User manual

In this condition, the
refrigerator compartment
temperature might drop below
0°C. If this occurs reset the
temperature regulator to a
warmer setting.
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 on the higher settings.
WARNING! 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.
Temperature indicator
For proper storage of food the refrigerator
is equipped with the temperature indicator.
The symbol on the side wall of the
appliance indicates the coldest area in the
refrigerator.
If OK is displayed (A), put fresh food into
area indicated by symbol, if not (B), adjust
the temperature controller to a colder
setting and wait 12 hours before checking
the temperature indicator again.

After putting fresh food into the
appliance or after opening the
door repeatedly or for a long
period, it is normal for the
indicator not to show OK. Wait
at least 12 hours before
readjusting the temperature
controller.
HINTS AND TIPS
Normal operating sounds
The following sounds are normal during
operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound
from coils sound when refrigerant is
pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from
the compressor when refrigerant is
pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside
appliance caused by thermic dilatation
(a natural and not dangerous physical
phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the temperature
regulator when the compressor
switches on or off.
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and
the Temperature Regulator is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice on the
evaporator. If this happens, set the
Temperature Regulator toward warmer
