4.1 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 brandnew product, then dried thoroughly. CAUTION! Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, chlorine or oil-based cleaners as they will damage the finish.

• Do not cover the shelves with any protective material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may obstruct the air circulation through them.
• Do not place the bottles at directly against the back wall of the compartment which will obstruct the air circulation through them.

4.3 Wine cooler compartment

shelves The shelves can be removed for cleaning. Adjust the shelves as follows: ENGLISH

• The long shelves must be placed on the horizontal guides.
• Only the short shelf can be inserted in the shelf support structure in an inclined position. During this operation, make sure that the rear pins are properly inserted in the guides.
• The shelf support structure must be placed at the bottom of the compartment. It is possible to switch on the device manually when needed (refer to "DYNAMICAIR function"). The DYNAMICAIR device stops when the door is open and restarts immediately after the door closing.

4.5 Storage of frozen food

Only the short shelf can be inserted in the shelf support structure in an inclined position.

The wine cooler compartment is equipped with a device that allows rapid cooling of food and keeps a more uniform temperature in the compartment. This device activates automatically when needed, for example for a quick temperature recovery after door opening or when the ambient temperature is high. 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. WARNING! 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 in the technical characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooling).

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 freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.

This appliance is equipped with one tray for the production of ice-cubes. The freezer contains at least one cold accumulator which increases storage time in the event of a power cut or breakdown.

1. Fill the tray with water.

2. Put the tray in the freezer

compartment CAUTION! Do not use metallic instruments to remove the tray from the freezer.

5.1 Normal operating sounds

The following sounds are normal during operation:

• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils sound when refrigerant is pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant is pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not dangerous physical phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the compressor switches on or off.

5.2 Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If foreseen, do not remove the cold accumulators from the freezer basket.

5.3 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 hours is shown on the rating plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours no further food to be frozen should be added during this period;
• freeze only 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.

5.4 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 retailer;
• 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. ENGLISH
