Temperature regulation
The temperature within the appliance is con-
trolled by the Temperature regulator.
The temperature of the fridge compartment
may be regulated by rotating the Fridge
temperature regulator, and may vary be-
tween more or less +2°C and +8°C.
The temperature of the freezer compartment
may be regulated by rotating the Freezer
temperature regulator, and may vary be-
tween more or less -15°C and -24°C.
By turning the Temperature regulator, the
display flashes and shows the desired tem-
perature.
For a correct storage of the food the follow-
ing temperatures should be set:
+5°C in the fridge
-18°C in the freezer.
After having set the desired temperature, if
the Temperature regulator is not rotated
within 5 seconds, the latest set temperature
for the freezer compartment will be shown.
To operate the appliance, proceed as fol-
lows:
• turn the Temperature regulator clockwise
to obtain the maximum coldness
• turn the Temperature regulator counter-
clockwise to obtain the minimum coldness.
The intermediate position is usually 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 door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
Shopping Function
If you need to insert a large amount of warm
food, for example after doing the grocery
shopping, we suggest activating the Shop-
ping function to chill the products more rap-
idly and to avoid warming the other food
which is already in the refrigerator.
The Shopping function is activated by press-
ing Function button (several times if necessa-
ry) until the corresponding icon appears .
The Shopping function shuts off automatically
after approximately 6 hours.
During the Shopping function also the fan in-
side the refrigerator compartment is auto-
matically activated.

The symbols show different types of frozen
goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in
months for the appropriate types of frozen
goods. Whether the upper or lower value of
the indicated storage time is valid depends
on the quality of the foods and treating be-
fore freezing.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of
use, before putting the products in the com-
partment let the appliance run at least 12
hours on the Action Freeze setting.
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.
Important! 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).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator com-
partment 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.

er; this increase the length of time for which
food will keep in the event of a power failure
or breakdown.
ENGLISH 12

Helpful hints and tips
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high, the
temperature regulator is on the higher set-
ting and the appliance is fully loaded, the
compressor may run continuously, causing
frost or ice on the evaporator. If this hap-
pens, turn the temperature regulator to-
ward lower settings to allow automatic de-
frosting and so a saving in electricity con-
sumption.
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.
Hints for refrigeration
• Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags
and place on the glass shelf above 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 thor-
oughly cleaned and placed in the drawer.
• Butter and cheese: these should be placed
in special airtight containers or wrapped in
aluminium foil or polythene bags to ex-
clude as much air as possible.
• Milk bottles: these should have a cap and
should be stored in the bottle rack on the
door.
• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic: if
not packed, must not be kept in the refrig-
erator.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some hints:
• The maximum quantity of food which can
be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rat-
ing 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 thor-
oughly 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 pol-
ythene 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 enable you to
keep tab of the storage time.
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this ap-
pliance, you should:
• Make sure that the commercially frozen
foodstuffs were adequately stored by the
retailer.
• Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are trans-
ferred from the foodstore to the freezer in
the shortest possible time.
• Do 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 indica-
ted by the food manufacturer.
ENGLISH 13

Care and cleaning
Caution! Before carrying out any
maintenance operation, disconnect the
power supply.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its
cooling unit; maintenance and recharging
must therefore only be carried out by author-
ized technicians.
Warning! The accessories and parts of
the appliance are not suitable for
washing in a dishwasher.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with luke-
warm water and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe
clean to ensure they are clean and free
from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not pull, move or damage any
pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products or wax
polishes to clean the interior as this will dam-
age the surface and leave a strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance with
a brush . This operation will improve the per-
formance of the appliance and save electrici-
ty consumption.
Important! Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/damage
the plastics used in this appliance. For this
reason it is recommended that the outer cas-
ing of this appliance is only cleaned with
warm water with a little washing-up liquid
added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to
the mains supply.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically
eliminated from the
evaporator of the re-
frigerator compart-
ment 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 de-
frost water drain hole in the middle of the re-
frigerator compartment channel to prevent
the water overflowing and dripping onto the
food inside. Use the special cleaner provi-
ded, which you will find already inserted into
the drain hole.
No defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment of this model, on
the other hand, is a "no frost" type. This
means that there is no buildup 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.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long pe-
riods, take the following precautions:
1. Disconnect the appliance from electricity
supply.
2. Remove all food.
3. Defrost, if foreseen
4. Clean the appliance and all accessories.
5. Leave all doors ajar to prevent unpleas-
ant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody
to check it once in a while to prevent the food
inside from spoiling in case of a power fail-
ure.
ENGLISH 14
