ENGLISH 9

5.1 Initial power on
CAUTION!
Before inserting the power
plug in to the outlet and
switching on the cabinet for
the first time, leave the
appliance standing upright for
at least 4 hours. This will
assure a sufficient amount of
time for the oil to return to the
compressor. Otherwise the
compressor or electronic
components may sustain
damage.
5.2 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.
5.3 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. 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).
5.4 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 small amount of fresh foods it is
not necessary to change the present
setting.
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 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.
5.5 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.
