PAGE 36 20 BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE Your new appliance is a combined ventilated, no frost fridge-freezer exclusively for domestic use. The great advantage of this appliance is that the refrigerator and freezer compartments are ventilated, therefore there is no ice or frost formation on the walls, thanks to the process described below. The cold is produced by an evaporator and distributed to the single compartments by means of a fan. The air, after circulating in the compartments, is absorbed again by the evaporator, which also retains any humidity in the air. [. . . ] · Do not store toxic products in your refrigerator as they may contaminate foods. · Do not place hot foods inside the refrigerator or freezer. That helps saving power consumption, and assures the good operation of the product. REFRIGERATOR COMPONENTS NO FROST CARE SYSTEM Your refrigerator uses the frost free system making defrosting unnecessary as it is automatic. The no frost care system assures homogeneous distribution of cold air in the whole refrigerator. DUAL FAN SYSTEM (Present on control on door models) Besides the Frost-free and No Frost Care System, your refrigerator is also provided with fans for the freezer and refrigerator compartments to promote faster cold air circulation and to keep temperature levels more stable. It speeds up cooling and prolongs preservation of foods and beverages stored in the refrigerator. FREEZER COMPARTMENT · When storing food in the freezer, prepare small amounts. · Each freezer has the capacity to freeze a given amount of food at every 24 hours. · Always observe the expiration date of frozen food which is indicated by the manufacturer. Take care when storing bottles or other closed containers in the freezer. · When storing foods, avoid placing them next to air openings not to impair the good operation of the product. · When opening the door of your refrigerator shelves may fog up due to the entry of hot air inside the product. · When opening the door of your refrigerator the wind-flow system fan stops working, decreasing the entry of hot air inside the product. · In case the door remains open for approximately 6 minutes, the light is turned off and the fan is restarted so that the integrity of the system operation is maintained. 28 FREEZER SLIDING DRAWER · The freezer compartment of your product is provided with a sliding drawer to facilitate access to food. It also allows for better use and organization of the freezer internal room. · Allow some hours for the ice to form, and then turn the buttons to extract the ice. The ice cubes will fall straight into the ice bin. CLEVER-ICE WITH FEEDER · Your refrigerator is provided with an ice-making system comprised of a feeder, ice trays with extractor and an ice bin. With this system, it will be easier to fill the trays with water, extract the ice cubes and store them. The feeder facilitates filling the trays with water as you will not have to take them to the freezer, avoiding occasional water droplets on the kitchen floor. Important: · Make sure there is no ice in the trays before reloading the feeder. · Before reloading the feeder, check whether there is ice on the springs, remove with running water if necessary. · If you need more storage room in the freezer, you can remove the movable parts of the ice system. THREE-STAGE SHELF (Present on control on the door models) This shelf provides greater flexibility when storing foods in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator. You may use it in the following positions: · Full-width position. How to fill ice trays with water: · Before filling the trays with water, clean them as in "Cleaning". · Remove the feeder from the support, pulling it frontward. · Half-width position. Only push the front of the shelf backward. · Fill it up with water without resting it on a surface and replace it on the support. The water will automatically fill the ice trays. · · Tilted position. Turn the shelf upward until it touches the back of the freezer compartment. · To remove the shelf, place it in the half-width position and push the back of the shelf upward until it is released. 29 EXTRA-COLD COMPARTMENT This sliding compartment stays colder than the rest of the refrigerator compartments to keep daily foods fresh longer. [. . . ] · Has a large amount of food been added to the refrigerator or freezer?· Make sure that air flow vents inside the compartment are not blocked, as this prevents the circulation of cold air. If there is moisture build-up · Make sure that the food is properly packaged. Dry any dampness on food containers before placing them in the refrigerator. [. . . ]
