5.6 Carbon Air Filter

Your appliance is equipped with a carbon
filter CleanAir in a drawer in the
DYNAMICAIR device.
The filter purifies the air from unwanted
odours in the fridge compartment

6. HINTS AND TIPS

6.1 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.
activate the FastFreeze function at least
24 hours before placing the food to be
frozen in the freezer compartment.
To freeze fresh food place it in the top
compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can
be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the
rating plate, a label located on the
inside of the appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours,
during this period do not add other food
to be frozen.
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).
5.8 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.

6.2 Hints for energy saving

• Eco mode / default setting preserves
fresh and frozen foods while saving
energy.
• Fresh Food Compartment (Fridge):
Most efficient use of energy is
ensured in the configuration with the
drawers in the bottom part of the
appliance and shelves evenly
distributed. Position of the door bins
does not affect energy consumption.
• If the ambient temperature is high and
the temperature control is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice
formation on the evaporator. In this
