• press the temperature regulator more times until the LED corresponding to the required
temperature lights up. Selection is progressive, varying from +2°C to +8°C.
A medium setting is generally the most suitable.
However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside
the appliance depends on:
• room temperature
• how often the door is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.
If the ambient temperature is lower than 16°C press the temperature regulator until the
LED corresponding to the lowest temperature lights up.

Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
6First use
 
						

							Daily use
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be posi-
tioned as desired.
Bottle rack
Place the bottles (with the opening facing front)
in the pre-positioned shelf.
If the shelf is positioned horizontally, place only
closed bottles.
This bottle holder shelf can be tilted in order to
store previously opened bottles. To obtain this re-
sult, pull the shelf up so it can rotate upwards and
be placed on the next higher level.
Vegetable drawer with humidity control
The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.
There is a separator inside the drawer that can be
placed in different positions to allow for the sub-
division best suited to personal needs.
There is a grille (if foreseen) on the bottom of the
drawer to separate the fruit and vegetables from
any humidity that may form on the bottom sur-
face.
All parts inside the drawer can be removed for
cleaning purposes
Daily use7
 
						

							To regulate the humidity in the vegetable drawer
the glass shelf incorporates a device with slits (ad-
justable by means of a sliding lever).
When the ventilation slots are closed:
the natural moisture content of the food in the
fruit and vegetable compartments is preserved for
longer.
When the ventilation slots are opened:
more air circulation results in a lower air moisture
content in the fruit and vegetable compartments.
Positioning the door half shelf
The door half shelf can be placed at different heights.
To make these adjustments proceed as follow:
1. lift the shelf with the door half shelf up-
wards and out of the holders in the door
2. remove the retaining bracket out of the
guide under the shelf
3. Reverse the above operation to insert the
half shelf at a different height.
Air cooling
The Dynamic Air Cooling (DAC) fan let food cool quickly and a more uniform temperature
in the compartment.
You can switch on the fan by pressing the switch
shown in the picture. The green light comes on.
Switch on the fan when the ambient temperature
exceeds 25°C.
Using of the Twist&Serve ice maker
This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production and the storage of
ice-cubes. Twist&Serve ice maker is positioning in the freezer compartment under the shelf.
B
8Daily use
 
						

							It consists of a double tray ice dispenser and of an
ice box.
It is possible to shift the Ice Dispenser on left or
on right according to your space needs.
Pull the double tray Ice Maker and fill the trays
with water at 3/4 of their maximum capacity.
After the water has been frozen, twist the trays
knob in the direction of the arrow so that the ice
cubes fall directly into the box below.
Pull the Ice box and pick up the Ice cubes.
Freezing 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.
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-
frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the Frostmatic function at least 24 hours before placing the
food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
Move the shelf present in the freezer compartment to the middle seat, keeping it horizontal.
Place the fresh food to be frozen on that shelf.
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.
After 24 hours, when the freezing process is completed, return to the required temperature
(refer to Temperature regulation).
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 on the higher settings.
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).
Daily use9
 
						

							Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator com-
partment 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.
Helpful hints and tips
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the Temperature Regulator is set to low tem-
perature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing
frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, set the Temperature Regulator toward
warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator
• do 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 polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable
drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s)
provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in
aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating
plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during
this period;
• only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
• prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to
make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are
airtight;
