If large quantities of food are inserted or the refrigerator door frequently opened, it is normal for the indicator fails to show OK. Wait at least 10 h before adjusting the knob to a higher setting.
Use the table below for the compartments
Freezing process can only occur in the compartments

PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Place food on the shelves in a homogeneous manner to allow air to circulate properly and to cool it.

• Avoid contact between the food and the far end walls of the refrigerator compartment.
• Do not introduce hot foods as they can cause deterioration of existing ones and increase energy consumption.
• Remove the wrappings of foods before inserting them.
• Do not put in dishes or other containers unless previously washed.
• Do not obstruct the cold air ventilator openings with food.
• Do not cover the glass shelf of the vegetable bin to allow for proper air circulation.
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment as they can burst when frozen.
• ln the case of prolonged power outage, keep the doors closed so that foods remain cold as long as possible.
• The installation of the appliance in a hot and humid location, with frequent door openings and storing large amounts of vegetables can cause the formation of condensate and affect the performance of the unit itself.
• To prevent excessive energy consumption, the frequent or prolonged opening of the doors is not recommended.

FREEZING

• Foods must be fresh.

• Freeze small amounts of food at a time in order to freeze quickly.
  Never exceed the maximum amount indicated on the rating label.

• During freezing, do not open the freezer door.

• Food must be sealed, airtight.

• Separate food to be frozen by those already frozen.

• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of frozen foods.

• Once defrosted, do not ever refreeze foods and consume them promptly.

NOTE:

PRODUCTS WITHOUT DISPLAY
Normally it is not necessary to intervene with the thermostat knob. Only in case you find excessive cooling of the products contained in the refrigerator compartment, gently turning the thermostat knob toward 0 is recommended (Fig. 7).

On completion of freezing, return the knob to the usual position.

DEFROSTING

Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
During normal functioning, the refrigerator is automatically defrosted.
There is no need to dry the drops of water present on the rear wall or to eliminate the frost (depending on functioning).
The water is conveyed to the rear part through the drain hole found there and the heat of the compressor causes it to evaporate.

• Keep the drainage pipe (Fig. 8) clean in the refrigerator compartment to keep it free of water
  

Defrosting of the fridge compartment occurs automatically in this product.

We recommend you defrost the freezer area when the layer of frost is more than 3 mm thick.
A small amount of frost or drops of water on the back of the compartment when the fridge is working is normal.
Make sure the water outlet is always clean and make sure foods do not touch the back or sides of the fridge compartment.
N.B. Here you will find your appliance rating plate: it includes all the data to be transmitted to the Customer Service should a fault arise.

The most energy-saving configuration requires drawers, food box and shelves to be positioned in the product, please refer to the above pictures.

Important: if your ambient temperature is high, the appliance may operate continuously, thus building up excessive frost on the inner wall of the fridge. In this case, turn the fridge knob to a warmer setting (1-2)

Defrosting the freezer compartment (static products without NO-FROST technology)
When the layer of frost present in the freezer compartment exceeds 3mm, it is recommended to proceed with the defrosting as it increases energy consumption.

1. Rotate the knob to the „0“ position (Fig .9)

2. Disconnect the power cord.

3. Remove the frozen food and temporarily place them in a cool place.

4. Leave the freezer door open to speed defrosting.

5. Collect the water on the bottom of the product.

6. Dry the freezer.

7. Reconnect the power cord and set the desired values.

8. Wait a moment and reintroduce the frozen foods.

WARNING:
Absolutely avoid the use of open flames or electrical appliances, such as heaters, steam cleaners, candles, oil lamps and the like to accelerate the defrosting phase.
Do not scrape with a knife or sharp object to remove frost or ice present. These can damage the refrigerant circuit, the leakage of which can cause a fire or damage your eyes.
