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 Fast 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 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. When the freezing process is completed, return to the required temperature (see "Fast Freeze Function").
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.
Important! 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).
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.
Important! Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.
18
Page 7
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 half­shelves can lie over the rear ones.
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of vari­ous sizes, the door shelves can be placed at different heights.
To make these adjustments proceed as fol­lows: gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free, then reposition as required.
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.
19
Page 8
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 thor-
oughly 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 pol-
ythene 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 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.
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.
Important! 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.
Important! 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.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special contain­er at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
20
Page 9
It is important to periodically clean the de­frost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to pre­vent the water overflowing and dripping on­to the food inside. Use the special cleaner provided, which you will find already inser­ted into the drain hole.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form around the top compartment.
Important! Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
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. Open the door.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly.
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.
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.
