• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been

defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24

hours).

• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact

with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be

stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment where

the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid

freezing.

• To freeze fresh food in the best and safest way possible, activate

the SUPER FREEZE function 24 hours before placing the food in

the freezer. After placing the food inside, activate the SUPER

FREEZE function again; it will be deactivated automatically after 24

hours;

• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are

corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could

break.

• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is

indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located

on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment (for

example: Kg/24h: 4).

• In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer

compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest bin

and the special COOL CARE ZONE bin, which has an

adjustable temperature) and place the food directly onto the

evaporator plates.

! If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended period

of time, the ideal temperature will not be reached in the freezer

compartment and food preservation will be reduced.

! Do not open the door during freezing.

! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer

door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer,

ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.

Easy Ice

The double tub was designed to optimise space in the freezer

compartment and to ensure that ice is always readily available. The

trays can be stacked or filled and used separately.

Furthermore, the special fastening system makes Easy Ice an

extremely flexible solution, as it can be positioned in the right or left

part of the top drawers.

Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the

appliance from the electricity supply:

1. set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on

2. pull the plug out of the socket

Cleaning the appliance

• The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals may

be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm

water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do not use

solvents, abrasive products, bleach or ammonia.

• The removable accessories may be soaked in warm water and

soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them carefully.

• The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be

removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set

on medium power. The appliance must be switched off and the

plug must be pulled out before cleaning the appliance.

Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours

• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which are

odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to

prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or

sealed properly.

• If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period of

time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.

Defrosting the appliance

! Follow the instructions below.

Do not speed up the defrosting process by using any devices or

tools other than the scraper provided, you may damage the

refrigeration circuit.

Defrosting the refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function: water is

ducted to the back of the appliance by a special discharge outlet

(

see diagram

) where the heat produced by the compressor

causes it to evaporate. It is necessary to clean the discharge hole

regularly so that the water can flow out easily.

Defrosting the freezer compartment

If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost

manually:

1. Set the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the position

OFF

2. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in another

freezer or in a cool place.

3. Leave the door open until the frost has melted completely. This

can be made easier by placing containers with lukewarm water

in the freezer compartment.

4. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully before

switching the appliance on again.

5. Certain appliances are fitted with the DRAIN SYSTEM to lead the

water outside: let the water flow into a container (

see diagram

* Varies by number and/or position, available only on certain

models.
