5. DAILY USE
5.1 Freezing fresh food
The freezer (top) compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time. To freeze fresh food place it in the freez­ing (top) compartment and leave it there for 24 hours Move frozen food from the top (freezer) compartment into the other two compart­ments (storing compartments). For maxi­mum freezing performance remove the top drawer (if the drawer is foreseen) and then place the foods to be frozen directly on the evaporator. In case of freezing smaller food volumes you do not need to remove the drawer. The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rat- ing plate, a label located on the inside of the appliance. The freezing process lasts 24 hours: dur­ing this period do not add other food to be frozen.

Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.
compartment let the appliance run at least 8 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).
5.3 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed at room tempera­ture. Small pieces may even be cooked still fro­zen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.
5.2 Storage of frozen food

6. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
6.1 Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear a faint gurgling and a bubbling sound when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing. This is correct.
• When the compressor is on, the refrig­erant is being pumped around and you will hear a whirring sound and a pulsat-
ing noise from the compressor. This is correct.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden cracking noise. It is natural, not dangerous physical phenomenon. This is correct.
• When the compressor switches on or switches off, you will hear a faint "click"

• 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.
6.3 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 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.
7. 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.
7.1 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. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance and save electricity consumption.
Take care of not to damage the cooling system.
7.2 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 and discon­nect the mains plug from the mains socket.
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 plastic scraper in the appropriate seating at the bottom centre, placing a basin underneath 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.
ENGLISH 9
4.
When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly and keep the scraper for future use.
5.
Switch on the appliance.
6.
Turn the Temperature Regulator to the Full Loaded position and leave to run for at least 8 hours.
7.
After the Red Indicator Light has gone out, reload the previously removed food into the compartments.
8.
Adjust the Temperature Regulator ac­cording to the quantity of the stored foods.
WARNING!
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.
7.3 Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:
1.
disconnect the appliance from elec­tricity supply
2.
remove all food
3.
defrost and clean the appliance and all accessories
4.
leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
