The set temperature will be reached
within 24 hours. After a power failure the
set temperature remains stored.
FastFreeze function
The FastFreeze function is used to perform pre-freezing
and fast freezing in sequence in the freezer
compartment. This function accelerates the freezing of
fresh food and, at the same time, protects food products
already stored in the freezer compartment from
undesirable warming.
To freeze fresh food activate the
FastFreeze function at least 24 hours
before placing the food to complete pre-
freezing.
To activate FastFreeze function press the FastFreeze
button (7) for 3 seconds. The FastFreeze indicator
switches on.
This function stops automatically after 52
hours.
It is possible to deactivate the function at any time by
pressing FastFreeze button (7) for 3 seconds again.
The FastFreeze indicator switches off.
Door open alarm
If the fridge door is left open for approximately 5
minutes, the fridge compartment indicator flashes and
the sound is on.
During the alarm the sound can be muted by pressing
any button. The sound switches off automatically after
around one hour to avoid disturbing.
The alarm deactivates after closing the door.
Daily use
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.
8
This model is equipped with a variable storage box
which can be moved sideways.
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.
Vegetable drawer
There is a special drawer in the bottom part of the
appliance suitable for storage of fruits and vegetables.
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 food activate the FastFreeze function at
least 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in
the freezer compartment.
Store the fresh food evenly distributed in the bottom part
of the freezer compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen
without adding other fresh food during 24 hours is
specified on the rating plate (a label located inside the
appliance).
Storage of frozen food
When activating an appliance for the first time or after a
period out of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least 3 hours with
the FastFreeze function switched on.
Keep the food no closer than 15 mm from the door.
Caution! 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 on rating
plate under "rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately then cooled and
then re-frozen.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being consumed,
can be thawed in the refrigerator or inside a plastic bag
under cold water.
This operation depends on the time available and on the
type of food. Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for
the production of ice-cubes.
Do not use metallic instruments to
remove the trays from the freezer.
1. Fill these trays with water.
2. Put the ice trays in the freezer compartment.

Hints and tips
Hints for energy saving
• Freezer: The internal configuration of the appliance
is the one that ensures the most efficient use of
energy.
• Fridge: Most efficient use of energy is ensured in the
configuration with the drawers in the bottom part of
the appliance and shelves evenly distributed.
Position of the door bins does not affect energy
consumption.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open
longer than necessary.
• Freezer: The colder the temperature setting, the
higher the energy consumption.
• Fridge: Do not set too high temperature to save
energy unless it is required by the characteristics of
the food.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the
temperature control is set to low temperature and
the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may
run continuously, causing frost or ice formation on
the evaporator. In this case, set the temperature
control toward higher temperature to allow
automatic defrosting and to save energy this way.
• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover the
ventilation grilles or holes.
Hints for freezing
• Activate FastFreeze function at least 24 hours
before placing the food inside the freezer
compartment.
• Before freezing wrap and seal fresh food in:
aluminium foil, plastic film or bags, airtight
containers with lid.
• For more efficient freezing and thawing divide food
into small portions.
• It is recommended to put labels and dates on all
your frozen food. This will help to identify foods and
to know when they should be used before their
deterioration.
• The food should be fresh when being frozen to
preserve good quality. Especially fruits and
vegetables should be frozen after the harvest to
preserve all of their nutrients.
• Do not freeze bottles or cans with liquids, in
particular drinks containing carbon dioxide - they
may explode during freezing.
• Do not put hot food in the freezer compartment.
Cool it down at room temperature before placing it
inside the compartment.
• To avoid increase in temperature of already frozen
food, do not place fresh unfrozen food directly next
to it. Place food at room temperature in the part of
the freezer compartment where there is no frozen
food.
• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies
immediately after taking them out of the freezer.
Risk of frostbites.
• Do not re-freeze defrosted food. If the food has
defrosted, cook it, cool it down and then freeze it.
Hints for storage of frozen food
• Freezer compartment is the one marked with
.
• Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may
lead to shorter shelf life.
• The whole freezer compartment is suitable for
storage of frozen food products.
• Leave enough space around the food to allow air to
circulate freely.
• For adequate storage refer to food packaging label
to see the shelf life of food.
• It is important to wrap the food in such a way that
prevents water, humidity or condensation from
getting inside.
Shopping tips
After grocery shopping:
• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged - the food
could be deteriorated. If the package is swollen or
wet, it might have not been stored in the optimal
conditions and defrosting may have already started.
• To limit the defrosting process buy frozen goods at
the end of your grocery shopping and transport
them in a thermal and insulated cool bag.
• Place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer
after coming back from the shop.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze
it. Consume it as soon as possible.
• Respect the expiry date and the storage information
on the package.
