TIPS ON FREEZING
•
Prevent products to be frozen coming into contact with products that are already frozen.
Make sure packets are dry, as this will prevent a number of packets from freezing into a
solid block.
•
Always prepare food in individual portions for faster freezing.
•
To freeze the maximum quantity of food indicated on the technical data plate, proceed
as follows: - set the thermostat to 4-5, 24 hours before freezing.
•
Put the food in the freezer compartment in contact with the walls and avoid opening the
door unless necessary and even then only very briefly.
•
26 hours after the start of freezing put the thermostat back to the desired setting.
DEFROSTING
If the refrigerator doesn't have a freezer compartment, it defrosts automatically. During
defrosting, droplets of water flow down the back wall of the cell. The water is channelled
into a container by the compressor and evaporates.
If the refrigerator does have a freezer compartment, to limit energy consumption it is
advisable to remove excess frost (3/4 mm) from the freezer box at regular intervals.
To do this, never use sharp objects, metal tools, humidifiers, heaters, hairdryers or de-icing
sprays.
This could irreparably damage the cooling circuit and also be dangerous in the case of
equipment running on R600a.
To defrost proceed as follows
•
Turn the thermostat to 0;
•
Remove the plug from the outlet or switch off at the main switch.
•
Take any food out of the freezer compartment.
•
Remove the water formed during defrosting with a sponge or cloth.
•
Dry the walls and/or cooling grids.
•
Plug in again and turn the thermostat to the desired setting (see section "Getting to
know your refrigerator").
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Remove the plug from the wall outlet before doing any kind of work on the fridge. To clean
the inside of the equipment and its fittings we suggest using water and vinegar. Never use
abrasives, detergent or soap. The shelves are hooked on to the sides of the storage door.
Periodically clean out the water discharge hole on the rear wall with a brush or other
non-pointed object (e.g. matchstick). Clean the door gasket with water and dry carefully.
Dry all the components, put the food back and switch the freezer back on.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should a steam cleaner ever be used for defrosting or cleaning.
Steam may damage live parts of the equipment and cause a short circuit or electric shocks.
Steam may damage plastic parts. Oil or organic solvents must never come into contact with
the refrigerator compartment, as they can attack the plastic, and should be kept in suitable
containers. Examples of such substances:
