IN THE EVENT OF NON-USE
OF THE APPLICANCE
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply, empty it, defrost it (if necessary) and clean it.
Keep the doors slightly ajar to let air circulate inside the compartments. By doing this, you avoid
the development of mould and bad odours.
IN THE EVENT OF AN INTERRUPTION TO
THE POWER SUPPLY
Keep the doors closed so the food stays cold for as long as possible. Do not re-freeze food that
has partially defrosted. If there is a prolonged power cut, the black out alarm may also activate (in
products with electronics).
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
The refrigerator compartment allows for the storage of fresh food and drink.
The refrigerator compartment defrosts completely automatically.
The occasional presence of drops of water on the internal back wall of the compartment is a
sign of the automatic defrosting phase. The defrosting water is channelled into a drain and then
collected in a container, where it evaporates.
Depending on the model, the product may be equipped with a special "Zero Degrees"
compartment, which is ideal for storing fresh meat and fish.
Warning: do not clean refrigerator accessories in a dishwasher.
Note: the ambient temperature, how often the doors are opened and the position of the appliance
may affect the internal temperatures in the two compartments. Set the temperatures depending on
these factors.
Note: in very humid conditions, condensation may form in the refrigerator compartment, especially
on the glass shelves. In this case, it is recommended that you close containers with liquids in (e.g.
a pot of stock), wrap up food with a high water content (e.g. vegetables) and turn on the fan, if
there is one.
Removing the fruit and vegetable drawer
(depending on the model)
Pull the drawer outwards as far as it will go, lift it up and take it out.
To make it easier to remove the fruit and vegetable drawer, it may be necessary to empty (and
possibly remove) the two lower door shelves and then continue to remove the drawer.
Fan and antibacterial anti-odour filter
(depending on the model)
The fan allows for the even distribution of the temperatures inside the compartments and,
consequently, better preservation of the food and reduction of excess humidity. Do not obstruct
the ventilation area. The fan can be turned on/off manually (see the Quick Guide); if it is turned on,
it operates automatically when necessary.
