if you previously push the key into the lock.
In order to close the freezer do these
steps:

1.

push the key into the lock gently.

2.

turn the key clockwise towards the
symbol 

 .

In order to open the freezer do these steps:

1.

push the key into the lock gently.

2.

turn the key counter-clockwise to-
wards the symbol 

 .

Spare keys are available at the lo-
cal Service Centre.

WARNING!

dren.
Make sure to remove the key from
the lock before you discard the old
appliance.

Plastic Low divider

With the low divider you can have a better
use of the space above the compressor.
The space formed this way will allow you to
store small food packs that can be found
more easily.

The separator may also be used as
a tray at the time of defrosting the
freezer.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

7.1 

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which can

be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rat-
ing plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No

further food to be frozen should be add-
ed during this period;

• only freeze top quality, fresh and thor-

oughly cleaned, foodstuffs;

• prepare food in small portions to enable

it to be rapidly and completely frozen
and to make it possible subsequently to
thaw only the quantity required;

• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or pol-

ythene and make sure that the packages
are airtight;

• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to

touch food which is already frozen, thus
avoiding a rise in temperature of the lat-
ter;

• lean foods store better and longer than

fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of
food;

• water ices, if consumed immediately af-

ter removal from the freezer compart-
ment, can possibly cause the skin to be
freeze burnt;

• it is advisable to show the freezing in

date on each individual pack to enable
you to keep tab of the storage time.

7.2 

Hints for storage of frozen

food

To obtain the best performance from this
appliance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially frozen

foodstuffs were adequately stored by the
retailer;

• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are trans-

ferred from the foodstore to the freezer
in the shortest possible time;

• not open the lid frequently or leave it

open longer than absolutely necessary.

• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly

and cannot be refrozen.

• Do not exceed the storage period indica-

ted by the food manufacturer.
