Refrigerator zone

Fruit / Vegetables

- To decrease fruit and vegetable moisture losses they must be wrapped in plastic materials such as, for example, films or bags and then inserted in the fruit/vegetable zone. In this way rapid deterioration is avoided.

Refrigerated section fresh zone

(not all models)

The zone shown below is recommended for meat, fish, poultry, etc.; do not store fruit and vegetables because they can freeze;

Indicator of the temperature in the coldest zone

(not all models)

Some models are equipped with an indicator of the temperature in the refrigerator compartment in the coldest zone, for you to be able to control the average temperature.

This symbol indicates the coldest zone of the refrigerator (Fig. 4).

Fig. 4

Check that on the temperature indicator, the word OK is clearly shown (Fig. 5). If the word does not appear, this means that the temperature is too high: adjust the temperature to a cooler setting and wait for about 10 hours.

Recheck the indicator: if necessary, proceed with a new adjustment.

Fig. 5

NOTE:

If large quantities of food are inserted or the refrigerator door is frequently opened, it is normal for the indicator to fail to show OK. Wait for at least 10 hours before setting the temperature at its coldest levels (3,4).

Freezer zone

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.
• In 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:

The temperature doesn't usually need to be adjusted. Only in case you find excessive cooling of the products contained in the refrigerator compartment, gently set the warmest temperature levels (1,2). On completion of freezing, set the warmest temperature levels (1,2).

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. 6) clean in the refrigerator compartment to keep it free of water.

The rating plate states the maximum quantity of foods that can be frozen (see Figure 6).

(Figure 6)

Defrosting of the fridge compartment occurs automatically in this product.

A small amount of frost or drops of water on the back of the fridge 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 freezer compartment.

We recommend you defrost the freezer area when the layer of frost is more than 3 mm thick.

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.

Important: if your ambient temperature is high, the appliance may operate continuously, thus building up excessive frost on the inner wall of the fridge. Set the warmest temperature levels (1,2).

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

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) Press the ON/OFF button (3) for 1 second. 2) Disconnect the power cord. 3) Remove the frozen food and temporarily place it in a cool place. 4) Leave the freezer door open to speed up defrosting. 5) Collect the water at the bottom of the product. 6) Dry the freezer. 7) Reconnect the power cord and set the desired values. 8) Wait a moment and then put the frozen food back in.

WARNING:

Absolutely avoid using 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. These can damage the refrigerant circuit, and a leak can cause a fire or damage your eyes.

The product is equipped with LED lights. Please contact the Technical Assistance Service for replacement.

Compared to traditional light bulbs, LEDs last longer and are environmentally friendly.

Cleaning

NOTICE:

- Before each operation, unplug the refrigerator from the power socket to prevent electric shocks.

- Do not pour water directly on the outside or inside of the refrigerator itself. This could lead to oxidation and damaging of the electrical insulation.

IMPORTANT:

To prevent cracking of the inside surfaces and plastic parts, follow these suggestions:

• Wipe away any food oils adhered to plastic components.
• The internal parts, gaskets and external parts can be cleaned with a cloth with warm water and baking soda or a neutral soap. Do not use solvents, ammonia, bleach or abrasives.
• Remove the accessories, for example, the shelves, from the refrigerator and from the door. Wash in hot soapy water. Rinse and thoroughly dry.
• The back of the appliance tends to accumulate dust which can be eliminated with the use of a vacuum cleaner, after having switched off and disconnected the appliance from the electrical outlet. This provides greater energy efficiency.

ENERGY SAVINGS

For better energy savings, we suggest:

• Installing the appliance away from heat sources and not exposed to direct sunlight and in a well ventilated room.
• Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator to avoid increasing the internal temperature and therefore causing continuous functioning of the compressor.
• Do not excessively stuff foods so as to ensure proper air circulation.
• Defrost the appliance in case there is ice (see DEFROSTING) to facilitate the transfer of cold.
• In case of absence of electrical energy, it is advisable to keep the refrigerator door closed.
• Open or keep the doors of the appliance open as little as possible
• Avoid adjusting the thermostat to temperatures too cold.
• Remove dust present on the rear of the appliance (see CLEANING).

AVOIDING NOISES

During its operation, the refrigerator emits some absolutely normal noises, such as:

• HUMMING, the compressor is running. - RUMBLINGS, RUSTLINGS and HISSING, the refrigerant is flowing through the tubes. - TICKS and CLICKS, the operation shutdown of the compressor. Small measures to reduce the vibration noises: - Containers touch each other: Avoid contact between containers and glass recipients. - Drawers, shelves, bins vibrate: Check the proper installation of internal accessories.

NOTE:

The refrigerant gas produces noise even when the compressor is off; it is not a defect, it is normal. If you hear a clicking sound inside the appliance, it is normal as due to expansion of the various materials.

REVERSIBILITY OF THE DOOR

Attach the slide to the inside of the cabinet door at the desired height. Make sure that the bracket is approximately 20 mm from the outer edge of the door!

Open the cabinet door and the refrigerator door. Place the slide bracket onto the slide and attach it to the refrigerator door.

Mark the positions of the holes and drill them with a 2.5 mm diameter drill bit.

Assemble both doors; use the grooves on the slide brackets as a guide.

FOR TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION OF THE REFRIGERATOR

When you place the refrigerator in its proper location, push it against the wall to prevent access to the compressor.

There must be enough space between the cabinet and the ceiling; the cabinet must not reach the ceiling.

- It's suggested to set the temperature at 4°C in the fridge compartment, and, if possible, at -18°C in the freezer compartment.

- For most food categories, the longest storage time in the fridge compartment is achieved with colder temperatures. Since some particular products (such as fresh fruits and vegetables) may be damaged by colder temperatures, it is suggested to keep them in the crisper drawers, whenever present. If not present, maintain an average setting of the thermostat.

- For frozen food, refer to the storage time written on the food packaging. This storage time is achieved whenever the setting respects the reference temperatures of the compartment (one-star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars -18°C).
