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 middle
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.

for the production of ice-cubes.
