door of compartments closes properly,
especially the freezer door.

This appliance is intended to be
used exclusively for the storage of wine
in the wine storage compartment,
for storing fresh food in the drawer
in refrigerator mode and for storing
frozen food, freezing fresh food and
making ice cubes in the drawer in
freezer mode. Always store bottles
without their packaging and not inside
crates or boxes. The capacity of the
wine storage compartment is indicated

wine bottles.
Avoid storing unwrapped food
in direct contact with internal
surfaces of the refrigerator or freezer
compartments. Appliances could have
special compartments (Fresh Food
Compartment, Zero Degree Box,...).
Unless differently specified in the
specific booklet of product, they can
be removed, maintaining equivalent
performances.
C-Pentane is used as blowing
agent in the insulation foam and it is a
flammable gas.
The most appropriate part of the

4) The bottom of the refrigerator
compartment:

- Freezer mode:
Purchased frozen food has the storage
expiration date stated on the packaging.
This date takes into account the type
of food being stored and therefore
this date should be respected. Fresh
food should be stored for the following
time periods: 1-3 months for cheese,
shellfish, ice cream, ham/sausage, milk,
fresh liquids; 4 months for steak or
chops (beef, lamb, pork); 6 months for
butter or margarine, poultry (chicken,
turkey);
8-12 months for fruits (except
citrus), roast meat (beef, pork, lamb),
vegetables. Expiration dates on the
packaging of foods must be respected.
To avoid food contamination, please
observe the following:
a significant increase of the temperature
in the compartments of the appliance.
– Regularly clean surfaces that may
come into contact with food and
accessible drainage systems.
– Clean water tanks if they have not
been used for 48 h; flush the water
system connected to a water supply if
