + 43°C
7.2 Location
It must be possible to
disconnect the appliance
from the mains power
supply. The plug must
therefore be easily
accessible after installation.
The appliance should be installed well
away from sources of heat such as
radiators, boilers, direct sunlight etc.
Ensure that air can circulate freely
around the back of the cabinet. To
ensure best performance, if the
appliance is positioned below an
overhanging wall unit, the minimum
distance between the top of the cabinet
and the wall unit must be at least
100mm. Ideally, however, the appliance
should not be positioned below
overhanging wall units. One or more
adjustable feet at the base of the cabinet
ensure that the appliance stands level.

CAUTION!
In order to guarantee proper
functioning in ambient
temperature above 38°C, it
is advised to have a 30mm
separation between the
sides of the appliance and
surrounding furniture.
7.3 Levelling
When placing the appliance ensure that
it stands level. This can be achieved by
two adjustable feet at the bottom in front.
7.4 Electrical connection
• Before plugging in, ensure that the
voltage and frequency shown on the
rating plate correspond to your
domestic power supply.
