First use

Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.

Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.

Check that the drain hose at the rear of the cabinet discharges into the drip tray.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical device with no visible text or symbols

Daily use

Use of the fridge compartment

The temperature of this compartment may be regulated between +3°C and +8°C. During normal functioning the indicator shows the set temperature inside the fridge.

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

The exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the appliance depends on:

• room temperature
  • how often the door is opened
  • the quantity of food stored
  • the location of the appliance.

If the ambient temperature is high or the appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is set to the lowest temperatures, it may run continuously causing frost to form on the rear wall. In this case the Temperature regulator must be set to a warmer temperature to allow automatic defrosting and therefore reduced energy consumption.

Use of the freezer compartment

The symbol ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ means that the freezer is suitable for freezing fresh food and for long term storage. The temperature may be regulated between -15°C and -24°C. We suggest setting the temperature to -18°C, which is optimal for energy consumption and frozen food storage.

Difference between setting temperature and actual temperature is normal.

Especially when:

• a new setting has recently been selected
• the door has been open for a long time
• warm food has been placed in the compartment.

Difference until 5^irc C inside the compartment are quite normal.

During operation the temperature indicator shows setting value.

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.

The freezer baskets 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 basket which needs to be in place to provide good air circulation. On all shelves except for the top shelf it is possible to place food that protrude until load limit stated on the side of the middle section

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 refrozen (after cooling).

Thawing

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.

Clean Air Control Filter

Your appliance is equipped with a carbon filter behind the air lever flap.

The filter purifies the air from unwanted odours in the fridge compartment preserving food quality.

On delivery the filter is in a plastic bag. Refer to "Installation of the Clean Air Control filter" for instructions.

Make sure that the air lever flap is closed to obtain proper function.

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.

Some shelves must be lifted up by the rear edge to enable them to be removed.

Do not move the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer to ensure correct air circulation.

Vegetable Drawer

The drawer is suitable for storing fruit and vegetables.

Some models have a separator inside the drawer that can be placed in different positions to allow for the subdivision best suited to personal needs.

All parts inside the drawer can be removed for cleaning purposes.

The Natura fresh zone

The temperature in the Natura fresh zone is constantly just above 0°C. Adjustment by the user is not necessary.

The Natura fresh zone contains two drawers.

The lower drawer with a higher humidity of the air, is suited for keeping berries, fruits and vegetables.

The upper drawer is suited for meat, fish and poultry.

Foodstuffs not suitable to keep in the Natura fresh zone:

• Cold sensitive fruits like bananas, papaya, passion fruits, avocado and citrus fruits.
• Cold sensitive vegetables like pimiento, cucumber courgette, aubergine potatoes and tomatoes. Fruit and vegetables not yet mellow like pears.

Pack all foodstuffs before keeping in the Natura fresh zone. In this way aroma, moisture and colour is kept for a longer time.

Suitable packing materials:

• Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps
- Plastic containers with lids
- Aluminium foil

Line drawing of a server rack with multiple binders and a mesh grille (no text or symbols)

Regulation of air humidity

The two drawers are fitted with adjustable air slots. The opening of the air slots can be adjusted with sliders, to regulate the humidity inside the drawers.

• With the air slots open, the stronger air circulation results in a lower air moisture in the drawer.
• A closed air slots keeps the natural air moisture for longer.

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be placed at different heights.

Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free, then reposition as required.

Do not move the lower door shelf to ensure correct air circulation.

Helpful hints and tips

Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the Temperature Regulator is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, set the Temperature Regulator toward warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

• do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate freely around it

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:

Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.

For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.

Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf. Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.

Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.

Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Hints for temperature inside the fridge

A suitable temperature inside the fridge is approx. +5°C. When the temperature regulator is set to +5°C this represents the mean temperature in the fridge. It is normal with higher temperature in the top of the fridge. It is also normal with lower temperature in the lower part.

If the temperature regulator is set to a cold temperature, the ambient temperature is high or if the fridge is fully loaded the compressor will run for a longer time. It too cold, change to a higher temperature setting.

Do not place food against or close to the temperature sensor. This can result in too cold temperatures.

Line drawing of a cabinet or shelf structure with horizontal shelves and metal brackets (no text or symbols)

If you want to check the temperature of food stored in the refrigerator, place a glass of water centrally in the cabinet, and put a proper thermometer with an accuracy of +/- 1^irc C into it. After 6 hours the temperature can be monitored. The measuring shall be performed under steady-stated conditions (without changing the load).

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

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.

Care and cleaning

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.

Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.

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

Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance and save energy consumption.

Take care of not to damage the cooling system.

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

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this appliance. For this reason use a soft cloth rinsed in warm water and neutral soap emulsion for cleaning external surfaces.

Defrosting 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 drain hole 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 to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside. It is located behind the Natura fresh drawers in the refrigerator compartment.

Illustration of a hand holding a tool inside a circular arrow, with no text or symbols present.

Defrosting of the freezer

The freezer compartment of this model, on the other hand, is a "no frost" type. This means that there is no buildup of frost when it is in operation, neither on the internal walls nor on the foods.

The absence of frost is due to the continuous circulation of cold air inside the compartment, driven by an automatically controlled fan.

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
4. leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant smells.

If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
