• Place the fresh food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
• The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate.
• The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.

Storing frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the product in the compartment, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.

Important! In the event of accidental defrosting, for example the power has been off for longer than the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after cooked).

Ice-cubes

This appliance may be equipped with one or more ice-cube trays.

Accessories: Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired.

Positioning the door balconies

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door balconies can be removed and placed at different heights. To make these adjustments, proceed as follows: gradually pull the balcony in the direction of the arrows until it comes free.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:

• The maximum quantity of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period.
• Prepare food in small portions to quicken the freezing process and only thaw the needed quantity.
• Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch already frozen food, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter.
• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food.
• Iced water, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause frostbite.
• It is advised to label the food you freeze with the date, so as to keep track of their storage time.

To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:

• make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer; - be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to the freezer in the shortest possible time; - not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary. - once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be re-frozen; - do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

- Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator.

- Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.

- Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelves above the vegetable drawer.

- For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.

• Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.

- Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.

- Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminum foil or polythene bags.

- Milk bottle(s): these should have a cap and should be stored in the balconies on the door.

- Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the fridge.

4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

For hygienic reasons, the interior of the appliance, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly.

Caution! Before carrying out any maintenance operation, disconnect the power supply.

Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical components, danger of electrical shock! Hot vapors can lead to the damage of plastic parts. The appliance must be dry before it is put back into service.

Important! Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or the juice from orange peel, butyric acid, or cleanser containing acetic acid.

• Do not allow such substances to come into contact with the appliance parts.
• Remove the food from the freezer. Cover them well and store them in a cool place.
• Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, switch off the circuit breaker, or turn off the fuse.
• Clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap. Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a strong odor.
• Once everything is dry, place the appliance back into service.

Replace the lamp

The internal light is a LED type. To replace the lamp, please contact qualified technician.

Defrosting of the freezer

The freezer compartment will progressively cover with frost, which must be removed. Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it. However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out as follows:

• Pull out the plug from the socket;
• Remove all stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place;
• Keep the door open, and place a basin underneath the appliance to collect the defrost water;
• When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly;
• Replace the plug in the power socket to run the appliance again.

Clean drain hole

To avoid having defrosted water from overflowing into the fridge, periodically clean the drain hole at the back of the fridge compartment. Use a cleaner to clean the hole as shown in the picture on the right.
