User manual

Caution! If the ambient temperature is
high or the appliance is fully loaded, and
the appliance is set to the lowest
temperatures, it may run continuously
causing frost to form on the rear wall. In
this case the dial must be set to a higher
temperature to allow automatic
defrosting and therefore reduced energy
consumption.
Daily use
Warning! Refer to Safety chapters.
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh
food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long
time.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change the
medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation, turn the
temperature regulator toward higher settings to obtain
the maximum coldness.
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.
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.
