How to use your
Refrigerator-Freezer
Refrigerator Compartment:
This compartment is meant for keeping
drinks and fresh food.
The inner temperature is quite equalized.
Avoid food touching inner walls, as the cold is
being produced in there and the food could partly
get frozen. On the other hand this would avoid a
perfect circulation of the cold air.
This appliance is provided with an automatic
defrosting divice. You therfore might find someti-
mes a fine layer of ice or water drops.
Useful Hints
Do not introduce any new food during a free-
zing period.
Do not put any newly introduced food for fre-
ezing near to already frozen food.
Wrap the food up properly or place it in her-
methic recipies before introducing it into the
freezer.
Do not introduce any hot food into the freezer.
Food and drinks of a strong flavour may pass
this on to others and affect their flavour. Wrap
them up adequately or put them into tight clo-
sing bags.
Follow the instructions given in the cook
books, freezing books and wrapping utensiles
for better conservation of food.
Freezer Compartment
This freezer, marked , is suitable for
freezing food and permits long term storage of
frozen food. The appliance must be connected
for at least 3 hours before introducing food.
Freezing of food
1... Place food on the upper grill.
2... Maintain food for at least 24 hours in that posi-
tion.
The maximum quantity to be frozen within 24
hours is shown on the «Rating Plate», depen-
ding on the model.
Conservation of frozen food
For a safe storage of food the temperature inside
should never rise above -18°C.
An ajustable thermostat is regulating this temperatu-
re automatically.
Make sure the «Temperature Regulator» is on a
medium setting.
However, it may sometimes be necessary (due to
poor ventilation, high roon temperature, frequent
opening of the door) to graduate the setting of the
«Temperature Regulator».
In case of an accidental stop of the appliance or a
power cut proceed as follows:
Keep the doors closed at all events.
Try to find out for how long the failure will conti-
nue.
Once reestablished to normality:
A) If the freezer is fully loaded and the power failure
is less than the time indicated on the «Rating
Plate» no damage has been done to the food sto-
red.
B) If the freezer is failed loaded the «rising of the
temperature» is reduced. If thawing has not yet
started proceed as said in previous point «A».
C) If thawing has started, consume the food inme-
diately, or cook it and then freezen it again.

Maintenance of your
Refrigerator-Freezer

Defrosting of the freezer
The inner walls of the freezer become gradually
covered with a layer of frost keeping in mind not to
open the door frequently and keeping the food wrap-
ped up in closed bags.
Whenever the thickness of ice reaches 5 mm. the
frost should be removed. Here to proceed as
follows:
1... Remove all food staff and place it in the coolest
possible place.
2Never pull up the sticked ice, you must wait untill
it is melted, when the ice is soft you can remove
it by helping yourself with a plastic ice-scraper,
never use sharp objects, or heating households
