14HOW TO USE THE FREEZER

Control unit Adjustable feet Control unit 33502009GB.fm Page 17 Tuesday, October 27, 2009 12:58 PM

The freezer can be used for storing already frozen food and for freezing fresh food. Switching on the freezer for the first time

• There is no need to set the freezer temperature on the thermostat because the appliance is already factory set.

• Plug in the appliance.

• Only place food in the freezer 2 hours after switching on. Adjusting temperature From MIN to MAX: make the internal temperature colder.

• Thermostat setting indicator: MIN - for storing food for short periods; NORMAL - for storing food for longer periods; MAX - for storing food for long periods. Note: Ambient air temperature, the frequency of door opening and the position of the appliance can affect the freezer internal temperature. Take these factors into consideration when setting the thermostat knob. Freezing Place the amount of fresh food indicated on the rating plate in the middle compartment. Take care not to place the food directly in contact with food already frozen. It is advisable to maintain the thermostat position used in normal operation. Important: When freezing only small amounts of food, the food can be placed in any compartment, with the exception of the bottom drawer. NORMAL MAX MINTips for freezing and storing fresh food.

• Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for freezing fresh food.

• Food must be fresh and of prime quality.

• Fresh vegetables and fruit should preferably be frozen as soon as they are picked to maintain the full original nutritional value, consistency, colour and flavour. Note:

• Always leave hot food to cool before placing in the freezer.

• Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately. Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has thawed. Once cooked, the thawed food can be refrozen. Important: The table alongside shows the recommended maximum storage time for frozen fresh foods. Classification of frozen foods Put the frozen products into the freezer and classify them. The storage date should be indicated on the packs, to allow use within expiry dates. Advice for storing frozen food When purchasing frozen food products:

• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored under optimal conditions and defrosting may have already begun.

• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.

• Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer.

• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume within 24 hours.

• Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum. Respect the best-before date on the package.

• Always observe the storage guidelines on the frozen food packages. MONTHS FOOD 33502009GB.fm Page 18 Tuesday, October 27, 2009 12:58 PM

16HOW TO DEFROST AND CLEAN THE

FREEZER Removing the baskets

• Pull the baskets out fully, then lift them up slightly in order to remove. Note: Drawers may be removed in order to obtain increased storage space. Ensure that the load does not exceed the limit (if present) indicated on the side walls of the appliance. Making ice cubes

• Fill the ice cube tray 2/3 full and place it in the special freezer compartment.

• Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to detach the tray if it is stuck to the bottom of the freezer.

• Bend the ice tray slightly to remove the cubes. Note: The freezer door will not re-open easily immediately after closing. Wait a few minutes before opening again in order to allow for compensation of the vacuum created. Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, always unplug the appliance or disconnect it from the power supply. Defrost the freezer once or twice a year, or when the formation of ice on the refrigeration grilles is excessive. It is perfectly normal for ice to form on the grilles. The amount of ice which forms and the rate at which it accumulates will depends on room temperature and humidity, and on the frequency with which the door is opened. If possible, defrost the freezer when it is nearly empty.

• Remove the food from the freezer, wrap in newspaper and group together in a cool place or in a portable cooler.

• Leave the freezer door open to allow the frost to melt.

• Clean the interior of the freezer with a sponge and warm water and/or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive substances.

• Rinse the interior and dry thoroughly.

• Put the food back into the freezer.

• Close the freezer door.

• Plug in the appliance once again.

• Switch on the freezer. Fig. 1 33502009GB.fm Page 19 Tuesday, October 27, 2009 12:58 PM
