FIRST USE

Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accesso­ries with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a
brand-new product, then dry thoroughly.

Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.

DAILY USE

Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep­frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the FROSTMATIC function at least 24 hours before placing
the food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the two top compartments.
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating
plate , a label located on the inside of the appliance.

Helpful Hints and Tips

10

The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.

Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.

In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power
has been off for longer than the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under
"rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and
then re-frozen (after cooling).

Frozen Food Calendar

The symbols show different types of frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods.
Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the
quality of the foods and treating before freezing.

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator com­partment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cook­ing will take longer.

Cold accumulators

One or more cold accumulators are supplied in the freezer; these increase the length of
time for which food will keep in the event of a power failure or breakdown.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:

• the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating

plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added dur-

ing this period;

• only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;

• prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to

make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;

• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are

airtight;

• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding

a rise in temperature of the latter;

Care and cleaning

• lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;

• water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can

possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;

• it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to

keep tab of the storage time.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:

• make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the re-

tailer;

• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the freezer in the

shortest possible time;

• not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.

• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen.

• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.

CARE AND CLEANING

CAUTION!

Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging
must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.

11

Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.

• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from

debris.

• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.

Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax pol­ishes to clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance
and save electricity consumption.

Take care of not to damage the cooling system.

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the
plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer casing of
this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply.

Care and cleaning

12

Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer shelves and around the top
compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set the Temperature regulator toward higher set­tings , in order to build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in operation.

To remove the frost, follow the instructions below:

1. Switch off the appliance.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool

place.

CAUTION!

Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.

3. Leave the door open and insert the plas-

tic scraper in the appropriate seating at

the bottom centre, placing a basin under-

neath to collect the defrost water
In order to speed up the defrosting process,

place a pot of warm water in the freezer com­partment. In addition, remove pieces of ice
that break away before defrosting is complete.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the in-

terior thoroughly and keep the scraper

for future use.

5. Switch on the appliance.

6. After two or three hours, reload the previously removed food into the compartment.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage

it.
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process
other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe
storage life.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:

•

disconnect the appliance from electricity supply

• remove all food
