• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance
Important! If the ambient temperature is
high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the
appliance is set to the lowest temperatures, it
may run continuously causing frost to form on
the rear wall. In this case a higher temperature
must be set to allow automatic defrosting and
therefore reduced energy consumption.

of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least
2 hours on the colder setting.
• Successful freezing depends on the correct
packaging. When you close and seal the
package you must not allow air or moisture
in or out. If you do, you could have food
odour and taste transfer throughout the
refrigerator, and also dry out frozen food.
•Note: Never put bottled food or drinks in
the freezer compartment.
• For best performance, leave enough
space in the freezer compartment for air
to circulate around the packages. Also let
enough room at the front so the door can
close tightly.
Warning! In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due to a power
failure, the defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked immediately,
cooled and then re-frozen.
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.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,
directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking
will take longer.

Hints and tips
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 is pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside
appliance caused by thermic dilatation
(a natural and not dangerous physical
phenomenon).
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and very
low internal temperature is set and the
appliance is fully loaded, the compressor
may run continuously, causing frost or ice
on the evaporator. If this happens, set the
internal temperature toward warmer one to
allow automatic defrosting and so a saving
in electricity consumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
• Do not store warm food or evaporating
liquids in the refrigerator.
• Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has
• Position food so that air can circulate freely
around it.
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable
packaging and place it on the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer. Store meat for
at most 1-2 days.

16ENGLISH
• Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and place
on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly and
place in a special drawer. Bananas, potatoes,
onions and garlic must not be kept in the
refrigerator if not packed.
• Butter and cheese: place in a special airtight
container or wrap in an aluminium foil or
a polythene bag to exclude as much air as
possible.
• Bottles: close with a cap and place on the
door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the
bottle rack.
Cautions for Use
• The mor
the longer for once the door is opened, the
more it needs electric consumption, which
even leads malfunction.
• Re-plug in the power plug at the interval of
over ten minutes.
• Do not store bottled drink in the freezer,
so as to prevent from being broken and
damaging the refrigerator.
• Open the door as less as possible during
power-cut.
• When defrosting, never use any sharp or
metallic objects to remove the frost on the
surface of the evaporator as it will damage
the evaporator.
• Do not touch foods and containers in the
freezing compartment with your wet hands
so as to prevent from being frostbitten.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some important hints:
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No
further food to be frozen should be added
during this period.
• Freeze only top quality, fresh and
• 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
polythene 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
appliance, you should:
• Make sure that the commercially frozen

• Make sur

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 indicated
by the food manufacturer.
Care and cleaning

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.
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. Defrost (if necessary) and clean the
appliance and all accessories.
4. Clean the appliance and all accessories.
5. Leave the door/doors open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
Caution! If you want to keep the appliance
switched on, ask somebody to check it
once in a while to prevent the food inside
from spoiling in case of a power failure.
Defrosting refrigerator compartment
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 at the back of the refrigerator
and dripping onto the food inside.
For this purpose use the tube cleaner provided
in the accessory bag.
Defrosting freezer compartment
The freezer compartment has automatic
defrosting function.
Due to seasonal changes, a thick layer of frost
may form. To defrost manually, observe the
followings.
• Disconnect the appliance from the power
supply, and leave open the freezer door.
• Remove all foods, ice cube tray and shelf or
transfer to refrigerator compartment.
• Clean and wipe out the melted frost with a
cloth.
• After defrosting, connect the appliance to
the power supply.
Caution! To avoid damaging the freezer
compartment wall, do not use any sharp
objects to remove the frost or separate the
frozen food.
