Refrigerator User Manual 9

Daily use
Warning! Refer to Safety
chapters.
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.
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various
sizes, the door shelves can be placed at different
heights.
1. Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the
arrows until it comes free.
2. Reposition as required.
Bottle rack
The bottles should be placed (with the opening
facing front) in the pre-positioned shelf.
After pulling the shelf up so it can rotate
upwards and placing on the next higher level, his
bottle holder shelf can be used to store
previously opened bottles.
Caution! If the shelf is
positioned horizontally, place
only closed bottles.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be
positioned as desired.
Refrigerator User Manual

Do not move the glass shelf above
the vegetable drawer to ensure
correct air circulation.
Fan
The refrigerator compartment is equipped with
a device that allows rapid cooling of food and
keeps a more uniform temperature in the
compartment.
This device activates automatically when
needed, for example for a quick temperature
recovery after door opening or when the
ambient temperature is high.
It is possible to switch on the
device manually when needed
(refer to "Fan function").
The Fan device stops when the
door is open and restarts
immediately after the door closing.
Refrigerator User Manual 11

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.
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.

Care and cleaning
Warning! Refer to Safety
chapters.
General warnings
Caution! Unplug the appliance
before carrying out any
maintenance operation.
This appliance contains
hydrocarbons in its cooling unit;
maintenance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by
authorized technicians.
The accessories and parts of the
appliance are not suitable for
washing in a dishwasher.
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.
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.
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.
Refrigerator User Manual 13

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.
We recommend activating
Holiday mode.

but temperature adjustment will not
be possible).
The lamp does not work. The lamp is in stand-by. Close and open the door.
The lamp is defective. Contact the nearest Authorised Serv-
ice Centre.
Refrigerator User Manual 15

Problem Possible cause Solution
The compressor operates continu-
ally.
Temperature is set incorrectly. Refer to "Operation".
Many food products were put in
at the same time.
Wait some hours and then check the
temperature again.
The room temperature is too
high.
Refer to climate class chart on the rat-
ing plate.
Food products placed in the ap-
pliance were too warm.
Allow food products to cool to room
temperature before storing.
The door is not closed correctly. Refer to "Closing the door".
The "IntensiveCooling" is switch-
ed on.
Refer to "IntensiveCooling function".

to flow into the water collector.
Make sure that food products do not
touch the rear plate.
The water outlet is clogged. Clean the water outlet.
Water flows on the floor. The melting water outlet is not
connected to the evaporative
tray above the compressor.
