User manual
ture indicator is poorly illuminated. Cor-
rect illumination makes it easy to read.
Each time the temperature controller is
adjusted, wait for the temperature inside
the appliance to stabilise before check-
ing whether another adjustment is re-
quired. Only adjust the controller gradu-
ally and wait at least 12 hours before
checking and perhaps adjusting it again.
After putting fresh food into the
appliance or after opening the
door repeatedly or for a long pe-
riod, it is normal for the indicator
not to show “OK”; wait at least
12 hours before readjusting the
temperature controller.
If the evaporator of the refrigeration
compartment (wall at the bottom of the
appliance) has an abnormal covering of
ice (appliance too full, high ambient
temperature, thermostat too high, fre-
quent door opening), gradually move
the thermostat control to a lower setting
until there are once more periods when
the compressor stops. The automatic
defrosting of the refrigerator compart-
ment will not work correctly unless the
compressor stops from time to time.
5.2 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.
The freezer baskets ensure that it is
quick and easy to find the food package
you want. If large quantities of food are
to be stored, remove all drawers except
for the bottom basket which needs to be
in place to provide good air circulation.
On all shelves it is possible to place food
that protrude 15 mm from the door.
In the event of accidental de-
frosting, for example due to a
power failure, if the power has
been off for longer that the value
shown in the technical character-
istics chart under "rising time",
the defrosted food must be con-
sumed quickly or cooked imme-
diately and then re-frozen (after
cooling).
5.3 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be-
ing used, can be thawed in the refrigera-
tor compartment or at room tempera-
ture, 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.
5.4 DYNAMICAIR
The refrigerator compartment is equip-
ped with a device that allows for rapid
cooling of foods and more uniform tem-
perature in the compartment.
This device activates by itself when nee-
ded, for example for a quick tempera-
ture recovering after door opening or
when the ambient temperature is high.
Allows you to switch on the device man-
ually when needed (refer to "DYNAMI-
CAIR Function").
The DYNAMICAIR device stops when
the door is open and restarts immediate-
ly after the door closing.
