Freezing tips

To help you optimise the freezing process, here are some important tips:

• The maximum amount of food that you can freeze every 24 hours can be found on the ID plate.
  • The freezing process takes 24 hours. Do not add any more food to freeze during this time.
• Only freeze good quality, fresh and properly washed food.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required.

• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight.

• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid raising their temperature.

• Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, may cause frost burns to the skin.
  • We recommend labelling and dating each frozen package.
• To obtain ice cubes faster, we recommend placing the ice cube trays in the top drawer.

Thawing food

• Before eating, frozen or deep frozen food may be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at ambient temperature, depending on the time available.
• Some food may also be cooked directly when taken out of the freezer, while it is still frozen. In this case, cooking will take longer.

Important In the event of accidental thawing, caused for example by a power break, quickly eat the thawed food. Never refreeze thawed food.

Hints for the storage of frozen food

To guarantee optimum performance, comply with the following instructions:

• Ensure that frozen food has been stored correctly by the food retailer.
• Ensure that frozen food is quickly carried from the retailer to your freezer.
• Do not open the door too often or avoid leaving the door open longer than necessary.
• Once thawed, food will deteriorate rapidly and should never be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage states shown on the food.

Warning! Always unplug your appliance before any maintenance work. Never pull on the power cord, but only on the plug itself.

Cleaning

For hygiene reasons, regularly clean the appliance (sidewalls and interior and exterior accessories).

Important! Ethereal oils and organic solvents can damage plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice, butyric acid or acetic acid.

• Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts.
• Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
• Remove food from the appliance. Store it in a cool place and keep well covered.
  • After cleaning them, rinse surfaces with clear water and dry them.
  • After everything is dry, plug the appliance back into the plug.

- Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water with a diluted white vinegar or bicarbonate of soda solution.

i Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner.

Cleaning the drain

To stop the defrost water from running into the refrigerator, clean the drain at the back of the refrigerator part from time to time. To do this, use a cleaning product as shown in the diagram on the right.

Replacing the light

This product contains a light source whose the energy efficiency class is G.

The light inside the fridge uses a LED. To replace it, please contact your after sales service or an approved technician.

You will find all the information you need to contact our authorized technicians and our after-sales service in the “CONTACTS & INFORMATION” section.

Defrosting the freezer (If your model is No Frost Model, you don't need to defrost it)

Warning! No thawed food may be replaced in the freezer. Place it in the refrigerator then eat it quickly.

A thin coating of frost will slowly form on the inside walls of the freezer. This layer should be removed. Never use a sharp object as it could damage the appliance.

For hygiene and food conservation reasons, we recommend defrosting the freezer at least once a year by proceeding as follows:

• Pull out the mains plug from the mains socket.

• Remove any food from the compartment and place it in a special container to ensure that there is no break in the cold chain (e.g. in an ice box or insulated bag, etc.).

• Leave the freezer door open (NB: leave the refrigerator door closed) and place a basin under the appliance to recover the water from defrosting. You can also speed up this process by placing a bowl of hot water inside the compartment.

• Once defrosting is complete, dry the inside properly.
• Plug the power cord back in to return the appliance to service.
• Wait until the freezer has reached the recommended temperature before putting the food back in it.

Refreezing a thawed product encourages the spread of bacteria. This may become a health hazard if the bacteria that spreads are pathogens, as these may cause more or less serious food poisoning depending on the type of bacteria involved. If in doubt, cook the food involved.
