Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be
thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room temper-
ature, 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.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigera-
tor are equipped with a
series of runners so that
the shelves can be posi-
tioned as desired.
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.
Removal of freezing baskets from the freezer
The freezing baskets have a limit stop to prevent their ac-
cidental removal or falling out. At the time of its removal
from the freezer, pull the basket towards yourself and,
upon reaching the end point, remove the basket by tilting
its front upwards.
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift the front of the
basket to insert it into the freezer. Once you are over the
end points, push the baskets back in their position.
Helpful hints and tips
Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear a faint gurgling and a bubbling sound
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or
tubing. This is correct.
• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being
pumped around and you will hear a whirring sound
and a pulsating noise from the compressor. This is
correct.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden cracking
noise. It is natural, not dangerous physical phenomen-
on. This is correct.
• When the compressor switches on or switches off, you
will hear a faint "click" of the temperature regulator.
This is correct.
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 elec-
tricity consumption.
