DAILY USE

Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at different heights.

1.  Gradually pull the shelf up until it comes free.
2.  Reposition as required.

This model is equipped with a variable storage box which can be moved sideways.

Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired. This appliance is also equipped with a shelf consisting of two parts. The front half of the shelf can be placed under the second half to make better use of space.

To fold the shelf:

1.  Take out the front half gently.
2.  Slide it into the lower rail and under the second half.

Important
Do not move the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer to ensure correct air circulation.

Vegetable drawer
There is a special drawer in the bottom part of the appliance suitable for storage of fruits and vegetables.
Humidity control
The glass shelf incorporates a device with slits (adjustable by means of a sliding lever), which makes it possible to regulate the humidity in the vegetable drawer(s).

The position of the humidity control depends on the type and on the amount of fruits and vegetables:

• Slots closed: recommended when there is a small amount of fruits and vegetables. In this way, the natural moisture content in fruits and vegetables is preserved longer.
• Slots opened: recommended when there is a big amount of fruits and vegetables. In this way, more air circulation results in a lower air moisture.

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 FastFreeze function at least 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in the freezer compartment. Store the fresh food evenly distributed in all compartments or drawers.

The maximum amount of food that can be frozen without adding other fresh food during 24 hours is specified on the rating plate (a label located inside the appliance). When the freezing process is complete, the appliance automatically returns to the previous temperature setting (see “FastFreeze Function”).

Storage of frozen food

HINTS AND TIPS

Hints for energy saving

• Fridge: Most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers in the bottom part of the appliance and shelves evenly distributed. Position of the door bins does not affect energy consumption.
•  Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than necessary.
•  Freezer: The colder the temperature setting, the higher the energy consumption.
•  Fridge: Do not set too high temperature to save energy unless it is required by the characteristics of the food.
•  If the ambient temperature is high and the temperature control is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run at least 3 hours with the FastFreeze function switched on. Keep the food no closer than 15 mm from the door.

CAUTION!
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 on rating plate under “rising time”, the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately then cooled and then re-frozen.

Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being consumed, can be thawed in the refrigerator or inside a plastic bag under cold water.
This operation depends on the time available and on the type of food. Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen.

• continuously, causing frost or ice formation on the evaporator. In this case, set the temperature control toward higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and to save energy this way.
• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover the ventilation grilles or holes.

Hints for freezing

• Activate FastFreeze function at least 24 hours before placing the food inside the freezer compartment.
•  Before freezing wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, plastic film or bags, airtight containers with lid.
•  For more efficient freezing and thawing divide food into small portions.
• It is recommended to put labels and dates on all your frozen food. This will help to identify foods and to know when they should be used before their deterioration.
•  The food should be fresh when being frozen to preserve good quality. Especially fruits and vegetables should be frozen after the harvest to preserve all of their nutrients.
•  Do not freeze bottles or cans with liquids, in particular drinks containing carbon dioxide – they may explode during freezing.
•  Do not put hot food in the freezer compartment. Cool it down at room temperature before placing it inside the compartment.
•  To avoid increase in temperature of already frozen food, do not place fresh unfrozen food directly next to it. Place food at room temperature in the part of the freezer compartment where there is no frozen food.
•  Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.
•  Do not re-freeze defrosted food. If the food has defrosted, cook it, cool it down and then freeze it.

Hints for storage of frozen food

• Freezer compartment is the one marked with .

•  Good temperature setting that ensures preservation of frozen food products is a temperature less than or equal to -18°C.
  Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life.

•  The whole freezer compartment is suitable for storage of frozen food products.

•  Leave enough space around the food to allow air to circulate freely.

•  For adequate storage refer to food packaging label to see the shelf life of food.

•  It is important to wrap the food in such a way that prevents water, humidity or condensation from getting inside.

Shopping tips

After grocery shopping:

• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged – the food could be deteriorated.
• If the package is swollen or wet, it might have not been stored in the optimal conditions and defrosting may have already started.
• To limit the defrosting process buy frozen goods at the end of your grocery shopping and transport them in a thermal and insulated cool bag.
• Place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer after coming back from the shop.
•  If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume it as soon as possible.
•   Respect the expiry date and the storage information on the package.

•  Cover the food with packaging to preserve its freshness and aroma.
•  Always use closed containers for liquids and for food, to avoid flavours or odours in the compartment.
•  To avoid cross-contamination between cooked and raw food, cover the cooked food and separate it from the raw one.
•  It is recommended to defrost the food inside the fridge.
•  Do not insert hot food inside the appliance. Make sure it has cooled down at room temperature before inserting it.
•  To prevent food waste the new stock of food should always be placed behind the old one.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.

Hints for food refrigeratior

•  Fresh food compartment is the one marked (on the rating plate) with
•  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.
•  It is advisable not to keep the exotic fruits like bananas, mangos, papayas etc. in the refrigerator.
•  Vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and garlic should not be kept in the refrigerator.
• Butter and cheese: place in an airtight container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible.
•  Bottles: close them with a cap and place them on the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack.
•  Always refer to the expiry date of the products to know how long to keep them.

Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, the interior and all internal accessories should be washed with lukewarm water and some neutral soap to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dried thoroughly.

CAUTION!
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, chlorine or oil-based cleaners as they will damage the finish.

CAUTION!
The accessories and parts of the appliance are not suitable for washing in a dishwasher.

Periodic cleaning

2.  Regularly check the door seals and wipe them clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.
3.  Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment 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 refrigerator compartment channel to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside. For this purpose use the tube cleaner provided with the appliance.

defrosting of the freezer

CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it.nDo not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer. About 12 hours prior to defrosting set a lower temperature in order to build up sufficient chill reserve in case of any interruption in operation. A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer shelves and around the top compartment. Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

1. Switch off the appliance or pull out electrical plug from the wall socket.
2.  Remove any stored food and put it in a cool place.

CAUTION!
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their safe storage life. Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.

1. Leave the door open. Protect the floor from the defrosting water e.g. with a cloth or a flat vessel.
2.  In order to speed up the defrosting process, place a pot of warm water in the freezer compartment. In addition, remove pieces of ice that break away before defrosting is complete.
3.  When defrosting is complete, dry the interior thoroughly.
4. Switch on the appliance and close the door.
5. Set the temperature regulator to obtain the maximum coldness and run the appliance for at least 3 hours using this setting.

Only after this time put the food back into the freezer compartment.

Period of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long period, take the following precautions:

1.  Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.
2.  Remove all food.
3.  Defrost the appliance.
4. Clean the appliance and all accessories.
