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

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

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

5.4 DYNAMICAIR The refrigerator 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.

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

5.5 Freezing and storage of frozen food

The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.

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 with the Frostmatic function turned on.

To freeze fresh food place it in the top compartment.

The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate, a label located on the inside of the appliance

The freezing process lasts 24 hours, during this period do not add other food to be frozen.

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 re- frozen (after cooling).

6.1 Normal operating sounds

The following sounds are normal during operation:

+_A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils sound when refrigerant is pumped

+ Awhirring 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.

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.

5.7 Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice- cubes.

Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.

1. Fillthese trays with water 2. Putthe ice trays in the freezer compartment

5.8 Cold accumulators

The freezer contains at least one cold accumulator which increases storage time in the event of a power cut or breakdown.

6.2 Hints for energy saving

+ Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.

+ Do not remove the cold accumulators from the freezer basket.

6.3 Hints for fresh food refrigeration

Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator. + Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour. + Position food so that air can circulate freely around it.

6.4 Hints for refrigeration Useful hints:

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. Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and place on any shelf.

Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly and place in a special drawer. Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic must not be kept in the refrigerator if not packed.

Butter and cheese: place in a special airtight container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible Bottles: close with a cap and place on the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack.

6.5 Hints for freezing

Freeze only top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned food products For more efficient freezing and thawing divide food into small portions.

Wrap the food in aluminium foil or polythene. Make sure that the packages are airtight

7. CARE AND CLEANING WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.

7.1 General warnings

D CAUTION! Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit, maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.

+ To avoid increase in temperature of already frozen food, do not place fresh unfrozen food directly next to it.

+ Lean food store better and longer than fatty ones. Salt reduces the storage life of food

+ Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.

+_Itis advisable to show the freezing date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time.

6.6 Hints for storage of frozen food

+ Make sure that the commercially frozen food products were adequately stored by the retailer.

+ Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to the freezer in the shortest possible time.

+ Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen

+_ Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.

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

7.2 Periodic cleaning

CAUTION! Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the appliance

CAUTION! Do not damage the cooling system.

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

p 2. Regularl check the door seals and wipe them clean to ensure they are

clean and free from deboris. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

the appliance with a brush

This will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity

7.3 Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the

evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor

compressor stops, 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.

If accessible, clean the condenser and the compressor at the back of

8. TROUBLESHOOTING WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.

7.4 Defrosting of the freezer

The freezer compartment is frost free This means that there is no build up of frost when it is in operation, neither on the internal walls, nor on the foods.

7.5 Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:

1. Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.
