DAILY USE 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. Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, chlorine or oil-based cleaners as they will damage the finish. Follow the recommendations and advice received at the time of purchase or given in the technical documentation regarding the quality, duration and optimum storage temperature of the wine. Air circulation • Do not cover the shelves with any protective material, such as paper, cardboard or plastic, which may obstruct the air circulation through them. • Do not place the bottles at directly against the back wall of the compartment which will obstruct the air circulation through them. Wine arrangement The temperature can be adjusted between + 6 and + 16°C. This compartment is ideal for storing and refining red or white wines for long periods. Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer. 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 small amount of fresh foods it is not necessary to change the present setting.

Do not use metallic instruments to remove the tray from the freezer. The symbols show different types of frozen goods. The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and treating before freezing. Cold accumulators The freezer contains at least one cold accumulator which increases storage time in the event of a power cut or breakdown. Frozen Food Calendar 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. • the freezing process takes 24 hours no further food to be frozen should be added during this period; • freeze only top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs; • prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required; • wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight; • do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter; • lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food; • water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt; • it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time. Hints for energy saving • Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
