Hints and tips

Hints for fresh food refrigeration (only for fridge mode)

• Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
• Position the food so that air can circulate freely around it.
• For best performance, leave enough space in the refrigerator compartment for air to circulate around the packages. Also leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.
• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator.
• Meat (all types): wrap in suitable packaging and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
• Cooked foods and cold dishes: cover and place on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly and place in the vegetable drawer. Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic must not be kept in the refrigerator if not packed.
• Butter and cheese: place in special airtight containers or wrap in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
• Bottles: close with caps and place on the door balconies.

Hints for freezing fresh food (only for freezer mode)

• The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate.
• When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run for at least 2 hours on a colder setting.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter.
• Wrap food to protect it from any water, humidity or condensation; this will prevent the spread of any odours in the refrigerator, while also ensuring better storage of frozen food.
• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food.
• Never place warm food in the freezer. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy and prolongs the life of the appliance.
• Do not refreeze partially thawed food.
• Note: Never put bottled food or drinks in the frozen-food compartment.
• For best performance, leave enough space in the frozen-food compartment for air to circulate around the packages. Also leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

Hints for storing frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:

• Make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer.
• Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to the frozen-food compartment in the shortest possible time.
• Do 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.

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 frozen-food compartment: in this case, cooking will take longer.

WARNING! In the event of accidental defrosting, for example the power has been off for longer than the temperature rising time shown on the rating plate of the appliance, the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after being cooked).

Energy-saving tips

• Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room far away from any heat source (e.g. radiator, cooker, etc.) and in a place not exposed directly to the sun. If required, use an insulating plate.
• To guarantee adequate ventilation follow installation instructions.
• Insufficient ventilation on back of the product increases energy consumption and decreases cooling efficiency.
• The internal temperatures of the appliance may be affected by the ambient temperature, frequency of door opening, as well as location of the appliance. Temperature setting should take into consideration these factors.
• Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.
• Do not obstruct the air ducts with food items and leave enough space to ensure proper air circulation.
• After placing or removing food, ensure you close the door properly.
• Reduce to a minimum door opening.
• When thawing frozen food, place them in the refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen products cools the food in the refrigerator.
• Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has no impact on the efficient usage of energy. Food should be placed on the shelves in such way to ensure proper air circulation (food should not touch each other and distance between food and rear wall should be kept).
• Damaged gaskets must be replaced as soon as possible.

Cleaning and maintenance

General tips

• Regularly clean the appliance with a cloth and a solution of warm water and neutral detergent specifically formulated for refrigerator interiors. Do not use abrasive cleaners or tools.
• Before servicing or cleaning the appliance, unplug it from the mains or disconnect the power supply.

Defrosting the compartment
The compartment is frost-free. This means that there will be no build-up of frost when it is in operation, neither on the internal walls nor on the food. The absence of frost is due to the continuous circulation of cold air inside the compartment, driven by an automatically controlled fan.

Cleaning the door gasket

• The door gasket can be removed for cleaning purposes.
• Wipe or wash the door gasket with clear water and dry thoroughly with a cloth. Then reinstall it correctly.
• Keep the door gasket free of oil and grease.
• Do not fold the gasket.

If you do not use the appliance for a prolonged period

1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
3. Remove all food.
4. Clean the appliance.
5. Leave the doors open just enough to allow air to circulate inside the compartments. This will prevent the formation of mould and unpleasant odours.
6. If restart it, it will remember the last setting mode(Freezing mode or Fridge mode).

In the event of a power cut

• Note when the power cut starts and ends. This helps you track how long the refrigerator has been without power.
• Keep the doors of the appliance closed. This will allow the food to stay cold as long as possible.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume within 24 hours.
