er settings to obtain the maximum cold-
ness.
Important! 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.
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, de-
pending on the time available for this opera-
tion.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear a faint gurgling and a bub-
bling sound when the refrigerant is pum-
ped through the coils or tubing. This is
correct.
• When the compressor is on, the refriger-
ant is being pumped around and you will
hear a whirring sound and a pulsating
noise from the compressor. This is cor-
rect.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a sud-
den cracking noise. It is natural, not dan-
gerous physical phenomenon. This is
correct.
• When the compressor switches on or
switches off, you will hear a faint "click" of
the temperature regulator. This is correct.
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

Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-
zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped
with a series of runners so that the shelves
can be positioned as desired.
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run continu-
ously, causing frost or ice on the evapo-
rator. If this happens, set the Tempera-
ture Regulator toward warmer settings to
allow automatic defrosting and so a sav-
ing in electricity consumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating
liquids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it
has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate
freely around it
