To package foods for freezing, consult a specialized
manual. Before placing fresh foods in the compartment for
freezing, to prevent the temperature of already frozen
foodstuffs from rising irregularly in contact with the
unfrozen food, these frozen foodstuffs should be removed
from the freezing space and placed below the divider.
Never freeze more foodstuffs than the amount
indicated on the rating plate at one time.
Once the
space is loaded, regardless of the ambient temperature,
move the thermostat knob back about a quarter setting
compared to the setting used for freezing.
The fresh foods will be completely frozen 24 hours after
their placement in the freezing space. If you changed the
thermostat setting for the freezing operation, return the
thermostat to its original setting.

Proper use of the appliance
4
a)
The temperature of the ice made in the freezer is
exteremely low; when removing ice, handle with care
as contact with your skin could cause frost burns and
cuts.
b)
Avoid placing full glass bottles in the freezer, especially
if they are sealed and contain fizzy or carbonated
drinks (mineral water, orange ade, coca cola) because
as the liquid freezes, it expands and could cause the
glass to explode.
Special advice
and instructions
on using the
freezer
Remember to remove the frost from the walls of the top
compartment periodically; do not use sharp metal tools
which can seriously damage the cooling circuit.
Defrosting is necessary to assure the best performance
from your refrigerator and avoid wasting electricity.
To defrost the top compartment, which should be done
once or twice a year, unplug the appliance from the mains
and leave the door open until all the frost has thawed.
