4.5 

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 with the FROSTMATIC

function turned on.

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 data chart

under "Rising time", the

defrosted food must be

consumed quickly or cooked

immediately and then re-

frozen (after cooling).

4.6 

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.

4.7 

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or

more trays for the production of ice-

cubes.

Do not use metallic

instruments to remove the

trays from the freezer.

1.

Fill these trays with water

2.

Put the ice trays in the freezer

compartment.

4.8 

Cold accumulators

The freezer contains at least one cold

accumulator which increases storage

time in the event of a power cut or

breakdown.
This shall be placed on top of the frozen

food in the front part.

HINTS AND TIPS

5.1 

Normal operating sounds

The following sounds are normal during

operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound

from coils sound when refrigerant is

pumped.

• A whirring and pulsating sound from

the compressor when refrigerant is

pumped.

• A sudden cracking noise from inside

appliance caused by thermic

dilatation (a natural and not

dangerous physical phenomenon).

• A faint click noise from the

temperature regulator when the

compressor switches on or off.

5.2 

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.

• If foreseen, do not remove the cold

accumulators from the freezer basket.

5.3 

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

5.4 

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:
• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable

packaging and place it on the glass
