storage quality will be further improved. On
delivery the carbon filter is in a plastic bag
to preserve performance. The filter should
be placed in the air lever drawer before the
appliance is turned on. To get the best
performance the filter should be replaced
once every year. In order to obtain
information on the new filter purchase,
contact the Authorised Service Centre.
Caution! Make sure that the air
lever drawer is closed to obtain
proper functioning. Handle the
filter carefully so that fragments
do not loosen from the surface.

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.
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave
it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If foreseen, do not remove the cold
accumulators from the freezer basket.

liquids in the refrigerator
1. Open the air lever drawer.
2. Remove the filter from the plastic bag.
3. Insert the filter in the drawer.

freely around it
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
• Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene
bags and place on the glass shelf above
the vegetable drawer.
• For safety, store in this way only one or
two days at the most.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc. : these
should be covered and may be placed
on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer(s) provided.
• Butter and cheese: these should be
placed in special airtight containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene
bags to exclude as much air as possible.
• Bottles: these need a cap and should be
stored on the door bottle shelf, or (if
equipped) on the bottle rack.
• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if
not packed, must not be kept in the
refrigerator.
