FREEZING FOOD

Preparation of fresh food for freezing

Before freezing food inside the cavity please

check that the product is set as freezer (see

“Temperature adjustment” paragraph) and red

light doesn’t light up.

• Beforefreezing,wrapandsealfreshfoodin:

aluminiumfoil,clingfilm,airandwater-tightplastic

bags,polyethylenecontainerswithlids,provided

theyaresuitableforfreezingfoods.

• Foodmustbefresh,matureandofprimequalityin

ordertoobtainhighqualityfrozenfood.

• Freshvegetablesandfruitshouldpreferablybe

frozenassoonastheyarepickedtomaintainthe

fulloriginalnutritionalvalue,consistency,colourand

flavour.

• Alwaysleavehotfoodtocoolbeforeplacinginthe

appliance.

 B)-foodsalreadyfrozen.

• Avoidplacingfoodstobefrozenindirectcontact

• Forbestandfastestfreezing,foodsshouldbesplit

intosmallportions;thiswillalsobeusefulwhenthe

FROZEN FOOD STORAGE

Refer to the table on the appliance.

Classification of frozen foods

Loadandclassifythefrozenfoods;itisadvisable

toindicatethestoragedateonthepacks,toensure

consumptionbeforetheexpirydateslistedinmonths

inFig.6foreachtypeoffood.

Advice for storing frozen food

Before putting frozen food inside the cavity

please check that the product is set as freezer

(see “Temperature adjustment” paragraph) and

red light doesn’t light up. When buying frozen

food, make sure that:

• Thepackagingisintact(foodindamagedcontainers

mayhavedeteriorated).Ifapackageisswollen

orhasdamppatches,theproductmaynothave

beenstoredinoptimumconditionsandtherefore

undergonepartialdefrosting.

• Whenshopping,leavefrozenfoodpurchasesuntil

lastandcarrytheminathermallyinsulatedbag.

• Onarrivinghome,immediatelyplacethefrozenfood

intheappliance.

• Avoidorminimisetemperaturevariations.Observe

theexpirydateonthepackaging.

• Alwaysfollowthestorageinstructionsonfrozen

foodpackages.

Note:

•

Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately.

Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after

it has thawed. Once cooked, the food can be

refrozen.

• In case of a prolonged power failure: Do not

open the appliance door, except to place ice

packs (if provided) over the frozen foods on

the right and left side of the appliance. This will

slow down the rise in temperature.

COOLER USE

Before switching from freezer use to cooler use

please:

1-checkthatfrozenfoodisnotpresentinsidethe

cavitytoavoidunwantedfooddefrosting

2-defrostandcleantheproducttoavoidwater

stagnationonthebottom

Note: theambienttemperature,thedooropening

frequencyandthepositionoftheappliancemayaffect

temperaturesinsidethetwocompartments.Setthe

temperatureinaccordancewiththesefactors.

Note:whenthereisalotofmoistureinsidethe

refrigeratorcompartmentandontheglassshelves

inparticular,condensationmayform.Inthiscase,

werecommendclosinganyliquid-filledcontainers

(e.g.:saucepansfullofstock),wrappingfoodswitha

highliquidcontent(e.g.:vegetables)andsettingthe

temperaturetoawarmervalue.

Before switching from cooler use to freezer use

please:

1- check that food or bottles are not present

inside the cavity to avoid unwanted food

frosting or bottle cracking.

WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS NOT IN USE

• Disconnecttheappliancefromthemainspower

supply,thenempty,defrost(ifnecessary)andclean

it.Leavethedoorsopen,sothataircancirculate

insidethecompartments.Thiswillpreventthe

formationofmouldandbadodoursandanoxidation

(blackening)ofinternalwalls.

• This appliance features “skin condenser”

technology: the condensing unit is integrated

into the walls of the freezer. For this reason

the side and front walls of the product may

become hot while the product is running. This

is entirely normal and also reduces the risk of

condensation forming in particularly critical

environmental conditions (see paragraph

“Troubleshooting guide”).

APPLIANCE DEFROSTING

Theapplianceshouldbedefrostedwhenthethickness

• Removethefrostfromthebottomoftheappliance.

• In order to avoid permanent damage to the

appliance interior, do not use pointed or sharp

metal instruments to remove the ice.

• Do not use abrasive products or heat up the

interior artificially.

• Dry the inside of the appliance thoroughly.

• Refittheplugafterdefrosting.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Removethefrostfromtheupperedges(see

TroubleshootingGuide).

• Cleantheinsideafterdefrosting,usingasponge

dampenedwithwarmwaterand/ormilddetergent.

• Cleanthesidevent(ifprovided).

Unplug the appliance before carrying out

maintenance operations. Do not use abrasive

products, scourers or stain-removers (e.g.

acetone, trichloroethylene) to clean the appliance.

To obtain the best results from your appliance,

carry out cleaning and maintenance at least once

a year.
