Do not use metallic
instruments to remove the
trays from the freezer.
1. Fill these trays with water
2. Put the ice trays in the freezer
compartment.
5.6 Cold accumulators
The freezer contains at least one cold
accumulator which increases storage
time in the event of a power cut or
breakdown.
5.7 Humidity control
The glass shelf incorporates a device
with slits (adjustable by means of a
sliding lever), which makes it possible to
regulate the humidity in the vegetable
drawer(s).
When the ventilation slots are closed:
the natural moisture content of the food
in the fruit and vegetable compartments
is preserved for longer.
When the ventilation slots are opened:
more air circulation results in a lower air
moisture content in the fruit and
vegetable compartments.
5.8 FreeStore
The refrigerator compartment is
equipped with a device that allows for
rapid cooling of foods and more uniform
temperature in the compartment.
This device activates by itself when
needed, for example for a quick
temperature recovering after door
opening or when the ambient
temperature is high.
It is possible to switch on the device
manually when needed (refer to
"FreeStore mode").
The FreeStore device stops
when the door is open and
restarts immediately after
the door closing.
6. HINTS AND TIPS
6.1 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.
6.2 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.
