with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand-
new product, then dry thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
10
Daily use
Check that the drain hose at the rear of the cabi-
net discharges into the drip tray.
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 small amount of fresh foods it is not necessary to change the present setting.
To freeze fresh food activate the FROSTMATIC function at least 24 hours before placing the
food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in all compartments except the bottom drawer.
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 frozen.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the com-
partment let the appliance run at least 2 hours.
The freezer baskets ensure that it is quick and easy to find the food package you want. If
large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers except for the bottom basket
which needs to be in place to provide good air circulation. On all shelves except for the top
shelf it is possible to place food that protrude 15 mm from the door.
In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has
been off for longer that 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 compart-
ment or at room temperature, 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.
Helpful hints and tips
11
Removal of freezing baskets from the freezer
The freezing baskets have a limit stop to prevent
their accidental removal or falling out. At the time
of its removal from the freezer, pull the basket to-
wards 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 bas-
kets back in their position.

Cold accumulators
One or more cold accumulators are supplied in the freezer; these increase the length of
time for which food will keep in the event of a power failure or breakdown.
HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating
plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during
this period;
• only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
• prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to
make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are
airtight;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a
rise in temperature of the latter;
• lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;
• water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can
possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep
tab of the storage time.
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:
12
Care and cleaning
• make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retail-
er;
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the freezer in the
shortest possible time;
• not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from
debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes
to clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance and save energy con-
sumption.
Take care of not to damage the cooling system.
When moving the cabinet, lift it by the front edge to avoid scratching the floor.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the
plastics used in this appliance. For this reason use a soft cloth rinsed in warm water and
neutral soap emulsion for cleaning external surfaces.
Do not use detergents or abrasive paste as these will damage the paint, or stainless steel
anti finger print coating.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply.
Cleaning the ventilation grille
The ventilation grille can be removed for washing.
What to do if…
13
Make sure the door is open and then:
1. Loosen the upper edge of the grille by
pulling outward/downward.
2. Pull the grille straight out to completely
remove it.
3. Vacuum clean under the cabinet.
Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment of this model, on the other hand, is a "no frost" type. This means
that there is no buildup of frost when it is in operation, neither on the internal walls nor on
the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continuous circulation of cold air inside the compart-
ment, driven by an automatically controlled fan.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:
1. disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
2. remove all food
3. clean the appliance and all accessories
4. leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food
inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
WHAT TO DO IF…
During operation of the appliance some smaller but annoying trouble can often occur,
which does not require calling a technician out. In the following chart information is given
about them to avoid unnecessary charges on service.
The operation of the appliance goes with certain sounds (compressor and circulating
sound). This not means a trouble, but a normal operation.
The appliance operates discontinuously, so the stopping of compressor does not mean be-
ing no current. That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the appliance before
breaking the circuit.
