1. Operating Instructions

Aircooler

It is recognizable due to the presence of the mechanism on the

top part of the refrigerator compartment ( see diagram ). The

Aircooler maintains a constant fridge temperature to keep food

fresher for longer and will quickly restore the temperature to the

correct level, even if the door is opened frequently: the blown air

(A) is cooled when it comes into contact with the cold wall,

whereas the hotter air (B) is sucked up ( see diagram ).

The back wall may be covered in frost or droplets of water,

depending on whether the compressor is in operation or whether

it is paused.

Static

Models without the Aircooler have the cooling section in the internal

back wall of the compartments. The wall will be covered in frost or

water droplets depending on whether the compressor is operating

or paused: both cases are normal. If the TEMPERATURE

ADJUSTMENT knob has been set on high values with large

quantities of food and with a high ambient temperature, the

appliance can operate continuously, resulting in excessive frost

formation and excessive energy consumption: compensate for this

by shifting the knob towards lower values (defrosting will occur

automatically).

In static appliances, the air circulates in a natural way: the colder

air tends to move downwards as it is heavier. The food should be

stored as follows:

Food

Fresh fish and meat

Fresh cheese

Cooked food

Salami, loaves of bread,

chocolate

Fruit and vegetables

Eggs

Butter and margarine

Bottles, drinks, milk

Using the refrigerator to its full potential

• Use the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to adjust the

temperature ( see Description ).

• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, not

hot foods ( see Precautions and tips ).

• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw

foods.

• Do not store liquids in open containers. They will increase

humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to form.

Food hygiene

1. Once you have bought your food, remove all external

packaging made of paper/cardboard or other wrappers,

which could introduce bacteria or dirt inside your refrigerator.

2. Protect the food, (especially easily perishable items and those

that have a strong smell), in order to avoid contact between

them, thereby removing both the possibility of germ/bacteria

contamination as well as the diffusion of strong odours inside

the fridge.

3. Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can circulate

freely between different items.

4. Keep the inside of your fridge clean, taking care not to use

oxidiser or abrasive products.

5. Remove all food past its expiry date from the refrigerator.

6. For the correct preservation of food, all easily perishable

items (soft cheeses, raw fish, meat, etc.) should be stored in

the coldest zone of the fridge compartment, i.e. just above the

salad crisper where the temperature indicator is situated.

Using the freezer to its full potential

• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already

been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten

(within 24 hours).

• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact

with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be

stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment

where the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees

rapid freezing.

• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which

are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they

could break.

• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is

indicated on the plate containing the technical properties

located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment

(for example: Kg/24h: 4)

• In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer

compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest

bin and the special COOL CARE ZONE bin, which has an

adjustable temperature) and place the food directly onto the

evaporator plates.

! Do not open the door during freezing.

! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer

door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer,

ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.

! If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended

period of time, the ideal temperature will not be reached in the

freezer compartment and food preservation will be reduced.

Ice

ice tray

The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer

drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no longer comes

into contact with the food placed inside the freezer compartment;

furthermore, the dripping of the water during filling is avoided (a

lid to cover up the hole after filling with water is also provided).

1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up. Check that the tray is

ompletely empty and fill it with water through the opening

provided.

2. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX WATER

LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes from dispensing

(if this happens, wait for the ice to melt and empty the tray).

3. Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments each

mould fills with water ( see diagram ).

4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the tray back,

placing the top part in the corresponding housing and

allowing it to drop in again.

5. When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately 8

hours) knock the tray against a hard surface and wet the

outside so that the ice cubes come loose and take them out

through the opening.
