Daily use
Warning! Refer to Safety chapters.
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time, the interior
and all internal accessories should be washed with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap to remove the
typical smell of a brand-new product, then dried
thoroughly.
Caution! Do not use detergents,
abrasive powders, chlorine or oil-based
cleaners as they will damage the finish.
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the
door shelves can be placed at different heights.
1. Gradually pull the shelf up until it comes free.
2. Reposition as required.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series
of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as
desired.
Do not move the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer to ensure correct air
circulation.
Freezing and storage of frozen food
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh
food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long
time.
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.
To freeze fresh food place it in the top compartment.
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.
When the freezing process is completed, you can
restore previously set temperature.
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 available for this
operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly
from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.
