storage time in the fridge compartment is achieved
with colder temperatures. Since some particular
products (as fresh fruits and vegetables) may be
damaged with colder temperatures, it is suggested
to keep them in the crisper drawers, whenever
present. If not present, maintain an average setting
of the thermostat.
• For frozen food, refer to the storage
time written on the food packaging. This storage
time is achieved whenever the setting respects the
reference temperatures of the compartment (one-
star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars -18°C)
ENERGY SAVING
For better energy saving we suggest:

Installing the appliance away from heat
sources and not exposed to direct
sunlight and in a well-ventilated room.

Avoid putting hot food into the
refrigerator to avoid increasing the
internal temperature and therefore
causing continuous functionalizing of
the compressor.

Do not excessively stuff foods so as to
ensure proper air circulation.

Defrost the appliance in case there is ice
to facilitate the transfer of cold.

In case of absence of electrical energy, it
is advisable to keep the refrigerator
door closed.

Open or keep the doors of the appliance
open as little as possible.

Avoid adjusting the setting to
temperatures too cold.

Remove dust present on the rear of the
appliance.
TAKE CARE
Defrosting
This appliance has automatic defrosting system, no
need to defrost by hand.
Cleaning and Care
After defrosting you should clean the Fridge/Freezer
internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of
soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp
sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in
warm soapy water and ensure they are completely
dry before replacing in the Fridge/Freezer.
Condensation will form on the back wall of the
Fridge; however it will normally run down the back
wall and into the drain hole behind the salad bin.
The drain hole will have a "cleaning spike" inserted
into it. This ensures that small pieces off food can
not enter the drain. After you have cleaned the
inside of your Fridge and removed any food residues
from around the whole, use the "cleaning spike" to
make sure that there are no blockages. Use standard
furniture polish to clean the Fridge/Freezer exterior.
Make sure that the doors are closed to prevent
polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the
Fridge/Freezer and the adjacent components can be
