ENGLISH

Do not store explosive substances such

as aerosol cans and do not place or use

gasoline or other flammable materials in

or near the appliance.

Do not swallow the contents (non-

toxic) of the ice packs (provided with some

models). Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies

immediately after taking them out of the

freezer since they may cause cold burns.

For products designed to use an air

filter inside an accessible fan cover, the

filter must always be in position when the

refrigerator is in function.

Do not store glass containers with

liquids in the freezer compartment since

they may break. Do not obstruct the fan (if

included) with food items. After placing the

food check that the door of compartments

closes properly, especially the freezer door.

Damaged gaskets must be replaced as

soon as possible.

Use the refrigerator compartment only

for storing fresh food and the freezer

compartment only for storing frozen food,

freezing fresh food and making ice cubes.

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 compartments

of the appliance where specific types of

food are to be stored, taking into account

different temperature distribution in

different compartments in the appliance,

are as follows:

- Refrigerator compartment:

1) Upper area of the refrigerator

compartment & door - temperature zone:

Store tropical fruit, cans, drinks, eggs,

sauces, pickles, butter, jam

2) Middle area of the refrigerator

compartment - cool zone: Store cheese,

milk, dairy food, deli food, yoghurt

3) Lower area of the refrigerator

compartment - coldest zone: Store cold

cuts, desserts, meat and fish, cheesecake,

fresh pasta, sour cream, pesto/salsa,

home-cooked food, pastry cream, pudding

and cream cheese

4) Fruit & vegetable drawer at the bottom

of the refrigerator compartment: Store

vegetables and fruits (excluding tropical

fruits)

5) Chiller compartment: Only store meat

and fish in the coldest drawer

- Freezer compartment:

4 star zone (****) compartment is suitable

for freezing foodstuffs from ambient

temperature and for storing frozen food

as the temperature is evenly distributed

throughout the entire compartment.

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 in the 2-star zone must

be respected.

To avoid food contamination, please

observe the following:

– Opening the door for long periods

can cause 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 water has

not been drawn for 5 days.

– Store raw meat and fish in suitable

containers in the refrigerator, so that it

does not come into contact with or drip

onto other food.

– Two-star frozen food compartments

are suitable for storing pre-frozen food,

storing or making ice cream and ice

cubes.

– Do not freeze fresh food in one, two or

three-star compartments.

– If the refrigerating appliance is left
