							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
subdivision 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 bot-
tom surface.
All parts inside the drawer can be removed for
cleaning purposes
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 mois-
ture content in the fruit and vegetable compart-
ments.
Air cooling
The Dynamic Air Cooling (DAC) fan let food cool quickly and a more uniform tempera-
ture in the compartment.
Daily use11
 
						

							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 tempera-
ture exceeds 25°C.
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.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the bottom 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.
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.
If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and baskets from appli-
ance and place food on cooling shelves to obtain the best performance.
WARNING!
Make sure that foods do not exceed the load limit stated on the side of the upper section
(where applicable) 
In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power
has been off for longer that 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).
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.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice- cubes.

							These are insert on the sides of the upper freezer drawer.
Pull out the upper freezer drawer.
Extract the ice-tray.
Pull out the tap. Fill with water to the limit indi-
cated MAX.
Refit the tap and insert the tray in the appropri-
ate place.
To remove the ice cubes rotate the tray with the
ice needles towards the top and hit on a rigid sur-
face.
To semplify the release of the ice needles it is rec-
ommended to keep the closed tray under if pos-
sible luke warm water for a few seconds.
WARNING!
Do not use metallic instruments to remove the
trays from the freezer.
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, cook-
ing 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, caus-
ing frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, set the Temperature Regulator to-
ward warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity con-
sumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator
Helpful hints and tips13
 
						

							• 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 vegeta-
ble 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 draw-
er(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 dur-
ing 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;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding
a rise in temperature of the latter;
• lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;
• water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can
possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to
keep tab of the storage time.
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the re-
tailer;
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the freezer in the
shortest possible time;
• not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.

							CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging
must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from
debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax pol-
ishes to clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance
and save electricity consumption.
Take care of not to damage the cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the
plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer casing of
this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply.
Replacing the Taste Guard filter
The Taste Guard filter helps to reduce the odours inside the fridge limiting the risk of
unwanted aroma in sensitive food
To get the best performance the Taste Guard filter should be changed once every year.
New active air filters can be purchased from your local dealer.
• The air filter is placed behind the flap and can be reached by pulling the flap outward
(1)
• pull out of the slot the exhausted air filter.
Care and cleaning15
 
						

							• insert the new air filter in the slot (2)
•close the flap.
The air filter is a consumable accessory and as
such is not covered by the guarantee.
During the operation, always keep the air ven-
tilation flap closed.
The air filter should be handled carefully to
prevent its surface from being scratched.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out
through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor
compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refrigera-
tor compartment channel to prevent the water
overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided, which you will
find already inserted into the drain hole.
Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment of this model, on the other hand, is a no frost type. This
means that there is no buildup of frost when it is in operation, neither on the internal
walls nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continuous circulation of cold air inside the compart-
ment, driven by an automatically controlled fan.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:
•
disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
• remove all food
•
defrost 
5)and clean the appliance and all accessories
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
