First use
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.
Daily Use
Caution! This refrigerating appliance is not suitable for freezing foodstuffs.
Accessories
Positioning the door balconies
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be
placed at different heights.
- Gradually pull the shelf up until it comes free.
- Reposition as required.
The model is equipped with a sliding door balcony which is fitted under a dairy compartment and can be slid sideways.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that
the shelves can be positioned as desired.
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.
- To remove the drawer lift its front part.
- Pull out the whole drawer together with the lids.
Caution! You can place a maximum of 4 kg on each lid.
Hints and tips
Hints for energy saving
- 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.
- 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 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 fresh food refrigeration
- The medium temperature setting ensures good preservation of fresh food. Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life of food.
- 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 the 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.
Hints for food refrigeration
- Fresh food compartment is the one marked (on the rating plate)
- 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.
- Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly (eliminate the soil) and place in a special drawer (vegetable drawer).
- 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.
Care and cleaning
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.

soap.
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 situated
under the salad drawers to prevent the water from overflowing and dripping
onto the food inside.
For this purpose use the tube cleaner provided with the appliance.
Cleaning the air channels
- Remove the plinth (A), then the ventilation grid (B).
- Clean the ventilation grid.
- Carefully pull the air deflector out (C), checking that there is no water left from the defrosting.
- Clean the lower part of the appliance with a vacuum cleaner.
Period of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long period, take the following
precautions:
- Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.
- Remove all food.
- Clean the appliance and all accessories.
- Leave the door open to prevent unpleasant smells.
