CAUTION! In this condition, the
refrigerator compartment temperature
might drop below 0°C. If this occurs
reset the temperature regulator to a
warmer setting.
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.
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.
POSITIONING THE DOOR SHELVES
To permit storage of food packages of various
sizes, the door shelves can be placed at different
heights.
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.

1. Gradually pull the shelf up until it comes free.
2. Reposition as required.
MOVABLE SHELVES
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be
positioned as desired.
Do not move the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer to ensure correct air
circulation.
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 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.
