User manual

The Fan device stops when the
door is open and restarts
immediately after the door
closing.
Freezing and storage of frozen
food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
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 with the FastFreeze function
turned on.
To freeze fresh food place it in the top
compartment.
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.
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.
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
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
• Do not store warm food or evaporating
liquids in the refrigerator.
• Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it
has a strong flavour.
• Position food so that air can circulate
freely around it.
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable
packaging and place it on the glass
shelf above the vegetable drawer.
Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
