Food storage in the appliance

• The freezer is used for freezing fresh foods and for storing frozen foods for the period of time indicated on the packaging, and for making ice cubes.
• For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly - the packaging should be airtight and should not leak. Special freezer bags, aluminium foil (heavy grade; if in doubt doublewrap), polythene bags, and plastic containers are ideal.
• While freezing food, the maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance label.
• For optimum appliance performance in maximum freezing capacity, turn knob to the "5" position when placing fresh food in the freezer.

Accessories

- After placing fresh food in the freezer, the 24 hours setting on the "5" position is generally sufficient. After 24 hours, reset the thermostat to the desired position (Recommendation).

• Attention: in order to save energy, when freezing small amounts of food the fast freeze function can be deactivated.
• Do not allow fresh food to be frozen to come into contact with already frozen food.
• Always mark the date and the content on the pack and do not exceed the stated storage time.
• In case of a power failure or malfunction, the freezer compartment will maintain a sufficiently low temperature for food storage. However, avoid opening the freezer door in order to slow down the temperature rise within the freezer compartment.
• The maximum amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is indicated on the name plate (see Freezing Capacity).
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment.
• When purchasing and storing frozen food products, ensure that the packaging is not damaged.
• Storage time and recommended temperature for storing frozen food is indicated on the packaging. For storing and usage, follow the manufacturer's instructions. If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3 months.
• Following purchase, place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible.
• Once food is thawed it must not be refrozen; you must cook it as quickly as possible for consumption or freeze once again.
• When making ice cubes, fill the ice tray with water and place in the freezer compartment. After the water has completely turned into ice, twist the tray to get the ice cubes out.

Storage: if you want to use the freezer's maximum net capacity, remove the drawers and store the items directly on the cooling tubes. This will enable you to make use of the entire volume of the compartment.

General

• Do not pour water over the appliance.
• Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.
• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When the cleaning operations have been completed, reconnect the plug with dry hands.

Warning: never use sharp metal tools for this operation unless recommended by the manufacturer, as they can damage the freezing circuit.

General Defrosting the freezer

After a period of time, frost will build up in certain areas in the freezer compartment. The frost, accumulated in the freezer, should be removed periodically using the ice scraper (if available).

Ice scraper

To maintain the efficiency of the freezer, complete defrosting will become necessary if the frost layer exceeds 3-5mm.

• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position "5" to freeze the foods completely.
• During defrosting, 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.
• Set the thermostat knob to position “” and switch off the appliance.
• Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting. Remove the defrosted water from the compartment.
• If there is defrosted water on the freezer floor, you can clear it away by using a sponge.
• Clean the interior by hand with lukewarm water and a little detergent. Never use abrasive products or aggressive cleaning agents.
• Dry the inside of the unit, plug it into the mains, and set the thermostat knob to position "5". After 24 hours, reset the thermostat to the desired position.
