ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food, for storing frozen foods for the period of time indicated on packaging and for making ice cubes.

Do not put fresh and warm food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food. While freezing fresh foods (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat) divide them in portions you will use in a single serving. For storing frozen foods, the instructions shown on frozen food packages should always be followed carefully. If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date. When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing is intact. Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest possible time. If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal swelling it is probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated. The storage life of frozen foods depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated. Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and any other food which needs to be frozen quickly) more quickly because of the freezing shelf’s greater freezing power. Fast freezing shelves are the bottom drawers of the freezer compartment. While freezing food use the bottom drawer.

Some recommendations have been specified on pages 9, 10 and 11 for the placement and storage of your food in the deep freeze compartment.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.

Do not clean the appliance by pouring water. Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical components. The refrigerator should be cleaned periodically using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water. Clean the accessories separately with soap and water Do not clean them in the dishwasher. Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When you have finished cleaning, reconnect the plugto the mains supply with dry hands. Clean the condenser with a broom at least twice a year. This will help you to save on energy costs and increase productivity.

!! The power supply must be disconnected.

Defrosting the Your Freezer

Small amounts of frost will accumulate inside the freezer, depending upon the length of time for which the door is left open or the amount of moisture introduced. It is essential to ensure that no frost or ice is allowed to form in places where it will affect the close fitting of the door seal. This might allow air to penetrate the cabinet, encouraging continuous running of the compressor. Thin frost formation is quite soft and can be removed with a brush or plastic scraper. Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process. Remove all dislodged frost from the cabinet floor. It is not necessary to switch off the appliance for the removal of thin frost.

For the removal of heavy ice deposits, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and empty the contents into cardboard boxes and wrap in thick blankets or layers of paper to keep cold. Defrosting will be most effective if carried out when the freezer is nearly empty and should be carried out as quickly as possible to prevent undue increase in temperature of the contents. Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process. An increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting will shorten the storage life. If the contents are well wrapped and placed in a cool area they should keep for several hours. Dry the inside of the compartment with a sponge or a clean cloth. To accelerate the defrosting process, place one or more bowls of warm water in the freezer compartment. Examine the contents when replacing them in the freezer and if some of the packages have thawed out they should be eaten within 24hours, or be cooked and re-frozen. After defrosting has finished, clean the inside of the appliance with a solution of warm water with a little bicarbonate of soda and then dry thoroughly. Wash all removable parts in the same way and reassemble. Reconnect the appliance to the mains supply and leave for 2 to 3 hours on setting number 3 before introducing the food back into the freezer.

TRANSPORTATION AND CHANGING OF INSTALLATION POSITION Transportation and changing of Installation position

The original packages and foamed polystyrene (PS) can be retained if required.

During transportation, the appliance should be secured with a wide string or a strong rope. The instructions written on the corrugated box must be followed while transporting. Before transporting or changing the installation position, all the moving objects (ie, drawer, Ice trays, …) shouldbe taken out or fixed with bands in order to preventthem from getting damaged.

!! Carry your freezer in the upright position.

Repositioning the door

It is not possible to change the opening direction of your fridge door, if the door handles on your fridge are installed from the front surface of the door.

It is possible to change the opening direction of the door on models without any handles. If the door opening direction of your fridge can be changed, you should contact the nearest Authorised Service to have the opening direction changed.

BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE If your refrigerator is not operating as expected, check the solutions listed below before calling an electrician or the after sales service.

What to do if your refrigerator does not operate:
