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;

• 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.

Care and cleaning

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with

lukewarm 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.

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 damage the

surface and leave a strong odour.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the

evaporator of the refrigerator compartment

every time the motor compressor stops, during

normal use. The defrost water drains out

through a trough into a special container at the

back of the appliance, over the motor

compressor, where it evaporates.
