Storing, freezing and  
thawing food  
Introduction  
Defrosting  
GB  
Wrap food so that no water, moisture or condensate  
can enter; this will prevent odours or aromas going  
from one part to another in the refrigerator, ensuring  
better preservation of frozen foods. Use plastic  
containers with hermetic lids, aluminium trays,  
aluminium foil, plastic film and waterproof plastic  
wraps.  
Useful suggestions.  
- Raw vegetables: place directly in boiling water  
without thawing and cook normally.  
- Meat (large cuts): thaw in the refrigerator  
compartment without removing the wrapping. Before  
cooking, leave at room temperature for a couple of  
hours.  
NOTE: Never place hot food in the freezer. Allow hot  
foods to cool to room temperature for 30 minutes, then  
wrap and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing  
saves energy and prolongs the life of the appliance.  
- Meat (small cuts): thaw at room temperature or  
cook directly.  
- Fish: thaw in the refrigerator compartment without  
unwrapping or cook directly before completely  
thawed. In case of a power failure, the freezer  
compartment will maintain an adequate storage  
temperature for about 12 hours; during this period, it  
is advisable to keep the compartment door closed.  
Do not refreeze partially thawed food.  
- Already cooked food: heat in the oven without  
removing it from the aluminium containers.  
- Fruit: thaw in the refrigerator compartment.  
Sealing  
When sealing food in bags, remove the air (liquids  
need space to expand). Fasten the top of the bag with  
a string. Put the label inside transparent bags; use  
self-adhesive labels for applying on the outside of  
opaque bags.  
FOOD STORAGE CHART  
Storage times vary according to the quality of the food, the type of packaging or wrap used (which should be  
moisture and steam proof), and the storage temperature (which must be -18°C).

Removing the crisper or meat drawer:  
1. slide the drawer out as far as it goes;  
2. with one hand underneath the drawer, lift and pull it  
out;  
3. the drawer will come off the runners and can be  
pulled out further;  
The air flow can be adjusted by means of the  
special slider.  
4. to remove it completely, the drawer must be turned:  
front end up, rear end down.  
To store vegetables in the meat drawer, shift the  
control device all the way to the left, to the  
vegetables setting. This avoids possible damage  
due to the vegetables freezing.  
Removing and refitting the glass drawer lid.

Using the ice and  
water dispenser  
First use  
Water dispensing  
GB  
When the ice and water dispenser is used for the first  
time, the first ice cubes and water coming out of the  
dispenser may have an unpleasant taste and should  
therefore be discarded.  
To dispense water press a glass against the water  
dispenser lever, removing the glass to stop  
dispensing; at the same time the light inside the  
dispenser comes on, and goes off when the lever is  
released.  
It is not necessary to press hard on the levers to

12  
 
Using the automatic  
ice-maker  
After switching on the refrigerator, it usually takes  
overnight for the first ice cubes to form.  
GB  
When selecting crushed ice, the cubes are crushed  
just before being dispensed, therefore the crushed ice  
may come out with a slight delay. Noise from the ice  
crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size.  
When changing from crushed ice to ice cubes, a small  
amount of crushed ice may come out together with the  
first cubes.  
Normal ice production consists of about 7 to 8 batches  
of ice cubes in a 24-hour period. The quantity and size  
of the ice cubes depend on the mains water pressure.  
Ice cubes production can be increased by decreasing  
the temperature on the freezer compartment.  
Note: Large amounts of ice cubes should be taken  
directly from the bucket, and not from the dispenser.  
NOTE: In order to increase the amount of available  
space, the ice drawer can be remover from the  
freezer compartment. In this case, remember to  
switch the ice maker off, or ice production will  
continue.

Troubleshooting guide  
Before contacting After-sales Service...  
GB  
Operation problems are often due to minor causes that can be found and fixed without using any tools.  
Noises from the appliance are normal, since the fans and compressors for controlling its operation switch on and off  
automatically.  
• Levelling the appliance and installing it on a flat surface  
• Separating and preventing contact of the appliance with the cabinets  
• Making sure the inside parts are correctly positioned  
Some noises can be reduced by:  
• Making sure the bottles and containers are not touching each other.  
• Hissing when the appliance is switched on the first time or after a long

period.  
• Gurgling when the refrigerant enters the pipes.  
• Humming when the water valve or fan are activated.  
• Rattling when the compressor starts up or when the ice drips in the  
bucket.  
• A sudden thud when the compressor starts up or stops.  
When you hear these noises...  
...your appliance is alive!!!  
Possible causes/solutions  
Problem  
• Is the power cable plugged into a socket powered with the right voltage?  
• Have you checked the protection devices and fuses of your home’s  
electrical system?  
The appliance does not work:  
• Is the condenser free of dust and fluff?  
• Are the doors properly closed?  
• Are the door seals intact?  
The motor seems to run  
constantly:  
• On hot days or when the room is warm, it is normal for the motor to run  
longer.  
• If the appliance door has been left open for a long time or if large amounts  
of food have been introduced, the motor will run longer in order to cool the  
inside of the appliance.

Troubleshooting guide  
• Make sure the air ducts inside the compartment are not blocked and thus  
Moisture has accumulated:  
GB  
preventing the circulation of air.  
• Make sure food is properly packaged. Dry any wet food containers before  
placing them in the appliance.  
• Make sure the doors are not opened too frequently. When the door is  
opened, the moisture contained in the room air enters the appliance. The  
more often the door is opened, the faster moisture accumulates, especially  
if the room itself is very humid.  
• If the room is very humid, it is normal for moisture to accumulate inside the  
appliance.  
• This is normal in hot and humid weather. The pan can even be half full.  
Make sure the refrigerator is level so that water does not spill from the pan.  
There is water in the defrost pan:  
• Are the appliance controls correctly adjusted?  
• Has a large amount of food been placed in the appliance?  
• Make sure the doors are not opened too frequently and check that the  
doors close properly.  
If the appliance temperature is  
too high:  
• Make sure the air ducts inside the compartment are not blocked and thus  
preventing the circulation of cold air.  
• This is normal in hot weather and when the compressor is working.  
The applianceʼs in contact with  
the seal is hot to the touch:  
• Make sure no food packages are blocking the door.  
• Make sure the inside parts or the automatic ice-maker are not incorrectly  
positioned.  
The doors do not open and close  
properly:  
• Make sure the door seals are not dirty or sticky.  
• Make sure the appliance is level.  
• Have you checked the protection devices and fuses of your home’s  
electrical system?  
The light does not work:  
• Is the power cable plugged into a socket powered with the right voltage?  
• Is the lamp burnt?  
• Has the freezer had enough time to become cold? With a new appliance  
this may take overnight.  
The automatic ice-maker does not  
work:  
• Is the automatic ice-maker ON/OFF button set to ON?  
• Is water reaching the automatic ice-maker? Is the water cock open? The  
filter may be clogged or not correctly installed. Firstly, check the filter  
installation instructions to make sure the filter is correctly fitted and not  
clogged. If installation or clogging is not the problem, call qualified  
personnel or a technician.  
• Is the freezer compartment door closed?  
• Is the ice bucket correctly installed?  
The dispenser does not work:  
• Are the ice cubes stuck because the ice dispenser has not been used for  
some time? Shake the ice bucket to separate the cubes and increase the  
holding capacity. It is advisable to throw away the old ice cubes and make  
new ice.  
The ice dispenser stops working:  
• Has the ice dispenser lever been pressed for too long? Wait about 3  
minutes for the dispenser motor to reset.  
16  
 
Troubleshooting guide  
• Has the ice absorbed bad odours? Is the quality of the water good? Water  
containing minerals may require a filter.  
• Is the food properly covered?  
The ice has an unpleasant smell  
or taste:  
GB  
• Is the ice bucket/freezer compartment clean? Follow the instructions for  
the correct ice dispenser water supply.  
• Are the pipes correctly connected to the ice dispenser? The first ice cubes  
coming out of the dispenser may have an unpleasant taste, therefore it is  
advisable to discard them and make new ice cubes.  
• Change the ice selection from cubes to crushed ice, or vice versa, in  
order to remove any ice blocks. If the dispenser still does not dispense  
ice, wait a couple of minutes and repeat the operation.  
The dispenser does not dispense  
ice when the lever is pressed:  
• During the first delivery, there will be a delay of 15 to 20 seconds due to  
the system needing to fill with water.  
• If the appliance is kept at very cold temperatures and the meat drawer  
temperature control shutter is open, water delivery might be temporarily  
interrupted. Closing the shutter will cause water delivery to recommence  
within the next 12 hours.  
If the dispenser does not  
dispense water when the lever is  
pressed:  
• Press the corresponding button (marked with A in the  
figure) to activate the anticondensation function.  
There is condensation in the ice
