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

• 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

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
oficeonthewallsreaches5-6mm.
• Disconnecttheappliancefromthepowersupply.

detachthefrostfromtheappliancewalls.
• 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.
