ENERGY SAVING TIPS

To guarantee adequate ventilation follow installation instructions. Insufficient ventilation on back of the product increases energy consumption and decreases cooling efficiency.

Frequent door opening might cause an increase in Energy consumption.

The internal temperature of the appliance and the Energy Consumption may be affected also by the ambient temperature, as well as location of the appliance. Temperature setting should take into consideration these factors.

Reduce to a minimum door opening.

When thawing frozen food, place them in the refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen products cools the food in the refrigerator. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.

Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has no impact on the efficient usage of energy. Food should be placed on the shelves in such way to ensure proper air circulation (food should not touch each other and distance between food and rear wall should be kept).

You can increase storage capacity of frozen food by removing baskets and, if present, Stop Frost shelve, maintaining an equivalent energy consumption.

Do not worry of the noise coming from the compressor.

Note: Displayed set points correspond to the average temperature throughout the whole refrigerator.

NO-FROST REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

Refrigerator compartment defrosting is completely automatic. Droplets of water on the rear wall inside the refrigerator

compartment indicate that the automatic defrost phase is in progress.

NO-FROST FREEZER COMPARTMENT

No Frost freezers provide chilled air circulation around the storage areas, and prevent the formation of ice, thereby completely eliminating the need for defrosting.

Frozen items don't stick to the walls, labeling stays legible and storage space remains neat and clear.

AIR FAN

It is recommended to activate Fridge AIR by turning ON bottom in high ambient temperature, over 30°C. After Air enable temperature in fridge compartment will drop, it can be necessary to regulate temperature on display.

It is recommended to turn OFF AIR when ambient temperature turn back to temperature below 30^ C, and regulate product to reache required temperatures. Do not block the air inlet with foods.

FLEXI USE BOX CONTAINER

This is the new box which offers maximum flexibility in order to stock your food in an excellent way.

If you put in the low section of your fridge compartment, on the crisper box, it becomes CHILLER, and it guarantees a temperature very close to 0^ C, which is ideal to:

• store meat, fish and delicate food;
- rapid cooling of hot foods;
- low temperature defrosting (it inhibits the proliferation of microorganisms).

You can get the 0^ C temperature, in standard conditions, when the fridge compartment temperature is at about 4^ C.

By decreasing the fridge temperature you decrease the CHILLER compartment temperature too. If you put it in the "upper" part of the fridge compartment (A1), it will be suitable to store fruit and vegetables, thus giving you the possibility to have a second crisper box.

SHELVES

All shelves, flaps and pull-out baskets are removable.

HOW TO USE THE APPLIANCE

FIRST TIME USE

Before connecting the appliance, clean the compartments and accessories well with lukewarm water and bicarbonate. After plugging the appliance to the mains, it starts the operation automatically. After starting the appliance, wait at least 4-6 hours before

FRIDGE COMPARTMENT

The refrigerator is the ideal storage location for ready meals, fresh and preserved food, dairy products, fruit and vegetables and beverage.

AIR VENTILATION

The natural circulation of air in the refrigerator compartment

placing food into the appliance.

When the appliance is connected to the power supply, the display lights up and all the icons appear on the display for approximately 1 second. The default (factory) values of the fridge compartment settings light-up.

results in zones with different temperatures. It is coldest directly above the fruits and vegetables crisper and at the rear wall. It is warmest at the top front of the compartment. Insufficient ventilation results in an increase in energy consumption and reduction of the refrigerating performance. Do not cover air slots by food on other staff - they are optimized for proper air circulation and food preservation.

HOW TO STORE FRESH FOOD AND BEVERAGE

Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminum and glass containers and cling film to wrap foods.

• Always use closed containers for liquids and for food that may give off or be tainted by odor or flavor transfer or cover them.
- Foods which give off a large amount ethylene gas and those that are sensitive to this gas, such as fruit, vegetables and salad, should always be separated or wrapped so as not to reduce the storage life; for example do not store tomatoes together with kiwi fruits or

cabbage.

• Do not store food too close together to enable sufficient air circulation.
• To avoid bottles falling over, you can use the bottle holder.
• If you have a little quantity of food to store in the refrigerator, we recommend to use the shelves above the crisper for fruits and vegetables since this is the coolest area of the compartment.

WHERE TO STORE FRESH FOOD AND BEVERAGE

• On the fridge shelves: ready meals, tropical fruits, cheeses, deli.
• In the coldest area (the one above the fruits and vegetables crisper): meat, fish, cold cuts, cakes.

NORMAL FREEZER DRAWERS

HOW TO INCREASE FREEZER STORAGE CAPACITY

• removing the baskets to allow the storage of big products.
• placing the food products directly on the freezer shelves.
• removing additional removable accessories.

• Do not block the air out area (on the back wall and on the bottom inside the product) with food products.

• All shelves and pull-out baskets are removable.

• The internal temperatures of the appliance may be affected by the ambient temperature, frequency of door opening, as well as location of the appliance.

Temperature setting should take into consideration these factors.

REMOVING THE FREEZER DRAWER CONTAINER

• Open the freezer door
• Pull the upper container upwards by the right and left corners (1)
• Remove the drawer (2)

Diagram showing two views of a refrigerator with labeled parts and directional arrows indicating movement or change.

• Install the upper container in the reverse order

TIPS FOR FREEZING AND STORING FRESH FOOD

• We recommend to label and date all your frozen food. Adding a label will help you to identify foods and to know when they should be used before their quality deteriorates. Do not re-freeze defrosted food.
- Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for freezing fresh food.
- Food must be fresh, mature and of prime quality in order to obtain high quality frozen food.

• Fresh vegetables and fruit should preferably be frozen as soon as they are picked to maintain the full original nutritional value, consistency, colour and flavor. Some meat, especially game, should be hung before it is frozen.
  • Always leave hot food to cool before placing in the freezer.
• Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately. Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has thawed. Once cooked, the thawed food can be refrozen.
• Do not freeze bottles with liquid.

FROZEN FOOD: SHOPPING TIPS

When purchasing frozen food products:

• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored under optimal conditions and defrosting may have already begun.

• When shopping, buy frozen foods at the end of your trip and transport them in a thermally insulated cool bag.

• Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer.

• If food has defrosted even partially, do not refreeze it. Consume within 24 hours.
• Avoid or reduce temperature variations to the minimum. Respect the best-before date on the package.
  • Always observe the storage information on the package.
