The freezing process lasts 24 hours:during this period do not add other foodto be frozen.When the freezing process is completed,return to the required temperature (see"FROSTMATIC Function").In this condition, therefrigerator compartmenttemperature might dropbelow 0°C. If this occursreset the temperatureregulator to a warmersetting.4.2 Storage of frozen foodWhen first starting-up or after a periodout of use, before putting the productsin the compartment let the appliance runat least 2 hours with the FROSTMATICfunction turned on.If large quantities of food are to bestored, remove all drawers fromappliance and place food on glass shelfto obtain the best performance.In the event of accidentaldefrosting, for example dueto a power failure, if thepower has been off forlonger that the value shownin the technical data chartunder "Rising time", thedefrosted food must beconsumed quickly or cookedimmediately and then re-frozen (after cooling).5. CARE AND CLEANINGWARNING!Refer to Safety chapters.5.1 Cleaning the interiorBefore using the appliance for the firsttime, the interior and all internalaccessories should be washed withlukewarm water and some neutral soapto remove the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dried thoroughly.CAUTION!Do not use detergents orabrasive powders, as thesewill damage the finish.5.2 Periodic cleaningCAUTION!Do not pull, move ordamage any pipes and/orcables inside the cabinet.CAUTION!Take care of not to damagethe cooling system.CAUTION!When moving the cabinet,lift it by the front edge toavoid scratching the floor.The equipment has to be cleanedregularly:1.

This meansthat there is no build up of frost when itis in operation, neither on the internalwalls nor on the foods. The absence offrost is due to the continuous circulationof cold air inside the compartment,driven by an automatically controlled fan.The defrost water drains out through atrough into a special container at theback of the appliance, over the motorcompressor, where it evaporates.It is important to periodically clean thedefrost water drain hole in the middle ofthe refrigerator compartment channel toENGLISH 7
