temperature inside the appliance depends
on:
• room temperature
• how often the lid is opened
• the quantity of food stored
• the location of the appliance.

4. FIRST USE

4.1 Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first
time, the interior and all internal
accessories should be washed with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap to
remove the typical smell of a brand-new
product, then dried thoroughly.

5. DAILY USE

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
5.1 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
higher settings to obtain the maximum
coldness.
CAUTION!
In this condition, the
refrigerator compartment
temperature might drop
below 0°C. If this occurs
reset the temperature
regulator to a warmer setting.
CAUTION!
If the ambient temperature is
high or the appliance is fully
loaded, and the appliance is
set to the lowest
temperatures, it may run
continuously causing frost to
form on the rear wall. In this
case the dial must be set to a
higher temperature to allow
automatic defrosting and
therefore reduced energy
consumption.
CAUTION!
Do not use detergents or
abrasive powders, as these
will damage the finish.
5.2 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 on the higher settings.
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).
5.3 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.
