How to use your

Refrigerator-Freezer

RReeffrriiggeerraattoorr CCoommppaarrttmmeenntt::

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.

UUsseeffuull HHiinnttss

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.

FFrreeeezzeerr CCoommppaarrttmmeenntt

hours is shown on the «Rating Plate», depen-

ding on the model.

CCoonnsseerrvvaattiioonn ooff ffrroozzeenn ffoooodd

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.
