DAILY USE
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the Action
Freeze function at least 24 hours before
placing the food to be frozen in the freezer
compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rat-
ing plate
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during
this period do not add other food to be frozen.
1)
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).
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).
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.
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
ENGLISH 13
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.
PERIODIC CLEANING
1.
Switch off the appliance.
2.
Disconnect the mains plug from the
mains socket.
3.
Regularly clean the appliance and the
accessories with warm water and neutral soap. Clean the lid seal carefully.
4.
Fully dry the appliance.
5.
Connect the mains plug to the mains
socket.
6.
Switch on the appliance.
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.
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.
DEFROSTING THE FREEZER
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 10-15 mm.
The best time to defrost the freezer when it
contains no or only a little food.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1.
Switch off the appliance.
2.
Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it
in a cool place.
3.
Leave the lid open , remove the plug
from the defrost water drain and collect all defrost water on a tray. Use a
scraper to remove ice quickly.
4.
When defrosting is completed, dry the
interior thoroughly and refit the plug.
5.
Switch on the appliance.
6.
Set the temperature regulator to obtain
the maximum coldness and run the
appliance for two or three hours using
this setting.
7.
Reload the previously removed food into the compartment.
Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost as you could damage the appliance. 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.
The amount of frost on the walls of
the appliance will be increased by
the high level of the outer environment humidity and if the frozen
food is not wrapped properly.
PERIODS OF NON-OPERATION
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1.
Switch off the appliance.
2.
Disconnect the mains plug from the
mains socket.
3.
Remove all food.
4.
Defrost and clean the appliance and all
accessories.
5.
Leave the lid 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.
