Helpful hints and tips

Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave
it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high, the
temperature regulator is on the higher
setting and the appliance is fully loaded,
the compressor may run continuously,
causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If
this happens, turn the temperature regu-
lator toward lower settings to allow auto-
matic defrosting and so a saving in elec-
tricity consumption.

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 oper-
ation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-
zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one tray for
the production of ice-cubes.
1. Fill the tray with water.
2. Put the tray in the freezer compartment
Important! Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the tray from the freezer.
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.
