Temperature regulation
The temperature is automatically regulated.
To operate the appliance, proceed as follows:
• turn the Temperature regulator toward lower
settings to obtain the minimum coldness.
• turn the Temperature regulator toward higher
settings to obtain the maximum coldness.
A medium setting is generally the most suit-
able.
However, 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.
Important! 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 dial must be set to a higher
temperature to allow automatic defrosting and
therefore reduced energy consumption.
FIRST USE
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, wash
the interior and all internal accessories with luke-
warm water and some neutral soap so as to re-
move the typical smell of a brand-new product,
then dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the finish.
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 foods it is not necessary to
change the medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation, turn the
temperature regulator toward higher settings to
obtain the maximum coldness.
Important! In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might drop below
0°C. If this occurs reset the temperature
regulator to a warmer setting.
Place the fresh food to be frozen on the top com-
partment.
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 high-
er settings.
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, depending on the time avail-
able for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, di-
rectly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will
take longer.
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 whir-
ring sound and a pulsating noise from the com-
pressor. This is correct.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden
cracking noise. It is natural, not dangerous phys-
ical phenomenon. This is correct.
• When the compressor switches on or switches
off, you will hear a faint "click" of the tempera-
ture regulator. This is correct.
