First use

Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand- new product, then dry thoroughly.

Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.

Daily use

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.

Important! 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.

Carbon Air Filter

Your appliance is equipped with a carbon filter behind a flap in the rear wall of the air distributing box.

The filter purifies the air from unwanted odours in the fridge compartment meaning that the storage quality will be further improved.

Important! During the operation, always keep the air ventilation flap closed.

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.
