FREEZING
DEFROSTING
• Foods must be fresh.
• Freeze small amounts of food at a time in order to freeze quickly.
Never exceed the maximum amount indicated on the rating label.
• During freezing, do not open the freezer door.
• Food must be sealed, airtight.
• Separate food to be frozen by those already frozen.
• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of frozen foods.
• Once defrosted, do not ever refreeze foods and consume them
promptly.
NOTE:
•PRODUCTS WITHOUT DISPLAY
Normally it is not necessary to intervene with the thermostat knob.
Only in case you find excessive cooling of the products contained
in the refrigerator compartment, gently turning the thermostat knob
toward 0 is recommended (Fig. 7).
On completion of freezing, return the knob to the usual position.
During normal functioning, the refrigerator is automatically defrosted.
There is no need to dry the drops of water present on the rear wall or to
eliminate the frost (depending on functioning).
The water is conveyed to the rear part through the drain hole found there
and the heat of the compressor causes it to evaporate.
• Keep the drainage pipe (Fig. 8) clean in the refrigerator compartment to
keep it free of water.
The rating plate states the maximum quantity of foods that can be frozen, (see fi
gure 8).
