If the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob has been set
GB
on high values with large quantities of food and with a high
ambient temperature, the appliance can operate continuously,
resulting in excessive frost formation and excessive energy
consumption: compensate for this by shifting the knob towards
lower values (defrosting will occur automatically).
In static appliances, the air circulates in a natural way: the
colder air tends to move downwards as it is heavier. The food
should be stored as follows:
6. For the correct preservation of food, all easily perishable
items (soft cheeses, raw fish, meat, etc.) should be stored in
the coldest zone of the fridge compartment, i.e. just above the
salad crisper where the temperature indicator is situated.

Using the freezer to its full potential

• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already
been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten
(within 24 hours).
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into
contact with food that has already been defrosted.
Fresh food must be stored above the grill in the freezer
compartment and if possible be in direct contact with the
walls (side and rear), where the temperature drops below
-18°C and guarantees rapid freezing.
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which
are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because
they could break.
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is
indicated on the plate containing the technical properties
located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment
(for example: Kg/24h: 4)
• In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the
freezer
compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest bin
and the special COOL CARE ZONE bin, which has an
adjustabletemperature) and place the food directly onto the
racks/glass shelves supplied [where present].
! To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer
compartment, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes
with food or containers.
! Do not open the door during freezing.
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer
door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer,
ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.
! If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended
period of time, the ideal temperature will not be reached in the
freezer compartment and food preservation will be reduced.

Ice tray
The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer drawers
ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no longer comes into contact
with the food placed inside the freezer compartment; furthermore,
the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a lid to cover
up the hole after filling with water is also provided).
1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up.
Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with water
through the opening provided.
2. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX WATER
LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes from
dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to melt and
empty the tray).
3. Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments each
mould fills with water (see diagram).
4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the tray
back, placing the top part in the corresponding housing and
allowing it to drop in again.
5. When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately 8
hours) knock the tray against a hard surface and wet the
outside so that the ice cubes come loose and take them out
through the opening.

Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect
the appliance from the electricity supply:
It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on
OFF (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.

Cleaning the appliance

• The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals
may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in
lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do
not use solvents, abrasive products, bleach or ammonia.
• The removable accessories may be soaked in warm water
and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them
carefully.
• The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be
removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner
set on medium power. The appliance must be switched
off and the plug must be pulled out before cleaning the
appliance.
