USING THE FRIDGE COMPARTMENT

GB

The temperature should nevertheless be regulated taking into account the following factors:

• the ambient temperature and the door opening frequency
• the quantity of food stored and the actual location of the appliance

Do not put very hot steaming food or drinks in the fridge. Cover or wrap the food, especially if it contains herbs or spices. Do not cover the shelves with paper or plastic as this would prevent the circulation of air through the shelves themselves.

Do not place food in contact with the evaporator as the paper wrap will stick to it and, during defrosting, could block the condensation drain hole.

The fridge defrosts automatically during normal operation: the water pro-

duced is collected through a drip system and evaporated by the heat from the compressor.

FRIDGE COMPARTMENT LIGHT

When the appliance is connected to the mains supply, the fridge compartment light switches on when the door is opened, and switches off when the door is closed.

Warning: make sure that the drain hole is not blocked.
N.B. If the door is left open for a long time, the light will switch off automatically. The light can only be switched on again after the door has been closed.

USO DELLO SCOMPARTO CONGELATORE

IT

The freezer compartment is switched on automatically

Once the appliance is switched on, approximately three hours are needed to reach the temperature at which frozen foods can be stored.

"SUPER" FUNCTION

This function has been designed to freeze foods quickly and must be activated when introducing foods in the freezer compartment. The super function is activated by pressing the SUPER button for at least 0.5 seconds and is indicated by the yellow "super" light. The super function switches off automatically after 24 hours. It can also be switched off manually at any time by pressing the super button for at least one second. During the 24 hours of the quick freeze function, the compressor operates in cycles of 65

minutes on and 35 minutes off.

"ECO" FUNCTION

The ECO function ensures that the food is stored in both compartments at the ideal temperature, producing a substantial saving in energy. The function is activated using potentiometer knob K and is indicated by the letter "E". When the ECO function is active, the blue "ECO" indicator lights up. The ECO function is switched off by rotating knob K until the blue indicator light switches off. If the SUPER function is switched on with the ECO function active, the SUPER function has priority. In this case, ECO function is switched off temporarily, together with the blue indicator light, until the appliance exits the SUPER mode.

DE GEBRAUCH DES GEFRIERTEILS

USO DELLO SCOMPARTO CONGELATORE

IT

The freezer has two distinct compartments:

• The top drawer, used for freezing fresh food.
• The bottom and centre drawers, used exclusively for storing frozen food. Prepare the food to be frozen in small portions (max 1 kg) for ease of freezing and eventual thawing. Wrap the food in purpose made polythene or aluminium foil, if possible airtight. Make a note of the date of freezing on the wrap and place it in the freezer drawer.

The thermostat setting does not need to be altered when freezing food. To make freezing easier and more efficient, follow the recommendations given below:

- The maximum quantity of fresh food to freeze is reported in kg/24 hrs on

the rating plate inside the fridge located on the left alongside the fruit and veg box.
- Divide the food to be frozen into small portions to ensure rapid freezing and defrosting of the quantity required.
- Avoid placing food to be frozen into contact with already frozen food to prevent the latter from increasing in temperature.

RACCOMANDAZIONI:

NEVER place ice cubes in the mouth or eat ice-lollies that have just been taken out of the freezer, as these can cause ice burns.

DO NOT place sealed containers containing liquids such as soft-drinks or similar in the freezer.

Hot foods and drinks must be allowed to cool before being placed in the freezer.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

It is impossible to accurately predict the effective storage period for frozen food in that this varies considerably according to the nature of the food itself.

To be safe, always follow the instructions reported on the packaging of fro-

zen food products

ICE-CUBE PRODUCTION

Fill the ice-tray 3/4 full with water. Place it in the sliding drawer (where fitted) in the freezer compartment.

GENERAL ADVICE:

Make sure that the packaging is intact and that there are no damp marks or swelling, in that these indicate that the frozen product may already have deteriorated.

Any food that has started to thaw out must not under any circumstances be re-frozen.

Do not store frozen foods for longer than the recommended time period.

SBRINAMENTO

IT

If a power cut should occur, try to establish its duration. If the forecast is less than 12 hours, leave the food in the freezer and keep the door closed. If the power cut lasts for longer than 12 hours and part of the food starts to thaw out, this should be consumed as soon as possible. Frost that forms on the cooling grids must be removed when it reaches a thickness of approximately 3-4 mm. Otherwise, the cold transfer will be impeded and the energy consumption will increase. The layer of frost must be removed using the plastic scraper supplied. Any damage caused by the use of the scraper is not covered by the guarantee.

Generally speaking, the freezer should be defrosted at least twice a year as follows:

- Remove the food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and place it in the fridge or in a cool location.

• Remember that an increase in the temperature of the food will greatly reduce its storage life.
• Remove the racks, ice-trays and leave the door open.
• Use a sponge to mop up the water that collects at the bottom of the appliance.
• To accelerate the defrosting action, scrape off the layer of frost using the spatula supplied.

WARNING! Do not use any mechanical devices or other artificial methods other than those recommended by the manufacturer for accelerating the defrosting process.

WARNING: Unless otherwise approved by the manufacturer, do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartment.
