4.1 Storage of frozen food

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. The freezer drawers ensure that it is quick and easy to find the food package you want. If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers except for the bottom drawer which needs to be in place to provide good air circulation. On all shelves it is possible to place food that protrude until 15 mm from the door.

WARNING!

In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer that 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).

4.2 Freezing fresh food

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

5. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

5.1 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 brand-new product, then dried thoroughly.

CAUTION!

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

To freeze small amount of fresh food it is not necessary to change the present setting.

To freeze fresh food activate the FROSTMATIC function at least 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.

Place the food to be frozen in the two top compartments.

The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate.

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

When the freezing process is complete, return to the required temperature (see "FROSTMATIC Function").

4.3 Cold accumulators

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

5.2 Periodic cleaning

CAUTION!

Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.

CAUTION!

Take care of not to damage the cooling system.

CAUTION!

When moving the cabinet, lift it by the front edge to avoid scratching the floor.

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

1. Clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.

2. Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.

3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

4. If accessible, clean the condenser and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption.

5.3 Defrosting of the freezer

frost when it is in operation, neither on the internal walls, nor on the foods.

5.4 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.

2. Remove all food.

3. Clean the appliance and all accessories.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

6.1 What to do if...

Problem Possible cause Solution
The appliance is noisy. The appliance is not supported properly.		Check if the appliance stands stable.
The compressor operates continually.	Temperature is set incorrectly.	Refer to "Operation"/"Control panel" chapter.
Many food products were put in at the same time.		Wait a few hours and then check the temperature again.
The room temperature is too high.		Refer to climate class chart on the rating plate.
Food products placed in the appliance were too warm.		Allow food products to cool to room temperature before storing.
	The FROSTMATIC function is switched on.	Refer to "FROSTMATIC function".
The compressor does not start immediately after pressing the FROSTMATIC or after changing the temperature.	This is normal, no error has occurred.	The compressor starts after some time.
Water flows on the floor. The melting water outlet is not connected to the evaporative tray above the compressor.		Attach the melting water outlet to the evaporative tray.
Temperature cannot be set.	The FROSTMATIC or COOLMATIC function is switched on.	Switch off FROSTMATIC or COOLMATIC manually, or wait until the function resets automatically to set the temperature. Refer to "FROSTMATIC or COOLMATIC function".
The temperature in the appliance is too low/too high.	The temperature regulator is not set correctly.	Set a higher/lower temperature.
	The food products temperature is too high.	Let the food products temperature decrease to room temperature before storage.
	The FROSTMATIC function is switched on.	Refer to "FROSTMATIC function".
Side panels of the appliance are warm.	This is a normal state caused by operation of the heat exchanger.	Make sure that there is at least 30 mm of space between each side of the appliance and the surrounding furniture when the ambient temperature exceeds 38°C.
Door does not open easily.	You attempted to re-open the door immediately after closing.	Wait a few seconds between closing and re-opening of the door.

If the advice does not lead to the desired result, contact the nearest Authorised Service Centre.
