Temperature regulation
The temperature is regulated automatically.
A medium setting is generally the most
suitable.
However, the exact setting should be
chosen keeping in mind that the
temperature inside the appliance
depends on:
• room temperature,
• how often the door is opened,
• the quantity of food stored,
• the location of the appliance.
1. Turn the Temperature regulator toward lower
settings to obtain the minimum coldness.
2. Turn the Temperature regulator toward higher
settings to obtain the maximum coldness.
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.

First use
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, the interior
and all internal accessories should be washed with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap to remove the
typical smell of a brand-new product, then dried
thoroughly.
Caution! Do not use detergents or
abrasive powders, as these will damage
the finish.
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 food activate the QuickFreeze function
at least 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in
the freezer compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the two top
compartments.
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.
When the freezing process is completed, return to the
required temperature (see "QuickFreeze Function").
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.
