COLD ACCUMULATORS
The freezer contains at least one cold accumulator

which increases storage time in the event of a

power cut or breakdown.

HINTS AND TIPS

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
The following sounds are normal during operation:
• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils

sound when refrigerant is pumped.

• A whirring and pulsating sound from the

compressor when refrigerant is pumped.

• A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance

caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not

dangerous physical phenomenon).

• A faint click noise from the temperature

regulator when the compressor switches on or

off.

HINTS FOR ENERGY SAVING
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open

longer than absolutely necessary.

• Do not remove the cold accumulators from the

freezer basket.

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 hours is shown on the rating plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours no further

food to be frozen should be added during this

period;

• freeze only top quality, fresh and thoroughly

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 polythene

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 appliance,

you should:
• make sure that the commercially frozen

foodstuffs were adequately stored by the

retailer;

• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred

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 indicated by

the food manufacturer.
