Instruction for use
12
To measure the temperature in a certain area
inside the refrigerator (for instance on the
shelf) you can use a thermometer placed in a
glass full with water. In order to obtain a
temperature which represents exactly the
temperature in that area , the temperature
must be read after a few hours of reduced
use, for instance in the morning when the
door is opened the first time.
Fast freeze function
It is used to freeze food in a short time or to
make ice cubes. When the fast freeze button
is pushed, a short beep is heard, confirming
the function is active, and the orange light
comes on. On the freezer display, the freezing
target value will blink for 5 seconds, (-25
0
C).
During fast freeze, the temperature in the
refrigerator compartment never drops below
0
0
C, avoiding the freezing of food in this
compartment.
To cancel this function press the fast freeze
button again (1) or it will automatically switch
off after 12 hours .
In case of a power failure during fast freeze,
when the appliance restarts, the fast freeze
function is not re-activated and the appliance,
operates in the previously set mode.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice-cube tray ¾ with water and
place it in its special area. The ice-cubes
can be easily detached if you pass the
tray for a few seconds under a cold water
tap.
Food freezing
Freezing capacity
The freezing capacity is the maximum weight
of food which can be be frozen in 24 hours. It
is specified in the table on page 9 and on the
rating label in the refrigerator compartment,
near the crisper.
The food must be frozen completely and as
quickly as possible as this helps to preserve
the the vitamin content, nutritive value, texture
and taste. For this reason it is advisable not to
exceed the maximum freezing capacity of
your appliance.
The food already frozen should be kept as far
possible from fresh food that is to be frozen.
Before placing fresh food into the freezer –
always allow it to cool first.
Suggestions for food storage
In order to get best results and maintain good
hygiene standards, we suggest the following:
•
Only keep fresh foods and drinks in the
refrigerator for a short time.
•
Dairy products must be kept in the special
compartment inside the door.
•
Cooked food must be kept in well sealed
containers for not longer than 2-3 days.
•
Packed, fresh food can be kept on the
shelves. Fresh fruits and vegetables can kept
in the crisper.
•
Bottles can be kept in the special
compartment inside the door.
•
In order to keep the fresh meat for a few
days in the refrigerator, pack it in polythene
bags. Do not put it in contact with cooked
food. As a precaution, do not keep for more
than 2-3 days.
•
Keep the food packed or covered. Canned
food should not be kept in the can after it has
been opened.
•
Leave hot food to cool before placing them
into the refrigerator.
•
Alcoholic drinks with high percentage must
be stored in vertical position, in well sealed
containers (they can explode).
•
Do not let food packaging stick on the
cooled wall of the refrigerator (to avoid ice
build-up which cannot be defrosted during
normal operation).
