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.
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").
When use the FastFreeze function:
about 6
hours before
Introducing small quantities of fresh
food (about 5 kg)
Fridge Freezer User Manual 11

about 24
hours before
Introducing the maximum quantity of
food (see rating plate)

not needed Introducing small quantities of fresh
food daily 2 kg maximum
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 on the higher settings.
Warning! In the event of
accidental defrosting, for
example due to a power
failure, if the power has been
off for longer than 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
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.
Cold accumulators
The freezer contains at least one cold
accumulator which increases storage time in the
event of a power cut or breakdown.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more
trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these
trays with water, then put them in the freezer
compartment.
Do not use metallic instruments to
remove the trays from the freezer.
Fridge Freezer User Manual12

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).
• A faint click noise from the temperature
regulator when the compressor switches on or
off.
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 the
Temperature Regulator is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully loaded,
the compressor may run continuously, causing
frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens,
set the Temperature Regulator toward warmer
settings to allow automatic defrosting and so a
saving in electricity consumption.
• If foreseen, do not remove the cold
accumulators from the freezer basket.
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
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.
• 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.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which can be
frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating 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 thoroughly
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 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;
Fridge Freezer User Manual 13

• 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
foodstuffs were adequately stored by the
retailer;
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred
from the foodstore to the freezer in the
shortest possible time;
• 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.
Fridge Freezer User Manual

Care and cleaning
Warning! Refer to Safety
chapters.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm
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.
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 damage the
surface and leave a strong odour.
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.
Defrosting the freezer
The freezer compartment is frost free. This
means that there is no build up of frost when it
is in operation, neither on the internal walls nor
on the foods.
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.
Warning! 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.
