indicated on the rating plate of the appliance:
for refrigerating appliances with climate class:
- extended temperate: this refrigerating appliance isintended tobe used at ambient temperatures ranging
from 10 °C to 32 °C; (SN)
- temperate:thisrefrigeratingapplianceisintendedtobeusedatambienttemperaturesrangingfrom16°Cto

°C;(T)
Location
The appliance should be installed well away from sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct
sunlight etc. Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back of the cabinet. To ensure best
performance, if the appliance is positioned below an overhanging wall unit, the minimum distance
between the top of the cabinet and the wall unit must be at least 50 mm. Ideally, however, the
appliance should not be positioned below overhanging wall units. Accurate leveling is ensured by one
or more adjustable feet at the base of the cabinet.
This refrigerating appliance is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance;

Iukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand new product,
and then dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
Temperature Setting
•
PIug in your appliance. The internal temperature is controlled by a
thermostat. There are 3 settings MIN, NORMAL
and MAX. MIN is
warmest setting and MAXis coldest setting.
• The appliance may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in
a particularly hot or if you open the door often.
Daily use
Place different food in different compartments according to be below table
Freezing fresh food
• The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen
food for a long time.
• Place the fresh food to be frozen in the bottom compartment.
• The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate.
• The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be used, can be thawed in the fridge 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.
Ice-cube
This appliance may be equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes.
Helpful hints and
tips
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 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this
period;
• only freeze 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 aluminum 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 put the freezing date on each individual pack to enable you to keep
record of the storage time

17
Hints for storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use before putting the product in the compartment let the
appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.
Important! In the event of accidental defrosting, for example 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 cooked).
