ETNA VV2143WIT - Recommended distribution - 1

natural_image Open refrigerator with three compartments and one checked (no text or symbols visible)

ETNA VV2143WIT - Recommended distribution - 2

Do not store lettuce, eggs, apples, pears, grapes, peaches, yoghurt, buttermilk, sour cream or mayonnaise in the frozen compartment.

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.
  • 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.

Freezing and storing foods in the frozen compartment

Important recommendations for freezing fresh food

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

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

  • The day before you want to freeze large amounts of fresh food at the same time, you can set the thermostat knob to the lowest temperature setting. Set the thermostat knob to the normal position when the food is frozen.
  • Distribute the fresh food equally between all the drawers in the freezer.
  • 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.

ETNA VV2143WIT - Recommended storage times of frozen food in the frozen compartment - 1

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

Thawing 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.

Defrosting the appliance

After a period of time, frost will build up in certain areas in the frozen compartment. The frost, accumulated in the frozen compartment, should be removed periodically. If the frost layer exceeds 3-5 mm, it is necessary to defrost the frozen compartment completely to maintain the efficiency of the frozen compartment.

ETNA VV2143WIT - Defrosting the appliance - 1

The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to the lowest temperature setting to freeze the foods completely.

  • Before 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.
  • Switch off the appliance.
  • Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting. Remove the defrost water from the compartment.
  • Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health.
  • Water collected at the bottom basket of the appliance should be mopped with a sponge or highly absorbing cloth.
  • Clean the interior of the appliance by hand with lukewarm water and a little detergent. Never use abrasive products or aggressive cleaning agents.
  • Dry the interior of the appliance, plug on the mains, and set the thermostat knob to the lowest temperature setting. After 24 hours, set the thermostat to the normal position.

ETNA VV2143WIT - Defrosting the appliance - 2
