Defrosting the Freezer compartment Freezerdefrostprocess

• Small amounts of frost will accumulate inside the freezer depending upon the length of time during 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 at places where it will affect the close tting of the door seal. This might allow air to penetrate the cabinet, thus 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 oor. For the removal of thin frost it is not necessary to switch off the appliance.

• 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 them cold. Defrosting will be most effective if carried out when the freezer is nearly empty, and it 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 packages during defrosting will shorten the storage life. Provided that 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 basins 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 it should be eaten within 24 hours or be cooked and re-frozen.

• After defrosting has nished clean the inside 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 24 before introducing the food back into the freezer.

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen food for long periods of time and making ice cubes.

• Do not put fresh and warm food to the freezer door shelves to be frozen. Only use for storage of frozen food.

• Do not put fresh and warm food with frozen food side by side as it can thaw the frozen food.

• While freezing fresh food (i.e. meat, sh and mincemeat) divide them in parts in order to use in one time.

• For storing the frozen food; the instructions shown on frozen food packages should always be followed carefully and 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 food 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 package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.

• While freezing food; Maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance label.

• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, after loading the fresh food into freezer press SF button. When the SF mode nishes, freezer will continue to operate according to last set value. Attention; In order to save energy, When freezing small amounts of food, reset the set value to desired value to desired position. (Recommendation) For A++ models; If freezer has a shelf that indicated with (**) symbol is suitable for storing ice cream and frozen food with short storage time. The top shelf of your freezer that indicated with (**) symbol is suitable for storing ice cream and frozen food with short storage time.EN

• Original package and foam may be kept for re- transportation (optionally).

• You should fasten your fridge with thick package, bands or strong cords and follow the instructions for transportation on the package for re-transportation.

• Remove movable parts (shelves, accessories, vegetable bins etc.) or x them into the fridge against shocks using bands during re-positioning and transportation. Carryyourfridgeintheuprightposition. Repositioning the door
