Storage of food in the refrigerator Important precautions and hints • Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperature and hygienic precautions produce substantial impact on the quality of stored food. • Always respect the best before date, printed on the packaging. • Food to be stored in the refrigerator should be properly packed as to prevent emission and/or reception of moisture and odors. • Never store inflammable, volatile or explosive substances.
Storage of food in the FRESH ZONE The FRESH ZONE drawer provides storage of wide selection of fresh food longer than in the traditional refrigerator. Food remains fresh for long time and it preserves its taste and nutritive ingredients. It reduces decay and loss of mass, so fruit and vegetables are more fresh and natural. The drawer must be tightly closed to provide optimum operation. • Moisture level in the drawer depends upon the moisture of stored food, and on the frequency of opening the drawer.
Freezing and storage of frozen food Storage procedure • Activate the fast freeze function by pressing the button (C) for continuous operation 24 hours prior intended freezing. - control unit I: with knob A, position SUPERFREEZE/ FRESHEXCEL; - control unit II: with key C; - mechanical regulation: knob position approximately between 4 and 6.

Storage of industrially frozen food The storage time and recommended temperature for storing commercially frozen foods is indicated on the packaging. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions for storage and use of frozen food. When shopping be careful to choose only food which is adequately packed and provided with complete data and stored in freezers where the temperature never rises above -18°C. Do not buy packages of food wrapped with frost.
Defrosting the appliance Refrigerator needs no special defrosting procedure, because ice deposited at the inner back wall is defrosted automatically. Ice deposited on the inner back wall during the compressor operation is defrosted when the compressor stops operating, and condensed water drops are drained through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor where it evaporates.
Cleaning the appliance Prior any cleaning attempt disconnect the appliance from the mains (see the control chapter for ON/OFF function), and pull the power cord from the mains wall outlet. Special antibacterial protection in top layer of inner walls prevents multiplication of bacteria and maintains the interior clean and germ free. Make sure to remove traces of any cleansing agents you had been using. • Clean the exterior of the appliance with water and liquid detergent.
• Ice and/or frost deposits exceeding 3-5 mm increase energy consumption, so you need to remove them regularly (with the exception of the NO FROST model). Do not use sharp pointed objects, solvents or sprays. • After cleaning switch the appliance on and reload the food. In order to preserve your appliance, we recommend that you use Clearit cleaning products. The expertise of professionals for the benefit of individuals.

Noise level The refrigerator – freezer appliances are cooled by the refrigeration system with a compressor (assisted by fan in certain models) whose operation may produce certain noise. The level of such noise depends upon the location, correct use and age of the appliance. • After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor (the refrigerant flow) may be somewhat louder. This does not mean that something is wrong with the appliance, neither has it any influence on the lifetime of the appliance.
