The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate, a label located on the inside of the appliance.

The freezing process lasts 24 hours, during this period do not add other food to be frozen.

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).

5.7 Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.

6. HINTS AND TIPS

6.1 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.

6.2 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.

6.3 Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator.
  Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.

5.8 Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes.

i

Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.

1. Fill these trays with water
2. Put the ice trays in the freezer compartment.

5.9 Cold accumulators

The freezer contains at least one cold accumulator which increases storage time in the event of a power cut or breakdown.

• Position food so that air can circulate freely around it.

6.4 Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:

• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable packaging and place it on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
  Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and place on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly and place in a special drawer. Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic must not be kept in the refrigerator if not packed.
  Butter and cheese: place in a special airtight container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible.
• Bottles: close with a cap and place on the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack.

6.5 Hints for freezing

• Freeze only top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned food products.

• For more efficient freezing and thawing divide food into small portions.

• Wrap the food in aluminium foil or polythene. Make sure that the packages are airtight.

• To avoid increase in temperature of already frozen food, do not place fresh unfrozen food directly next to it.
• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones. Salt reduces the storage life of food.
• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.
  It is advisable to show the freezing date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time.

7. CARE AND CLEANING
