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 upper compartment.
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.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.
First use 11
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.
If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and baskets from appliance
and place food on cooling shelves to obtain the best performance.
WARNING!
Make sure that foods do not exceed the load limit stated on the side of the upper section
(where applicable)
In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has
been off for longer that 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).
Frozen Food Calendar
The symbols show different types of frozen goods.
12 Daily use
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.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these
trays with water, then put them in the freezer compartment.
Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.
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.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a
series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.
For better use of space, the front half-shelves can
lie over the rear ones.

the fridge and LONGFRESH compartment meaning
that the storage quality will be further improved.
During the operation, always keep the air ventilation flap closed.
LONGFRESH Compartment
In the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment the temperature is controlled automatically. It stays
constantly at about 0°C, no adjustment is necessary.
The constant storage temperature of about 0°C and the relative humidity of between 45
and 90 % provide optimal conditions for the various kinds of food.
You can therefore store a variety of fresh food in the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment, where
it will last up to 3 times longer with better quality compared to normal refrigerator compartments. This allows you to stock more fresh food. Taste, degree of freshness, quality and
nutritional values (vitamins and minerals) are well preserved. Loss of weight in vegetables
and fruit diminishes. Food yields a higher degree of nutritional value.
The LONGFRESH 0°C compartment is also suitable for defrosting food.
In this case the thawed food can be stored up to two days .
Humidity control
Both drawers can be used according to the desired storage conditions independently of each
other with lower or higher humidity.
Regulation for each drawer is separate and is controlled using the slide valve at the front of the
drawer.
• „Dry“: low air humidity - up to 50 % relative
humidity
This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set into this position
tilation openings are wide open.
• Humid“: high relative humidity - up to 90%
This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set in this position
ventilation openings are closed. Humidity is kept and can not escape.

Drawer
The wire shelves inside the drawers permit that air
can circulate freely and consequently a better
conservation of foods.
The compartment has stops to prevent the drawers from falling out when fully extended.
To remove the drawers (e.g. for cleaning purposes), pull them out as far as the stops, lift and extract.

Cakes containing cream and other kinds of pastry products can be stored in the longfresh
0°C compartment for 2 or 3 days.
Not to be placed in the longfresh 0°C compartment:
• cold sensitive fruit which have to be stored at cellar or room temperature like pineapple,
bananas, grapefruit, melons, mango, papaya, oranges, lemons, kiwi fruit.
• The types of food not mentioned above should be stored in the refrigerator compartment (e.g. all sorts of cheese, cold cuts, etc.)
The level of air humidity in the drawers depends on the content of humidity in the stored
food, vegetable and fruit and on the frequency of door opening
The longfresh 0°C compartment is also suitable for slow thawing of food. In this case the
thawed food can be stored in the longfresh 0°C compartment for up to two days.
Tips:
• Pay attention to the freshness of the food, especially on the expiry date. Quality and
freshness influence the storage time.
• The whole storage cycle time will depend on the preservation conditions made prior to
the final storage in the fridge.
• Food, fruit or vegetables should always be packed or wrapped up before storage.
• Animal food always store packed and dry.
• Food rich in proteins will go bad quicker. This means seafood will spoil before fish which
in turn will spoil before meat. While storing food in a 0°C compartment storage time for
that kind of food can be increased by up to three times as well without loss on quality.
• All food stored in a 0°C compartment should be taken out of the drawers roughly 15-30
min before consumption, particularly fruit and vegetables to be consumed without any
additional cooking process. Allowing fruit and vegetables to return to room temperature
will improve the texture and flavour.
16 Helpful hints and tips
HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the Temperature Regulator is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing
frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, set the Temperature Regulator toward
warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate freely around it
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable
drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
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;
