hours. Do not freeze more than one quantity at a
time.
Useful hints for freezing
• Products to be frozen should be fresh and clean.
• Pack foods in suitable family portions which can
be used up all at once.
• Small packs allow fast and uniform freezing.
• Lean foods keep better and longer than fatty
foods. Salt reduces the storage life of food.
• Wrap foods closely in aluminium foil or plastic
bags or film, and make sure they are properly
sealed.
• Attach a label to each pack, indicating the
contents and the date on which it was prepared.
• Never place hot foods, bottles or containers with
fizy drinks in the freezer (they could explode).
• Do not fill containers with lids right to the brim.
• Do not add more food or open the doors during
the freezing process.
• Never place food to be frozen in contact with

with another appliance of the same value.
In this event, we reserve the right to ask for a financial contribution calculated according to the length of
time it has been used.

guarantee period begins.
14.We give a twelve month guarantee for repairs, limited to the same.
15.Except in the event where liability is legally imposed, this declaration of guarantee terms excludes any
compensation for damage outside the appliance for which the consumer wishes to assert his right. In the
