4.1 Initial power on
CAUTION!
Before inserting the power
plug in to the outlet and
switching on the cabinet for
the first time, leave the
appliance standing upright
for at least 4 hours. This will
assure a sufficient amount of
time for the oil to return to
the compressor. Otherwise
the compressor or electronic
components may sustain
damage.
4.2 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 with the FROSTMATIC
function turned on. The freezer drawers
ensure that it is quick and easy to find
the food package you want. If large
quantities of food are to be stored,
remove all drawers except for the
bottom drawer which needs to be in
place to provide good air circulation. On
all shelves it is possible to place food
that protrude until 15 mm from the door.
4.3 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 small amount of fresh food it is
not necessary to change the present
setting.
To freeze fresh food activate the
FROSTMATIC function at least 24 hours
before placing the food to be frozen in
the freezer compartment.
Place the food to be frozen in the top
compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can
be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the
rating plate.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours:
during this period do not add other food
to be frozen.
When the freezing process is complete,
return to the required temperature (see
"FROSTMATIC Function").
In this condition, the
refrigerator compartment
temperature might drop
below 0°C. If this occurs
reset the temperature
regulator to a warmer
setting.
4.4 Storing food in a fridge
compartment
Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it
has a strong flavour.
Position the food so that air can circulate
freely around it.
Keep the food on all shelves no closer
than 20 mm from the rear wall and 15
mm from the door.
4.5 FreshBox module
The drawer inside the module is suitable
for storing fresh food like fish, meat,
seafood, because the temperature is
lower here than in the rest of the fridge.
CAUTION!
Before placing or removing
the FreshBox module inside
the appliance, pull out the
MaxiBox drawer and glass
cover.
The FreshBox module is equipped with
runners. At the time of its removal from
the fridge compartment pull the module
towards yourself and remove the basket
by tilting its front downwards.
