Use & Care guide
HOW TO DEFROST THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
1.
It is advisable to set the temperature colder or turn on the
Fast Freeze four hours before removing the food from the
freezer compartment, to prolong the preservation of the
food during the defrosting phase .
2.
To defrost, turn the appliance off and remove the
drawers . Put the frozen food in a cool place . Leave the
door open to allow the frost to melt . To prevent the water
from escaping during the defrost, it is advised that you
place an absorbent cloth on the bottom of the freezer
compartment and wring it out regularly .
3.
Clean the inside of the freezer compartment and dry it
carefully .
4. Turn the appliance back on and put the food back inside .
FUNCTIONAL SOUNDS
1. A buzz generated by the compressor is normal while the
product is working .
2.
Gurgling and crackles are generated by the passage of
the refrigerant gas inside the cooling circuit, therefore
these are normal noises .
3. It’s possibile to "hear" creaks when the compressor is
active and inactive: it is a normal sound of the product’s
structure .
4. Check that the balconies on the inside of the refrigerator
door, the shelves and the drawers in the refrigerator
compartment are attached and positioned properly, to
avoid possible vibrations .
5.
Don’t place glass containers (bottles, jars, etc .) in direct
contact with each other, to avoid vibrations .
6. This device is equipped with a compressor that operates
at an optimum speed to minimize energy consumption .
So it may happen that in certain situations (in summer
or if large quantities of food are introduced) that the
compressor increases the speed and therefore it is more
noisy than usual .
RECOMMENDATION IN CASE OF NO USE OF THE APPLIANCE
IN THE EVENT OF NON-USE OF THE APPLICANCE
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply, empty it,
defrost it (if necessary) and clean it .
Keep the doors slightly ajar to let air circulate inside the
compartments . By doing this, you avoid the development of
mould and bad odours .
IN THE EVENT OF AN INTERRUPTION TO THE
POWER SUPPLY
Keep the doors closed so the food stays cold for as long as
possible . Do not re-freeze food that has partially defrosted . If
there is a prolonged power cut, the black out alarm may also
activate (in products with electronics) .

power supply.

To ensure the constant and correct flow of the defrosting
water, regularly clean the inside of the
drain situated in the back wall of the
refrigerator compartment near the fruit
and vegetable drawer using the utensil
provided .
