Odour removal
The refrigerator compartment is equipped
with a air purifier which uses unique platinum
sterilization technology to purify air from
unwanted odours. Natural ions can be released
all the time to create sterile and healthy
environment in the refrigerator compartment.

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).
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 very
low internal temperature is set and the
appliance is fully loaded, the compressor
may run continuously, causing frost or ice
on the evaporator. If this happens, set the
internal temperature toward warmer one to
allow automatic defrosting and so a saving
in electricity consumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
• Do not store warm food or evaporating
liquids in the refrigerator.
Platinum fresh has no need for any filter
change.
Temperature indicator
In accordance with regulations in some
countries, it must be provided with a special
device (see the figure below) placed in the lower
refrigerator compartment of the appliance to
indicate the coldest zone of it.
• 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.
