User manual

When the freezing process is completed,
you can restore previously set
temperature.
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.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or
more trays for the production of ice-cubes.
Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the trays from the
freezer.
1. Fill these trays with water
2. Put the ice trays in the freezer
compartment.
Frozen Food Calendar
The symbols show different types of
frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in
months for the appropriate types of frozen
goods. Whether the upper or lower value
of the indicated storage time is valid
depends on the quality of the foods and
treating before freezing.
HINTS AND TIPS
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.
Hints for energy saving
• Medium temperature 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.
• Frozen Compartment (Freezer): The
internal configuration of the appliance
is the one that ensures the most
efficient use of energy.
• 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
