DAILY USE
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Before using the appliance for the first time,
wash the interior and all internal accesso-
ries 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.
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 foods it is not necessary to
change the medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing operation,
turn the temperature regulator toward high-
er settings to obtain the maximum cold-
ness.
In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might
drop below 0°C. If this occurs reset
the temperature regulator to a
warmer setting.
Place the fresh food to be frozen on the
top compartment.
STORAGE OF FROZEN FOOD
When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the
MOVABLE SHELVES
compartment let the appliance run at least
2 hours on the higher settings.
In the event of accidental defrost-
ing, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off for
longer than the value shown in the
technical characteristics chart un-
der "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, de-
pending on the time available for this oper-
ation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-
zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.
ICE-CUBE PRODUCTION
This appliance is equipped with one or
more trays for the production of ice-cubes.
Fill these trays with water, then put them in
the freezer compartment.
Do not use metallic instruments to
remove the trays from the freezer.
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.
