established as it depends on the type of food.
Always comply with the indications on the frozen food
packaging to be sure.
SOME RECOMMENDATIONS:
Ensure that the enclosure is intact; wet and swelling
packaging indicate that the frozen product may have
deteriorate.
Food that have started the defrosting process must
never be frozen again. Do not store food longer than
the recommended period.
DEFROSTING
In power outage conditions, it depends on its duration.
If it is expected to last less than 12 hours, leave the food
inside the freezer and keep the door closed. If power
outage is expected to last more than 12 hours, consume
the defrosting food as soon as possible. The frost that
forms on the racks must be removed when it reaches a
thickness of about 3-4 mm, in order to prevent affecting
the transmission of cold and consuming energy. Use the
supplied plastic scraper to remove the frost layer. The
warranty does not cover any damage caused by using
these items. Generally, the freezer must be defrosted
twice a year, following the indications below:
- Remove the food, wrap it inside several layers of paper
and store it in the refrigerator or in a cool place.
- Consider that increase in temperature of the food
reduces the storage life considerably.
- Remove the baskets, ice cube trays and leave the door
open .
- Use a sponge to collect the defrosting water that
deposits at the bottom of the appliance.
- To accelerate the defrosting process, scrape the frost
layer using the supplied scraper.
WARNING! do not use mechanical devices or
other artifi cial methods than those recommended
by the manufacturer to accelerate the defrosting
process .
ATTENTION: Do not use electrical devices inside
the food storage compartment, if they are not
recommended by the manufacturer.
INTERNAL LIGHT
Every time the door is opened, a light inside the refrig-
erator compartment switches on. In the event the door is
left open for too long, the light switches off automatically
after 5 minutes of operation; close and open the door
again to reactivate it.
