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 higher settings.
WARNING!
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).
4.6
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
available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen, directly from the freezer: in this
case, cooking will take longer.
4.7
DYNAMICAIR
The refrigerator compartment is
equipped with a device that allows rapid
cooling of food and keeps a more
uniform temperature in the
compartment.
This device activates automatically when
needed, for example for a quick
temperature recovery after door opening
or when the ambient temperature is
high.
It is possible to switch on the
device manually when
needed (refer to
"DYNAMICAIR function").
The DYNAMICAIR device
stops when the door is open
and restarts immediately
after the door closing.

more trays for the production of ice-
cubes.
Do not use metallic
instruments to remove the

HINTS AND TIPS
5.1
Normal operating sounds
The following sounds are normal during
operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound
from coils sound when refrigerant is
pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from
the compressor when refrigerant is
pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside
appliance caused by thermic
dilatation (a natural and not
dangerous physical phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the
temperature regulator when the
compressor switches on or off.
