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 re­frozen (after cooling).

Hang the baskets on the upper edge of the
freezer (A) or place them inside the freezer
(B). Turn and fix the handles for these two
positions as shown in the picture.

The baskets will slide into each other.
The following pictures show how many
baskets can be placed inside the various
freezer models.
You can purchase additional baskets from
your local Service Centre.

B

OPENING AND CLOSING THE
LID

As the lid is equipped with a tightly closing
seal, it is not easy to reopen it shortly after
closing (due to the vacuum formed inside).

• Hold the ice cube maker vertically and fill
it with water up to the max. line (A)
shown in the figure.

• Close it with the cap (B) and slide it into
the ice cube maker holder in the freezer
top.

• To loosen the ice cubes, twist the ice
cube maker or hold it under running wa­ter for a few seconds.

WARNING!

Never use sharp or pointed tools
for the removal of the ice cube
maker.

Wait a few minutes before reopening the
appliance. The vacuum valve will help you
to open the lid.

WARNING!

Never pull the handle with immense
force.

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 during 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;

• 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.

ENGLISH 13

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
retailer;

• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are trans­ferred from the foodstore to the freezer
in the shortest possible time;

• not open the lid 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.

PERIODIC CLEANING

CAUTION!

Do not use detergents, abrasive
products, highly perfumed cleaning
products or wax polishes to clean
the inner side of the appliance.
Prevent damage to the cooling sys­tem.

There is no need to clean the com­pressor area.

DEFROSTING OF THE FREEZER

The freezer compartment of this model, on
the other hand, is a "no frost" type. This
means that there is no buildup of frost
when it is in operation, neither on the inter­nal walls nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continu­ous circulation of cold air inside the com­partment, driven by an automatically con­trolled fan.
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.

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