Helpful Hints and Tips

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 rating

plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No

further food to be frozen should be added

during this period;

• only freeze top quality, fresh and thorough-

ly 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 latter;

• lean foods store better and longer than

fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of

food;

• water ices, if consumed immediately after

removal from the freezer compartment,

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.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this ap-

pliance, you should:

• make sure that the commercially frozen

foodstuffs were adequately stored by the

retailer;

• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transfer-

red from the foodstore to the freezer in the

shortest possible time;

• not open the door 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.

Care and cleaning

Caution!

 Unplug the appliance before

carrying out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in

its cooling unit; maintenance and re-

charging must therefore only be carried

out by authorized technicians.

Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

• clean the inside and accessories with luke-

warm water and some neutral soap.

• regularly check the door seals and wipe

clean to ensure they are clean and free

from debris.

• rinse and dry thoroughly.

Important!

 Do not pull, move or damage any

pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.

Never use detergents, abrasive powders,

highly perfumed cleaning products or wax

polishes to clean the interior as this will dam-

age the surface and leave a strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the

compressor at the back of the appliance with

a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation

will improve the performance of the appli-

ance and save energy consumption.

Important!

 Take care of not to damage the

cooling system.

Important!

 When moving the cabinet, lift it

by the front edge to avoid scratching the

floor.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners

contain chemicals that can attack/damage

the plastics used in this appliance. For this

reason use a soft cloth rinsed in warm water

and neutral soap emulsion for cleaning ex-

ternal surfaces.

Important!

 Do not use detergents or

abrasive paste as these will damage the

paint, or stainless steel anti finger print

coating.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to

the mains supply.

Cleaning the ventilation grille

The ventilation grille can be removed for

washing.
