OPERATING THE APPLIANCEEN 23

If you press the cubed key after using the crushed key, a small amount of remaining crushed ice may fall into your glass. If you do not need ice, you can switch off the ice maker to save water and energy. When ice cubes fall into the reservoir, it is normal to hear noises. The first batch of ice cubes after installation may be small, because air has entered the water pipe. In normal use, all air is removed. If the ice cubes are still small, check that the water is circulating in the pipe and that the water pressure is high. If the appliance is switched off for too long, the ice in the reservoir melts and the water drips onto the floor. To prevent this, you must remove all the ice from the reservoir (see ‘Maintenance’). If no ice comes out of the dispenser, check whether there is ice stuck in the outlet and remove it. Or check whether there are ice cubes clumped together in the reservoir and remove them (see ‘Maintenance’). Also, if you do not remove ice from the dispenser for a long period of time, the ice in the reservoir may start to clump. Do not use the dispenser for ice delivery for more than 1 minute at a time. This prevents the ice maker’s motor from getting too hot. Switching off the ice maker If you do not need ice, you can switch off the ice maker to save water and energy.

1. Press the ice maker key.

▷ The pictogram is illuminated. ▷ The ice maker is switched off. Only the ice maker is switched off; the dispenser still delivers water.

STORING AND FREEZING FOOD

Avoid contamination of food To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:

• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.

• Regularly clean surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.

• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.

• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance. Storing fresh food in the refrigerator Important recommendations for storing fresh food

• To ensure the quality of fresh food, it is important that: ▷ the food is well-packaged; ▷ the appliance is at the correct temperature; ▷ the appliance is clean.

• Take good note of the use-by date stated on the food packaging.

• Put food in the refrigerator in sealed containers or in suitable packaging. This will prevent the food from picking up or spreading odours and will keep it dry.

• Do not store flammable, unstable or explosive materials in the refrigerator.

• Store bottles that have been opened upright and close them tightly.

• Some organic solutions, such as essential oils, in the skin of lemons and oranges, and butyric acid, that come into long-term contact with plastics can eat into the material and cause premature ageing.

• A disagreeable odour is an indication that the appliance is not clean or that it contains food that has spoiled (see the chapter ‘Maintenance’).

• Take perishable foods out of the refrigerator when you will be away from home for a longer time.EN 26 Freezing and storing foods in the freezer Important recommendations for freezing fresh food

• The maximum quantity of food that you can put in the freezer in one go is stated on the type plate. Putting more than this maximum quantity of food into the freezer will slow the freezing process and reduce the quality. Moreover, this will also degrade the quality of frozen food already stored in the freezer.

• Use only good-quality fresh food that is suitable for freezing.

• Allow hot food to cool to room temperature.

• Food needs to be frozen quickly. It is recommended that you use small packs.

• Use air and watertight packaging to prevent the food from drying out and lose its vitamins.

• Note the type and quantity of the food on the packaging, together with the date on which it was frozen.

• Do not allow fresh food to come into contact with frozen food.

• You can remove all the drawers to make use of the total volume of the freezer compartment. Put the food directly on a shelf and on the base of the freezer. Freezing small quantities of fresh food/making ice cubes See the chapter ‘Recommended distribution’ for the best location for freezing fresh food (1 to 2 kilograms) and making ice cubes. Freezing large quantities of fresh food

• Activate the intensive freezing function 24 hours before you plan to freeze the food.

• Distribute the fresh food equally between all the drawers in the freezer compartment.

• After 24 hours, you can transfer the food to another compartment in the freezer and then freeze a new batch of food. Important recommendations for storing frozen food

• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the storage and use of frozen food. Take note of the recommended storage temperature and use-by date stated on the packaging.

• Use only food in undamaged packaging that has been stored at a temperature of -18 °C or lower.

• Do not buy food covered in frost. This indicates that the food has thawed or partially thawed several times and, as a result, is of inferior quality.

• Make sure that the food does not thaw during transport. An increase in its temperature will shorten the storage life and harm the quality of the food.

Recommended storage times of frozen food in the freezer Type of food Storage life Fruit, beef 10 to 12 months Vegetables, veal, poultry 8 to 10 months Venison 6 to 8 months Pork 4 to 6 months Finely chopped or minced meat 4 months Bread, pastas, cooked dishes, whitefish 3 months Offal 2 months Smoked sausage, bluefish 1 month Defrosting frozen food

• Thawing is an important step in storing food preserved by freezing. Food must be thawed in the correct way.

• Suitable methods of thawing food are: ▷ in the refrigerator; ▷ in cold water; ▷ in a microwave or conventional oven with a suitable thaw program.

• Some frozen products can be prepared without needing to thaw them first. The manufacturer will state this on the packaging.

• The food needs to be packed in small portions. In this way the food thaws faster.

• Use partially or completely thawed food as quickly as possible. The bacteria in thawed food are reactivated and the food will spoil rapidly. This applies in particular to fruit, vegetables and ready-made food.

• Do not refreeze partially or completely thawed food.EN 28 MAINTENANCE Defrosting the appliance Automatic defrost of the refrigeration compartment The refrigeration compartment defrosts automatically from time to time. Defrosting of the NoFrost freezer The NoFrost freezer defrosts automatically. Any frost deposits will then disappear. Any ice or frost deposits that nevertheless form in the freezer compartment can be caused by unusual use of the appliance (opening the door too often and too long or poorly sealing door, etc.). The freezer will then need to be defrosted manually. Switch off the appliance in the event of extreme ice formation. Remove the food in the freezer and protect it so that it cannot partially or completely thaw. Clean and dry the interior of the freezer. Switch on the appliance and adjust the temperature to the required setting before you put the food back into the freezer. Cleaning the appliance Switch off the appliance and remove the plug from the socket before you start cleaning it. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, as they can damage the surface. Activate the intensive freezing function 24 hours before you plan to clean the freezer.

• Before cleaning, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life. Remember to use these foods within a relatively short period of time.

• Regularly clean the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water. If so required, add a neutral cleaning agent or special refrigerator cleaner to the water. Clean all surfaces with a soft cloth. Wipe the cleaned parts with a cloth with clean water and then dry them thoroughly.

• Do not put parts of the appliance in a dishwasher: this could damage them.EN 29 MAINTENANCE
