Daily use
Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food
and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the Fast freezing function at
least 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in the
freezer compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24
hours is specified on the rating plate
16)
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do
not add other food to be frozen.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before
putting the products in the compartment let the appliance
run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.
Important! In the event of accidental defrosting, for
example due to a power failure, if the power has been off
for longer than the value shown in the technical
characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately
and then re-frozen (after cooling).
Care and cleaning
Caution! Unplug the appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling
unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore
only be carried out by authorized technicians.
Defrosting the freezer
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness
of about 10-15 mm.
The best time to defrost the freezer when it contains no or
only a little food.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a cool place.
3. Leave the lid open , remove the plug from the defrost
water drain and collect all defrost water on a tray. Use
a scraper to remove ice quickly.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-
oughly and refit the plug.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain the maximum
coldness and run the appliance for two or three hours
using this setting.
7. Reload the previously removed food into the compart-
ment.
Important! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
as you could damage the appliance. Do not use a
mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than those recommended by the
manufacturer. A temperature rise of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
