Intensivecooling/freezing(SuperCool/FastFreeze)

This appliance has an intensive cooling/freezing function. This function decreases the temperatures in therefrigeration compartment and freezer compartment as quickly as possible. Activate this function 24 hours before you put a large quantity off fresh food in the appliance.

INFORMATION!

When the intensive cooling/freezing function is selected, the appliance works at maximum capacity. It may then make more noise for awhile.

48h A

- Switching on the intensive cooling/freezing: Rotate the A dial to position. ✗48h

INFORMATION!

When the intensive cooling/freezing function is activated, temperature may below other than the refrigerator and the freezer compartment.

INFORMATION!

When the intensive cooling/freezing function is activated, the appliance will operate with maximum power. During this time, operation may be somewhat louder.

INFORMATION!

When the intensive cooling/freezing function is not manually disabled, then the function will be automatically disabled after about two days. The temperature then return to the latest temperature setting.

Avoidcontaminationoffood

To avoid contamination off food, pleaserespect the following instructions:

• Openingthedoorforlongperiodscancauseasignificantincreaseofthetemperatureinthe compartmentsoftheappliance.
• Regularlycleansurfacethatcancomeincontactwithfoodandaccessibledrainagesystems.

- Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with ordripontootherfood.

- If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leavethedooropentopreventmoulddevelopingwithintheappliance.

Storingfreshfoodintherefrigerator Importantrecommendationsforstoringfreshfood

• To ensure the quality off fresh food, it is important that:

-thefoodiswell-packaged;
-theapplianceisatthecorrecttemperature;
-theapplianceisclean.

•Takegoodnoteoftheuse-bydatestatedonthefoodpackaging.
- Put food in the refrigerator in sealed containers or in suitable packaging. This will prevent the foodfrompickinguporspreadingodoursandwillkeepitdry.
- Donotstoreflammable, unstableorexplosivematerialsintherefrigerator.
- Storebottlesthathavebeenopeneduprightandclosethemtightly.

• Some organic solutions, such as essential oils, in the skin of lemons and oranges, and butyric acid, that come intolong-term contact with plastics can eat into thematerial and cause premature ageing.
• A disagreeable odour is an indication that the appliance is not clean or that it contains food that hasspoiled(seethechapter'Maintenance').
  • Take perishable foods out of the refrigerator when you will be away from home for a longer time.

Important recommendations for storing frozen food

• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the storage and use of frozen food. Take note of the recommendedstoragetemperatureanduse-bydatestatedonthepackaging.
• Useonlyfoodinundamagedpackagingthathasbeenstoredatatemperatureof-18°Cor lower.
• Donotbuyfoodcoveredinfrost. 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 thestoragelifeandharmthequalityofthefood.

Thawingfrozenfood

• Thawing is an important step in storing food preserved by freezing. Food must be thawed in the correctway.
• Suitablemethodsofthawingfoodare:

-intherefrigerator;
-incoldwater;
-inamicrowaveorconventionalovenwithasuitablethawprogram.

Storingandfreezingfood

• Somefrozenproductscanbepreparedwithoutneedingtothawthemfirst.Themanufacturer willstatethisonthepackaging.
• Thefoodneedstobepackedinsmallportions.Inthiswaythefoodthawsfaster.
• 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.
• Donotrefreezepartiallyorcompletelythawedfood.
