AMBIENT TEMPERATUE

This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperature between 10^ C and 38^ C. If these temperatures are exceeded, i.e. colder or warmer, the appliance will not operate correctly. If the ambient temperatures are exceeded for long periods, the temperature in the freezer compartment will rise above -18^ C and food spoilage may occur.

Before placing food in the appliance

• Remove all packaging.
• Allow the appliance to run empty for 2 - 3 hours so the compartment can cool to the appropriate temperature.
• Clean the inside of the appliance with warm water and a little liquid detergent to remove manufacturing and transportation dust.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• Good temperature setting that ensures preservation of fresh food is a temperature less than or equal to +4^ .
• Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life of food.
• Cover the food with packaging to preserve its freshness and aroma.
• Always use closed containers for liquids and for food, to avoid flavours or odours in the compartment.
• To avoid the cross-contamination between cooked and raw food, cover the cooked food and separate it from the raw one.
• It is recommended to defrost the food inside the fridge.
• Do not place hot food inside the appliance. Make sure it has cooled down at room temperature before placing it inside the appliance.

Hints for refrigeration

• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable packaging and place it in the refrigerator. Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly (eliminate the soil) and place them

in the refrigerator.

• It is advisable not to keep the exotic fruits like bananas, mangos, papayas etc. in the refrigerator.
• Vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and garlic should not be kept in the refrigerator.
• Butter and cheese: place in an airtight container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible.
• Bottles: close them with a cap and place them on the door bottle shelf.
• Always refer to the expiry date of the products to know how long to keep them.

To deactivate this mode, repeatedly pressMODE until the mode symbol diappears from the display. The temperature display for fridge and freezer compartments will return to the previous setting.

Super freezing mode

This mode will help food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and appearance.

Repeatedly press MODE until the mode symbol washes. After 5 seconds, the appliance has entered Super freezing mode and the Super freezing mode symbol is lit steadily on the display.

The appliance will automatically adjust the temperature in the freezer compartment to the coldest level -25°C.

• This mode will be automatically deactivated after 50 hours of operation.
• To manually deactivate this mode, repeatedly press MODE until no mode symbol ✦ appears on the display.

NOTE:

• If you plan to freeze a large quantity of fresh food at the same time, it is recommended that you set Super freezing mode 24 hours ahead.
• In Super freezing mode, the appliance will work hard, which means the running noises will be slightly louder than during normal operation.

Power failure

If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the power failure lasts for less than 9.5 hours.

Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat.

Freezing and storing food in the freezer compartment

Using the freezer compartment

• To store deep-frozen food
- To make ice cubes
- To freeze food

Note: Ensure that the freezer compartment door has been closed properly.

Purchasing frozen food

• Packaging must not be damaged.
• Use by the 'use by/best before/best by/' date.
• If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment.

Storing frozen food

Store at -18^ C or colder. Avoid opening the freezer compartment door unnecessarily.

Freezing fresh food

Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.

To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing.

Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching.

Note: Keep food to be frozen away from food which is already frozen.

• The following foods are suitable for freezing:
  Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese and butter, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts.

  Types of vegetables, which are usually consumed raw, such as lettuce or

radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, and mayonnaise.

Packing frozen food

To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place food in airtight packaging.

1. Place food in packaging.
2. Remove air.
3. Seal the wrapping.
4. Label packaging with contents and dates of freezing.

Suitable packaging:

Plastic film, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminium foil.

These products are available from specialist outlets.

Recommended storage times of frozen food in the freezer compartment

These times vary depending on the type of food. The food that you freeze can be preserved from 1 to 12 months (minimum at -18°C).

Never forget:

• When you freeze fresh foods with a 'use by/best before/best by/' date, you must freeze them before this date expires.
• Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not be refrozen.
• Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly.

Making ice cubes

Fill the ice cube tray (not supplied) with 3/4 full of drinking water and place in the freezer compartment.

If the ice cube tray is stuck to the compartment, loosen with a blunt tool only. To loosen the ice cubes, twist the ice cube tray slightly or hold briefly under flowing water.

• Securely tape down all loose items inside your refrigerator freezer.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the refrigerator freezer stays in the upright position during transportation.
• If the appliance is turned off for any reason, wait for 10 minutes before turning it back on. This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalise before restarting.

Energy saving tips

For the most energy efficient use of your appliance:

• Ensure your refrigerator freezer has adequate ventilation as recommended in the installation instructions.
• Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.
• Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator compartment and use the low temperature of the frozen food to cool refrigerated food

The symbol indicates the location of the coldest part of your refrigerator. This area is in between the vegetable compartment at the bottom and the symbol at the top, or the shelf at the same height.

In order to maintain the temperature in this area, make sure not to change the position of this shelf.

In forced air refrigerators (equipped with a fan or No Frost models), the coldest area symbol is not shown because the temperature is uniform throughout the interior.

INSTALLING THE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR

To help you adjust your refrigerator correctly, it is equipped with a temperature indicator that you can use to control the average temperature in the coldest area.

WARNING: This indicator is only intended for use in your refrigerator. Do not use it in another refrigerator (as the coldest area will not be the same) or for any other purpose.

CHECKING THE TEMPERATURE IN THE COLDEST AREA

Using the temperature indicator, you should regularly check that the temperature is correct in the coldest part of your refrigerator. The temperature inside your refrigerator depends on a number of factors, such as the outside room temperature, how full your refrigerator is, and how often you open the door. Take these factors into consideration when adjusting your appliance.

When the indicator shows "OK", it means your thermostat is set properly and the temperature inside your refrigerator is correct.

If the indicator is white it means the temperature is too high, so you should increase the thermostat setting and wait for 12 hours before checking the indicator again.

After loading the refrigerator or opening the door, the indicator may turn white for a few seconds.

Correct setting

Temperature too high, adjust the thermostat
