FIRST USE
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time,
wash the interior and all internal accesso-
ries with lukewarm water and some neutral
soap so as to remove the typical smell of a
brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.
DAILY USE
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the Fast
Freeze function at least 24 hours before
placing the food to be frozen in the freezer
compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen on the
shelf of the freezer, as this is the coldest
point.
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 fro-
zen.
After 24 hours, when the freezing process
is completed, return to the required temper-
ature (see "Temperature regulation").
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 on the higher settings.
1. Press the Mode button until the Child
Lock indicator flashes.
2. Press the OK button to confirm.
3. The Child Lock indicator goes off.
Door open alarm
An acoustic alarm will sound if the door is
left open for a few minutes. The door open
alarm conditions are indicated by:
• flashing Alarm indicator
• acoustic buzzer
When normal conditions are restored (door
closed), the alarm will stop.
During the alarm, the buzzer can be switch-
ed off by pressing any button.
Important! Do not use detergents or abra-
sive powders, as these will damage the fin-
ish.
Important! 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).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator
compartment or at room temperature, de-
pending on the time available for this opera-
tion.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-
zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.
For better use of space, the front half-
shelves can lie over the rear ones.
