Freezing fresh food
Place the fresh food to be frozen inside the freezer
compartment. Avoid direct contact with already
frozen food. To freeze the quantity of food shown
on the serial tag, remove the top drawer and place
the food directly on the rack.
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. The defrost
water is automatically run into a drain hole and
collected in a container, where it evaporates.
Fan (if provided)
The fan operates automatically. The fan ensures a
more consistent distribution of the temperature inside
the refrigerator compartment, with better
preservation of food and reduction of excess
humidity. Do not obstruct the suction zone with food.
The fan is only active when the motor is in operation.
Caution!
The refrigerator accessories must not
be placed in a dishwasher.
Freezer compartment
This appliance is a refrigerator with a
<
star
rating freezer compartment. Packed frozen foods
can be stored for the period indicated on the
packing. Fresh food can also be frozen, ensuring
that any contact with already frozen food is
avoided. The quantity of fresh food that can be
frozen in a 24 hour period is given on the rating
plate. Re-freezing of partially defrosted food is not
recommended. This food should be consumed
within 24 hours. For further information on freezing
fresh food, refer to the quick guide.
Removing the baskets (depending on the model)
Pull the drawers out as far as they go, then lift
slightly and remove.
Note:
The freezer can also be used without the
upper drawers, in order to maximise space. For
correct operation of the freezer compartment the
bottom drawer should not be removed. Ensure that
after placing the food on the racks, the freezer door
closes properly.
Making ice cubes (if provided)
Fill the ice cube tray up to 2/3 with water and
place in the freezer compartment. Do not use sharp
or pointed objects to detach the tray.
Operation of the refrigerator and freezer
compartment
• If the refrigerator compartment of your appliance
is fitted with a thermostat box the temperature of
both compartments is adjusted using the
thermostat knob as shown in figure 1. Move the
knob to the position to switch the whole
appliance off.
• If in addition to the internal thermostat box your
appliance also has an external control panel with
an adjustment knob, the temperatures of the two
compartments must be adjusted separately. The
knob of the thermostat inside the refrigerator
compartment is used for adjusting the
temperature of the refrigerator compartment only
(see fig. 1), while the external panel is used to
adjust the temperature of the freezer
compartment.
The refrigerator and the freezer compartments can
be switched off separately by moving the
corresponding knobs to .
Note:
The ambient temperature, frequency of door
opening and position of the appliance can affect
the temperatures inside the two compartments.
These factors must be taken into consideration
when setting the thermostat.
