To avoid food contamination, follow the instructions below:
•Prolonged opening of the door can significantly increase the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance: only open the door for the time required to place /
remove food.
•Regularly clean surfaces that may come into contact with food and accessible drainage
systems.
•Store fresh meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator so that they do not
come into contact with or drip on other food.
•If the appliance is left empty for a long time, switch it off, defrost, clean, dry and leave
the door open to prevent mold from forming inside the appliance.
Freezing of foodstuffs
Food to be frozen should first be allowed to cool off to room temperature and then should
be placed in one row at the bottom of the freezer compartment.
Set the thermostat knob to setting number 7. When the products are frozen after 24
hours, re-set the thermostat knob to its initial position.
•DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM QUANTITY OF FROZEN PRODUCTS INDICATED IN THE
Product data sheet (Product Fiche).
•Do not place unwrapped foodstuffs in the freezer sections.
•Do not refreeze partly thawed products. Fresh food
for freezing should not touch already frozen foodstuffs.
•Do not freeze foodstuffs that are warmer than the room
temperature.
•WARNING! Do not freeze liquid foodstuffs in glass vessels
or bottles.
•Strictly observe the frozen foodstuffs validity dates
indicated by the manufacturer on the product packaging.
•WE RECOMMEND THAT FROZEN FISH AND SAUSAGE
SHOULD BE STORED IN THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
NOT LONGER THAN 6 MONTHS; CHEESE, POULTRY, PORK,
LAMB –NOT MORE THAN 8 MONTHS; BEEF, FRUIT AND
VEGETABLES –NOT LONGER THAN 12 MONTHS.
ATTENTION! To prevent frost from forming too quickly on the freezer
compartment evaporator and doorframe, make sure the freezer
compartment door is shut properly.
CAUTION! In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if 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 refrozen (after cooling).
DEFROSTING, CLEANING AND CARE
THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT DEFROSTS AUTOMATICALLY. Drops of ice that form
on the back wall of the refrigerator compartment thaw during the time the compressor is
not working and the thaw water runs down the thaw water runoff channel to the tray on
top of the compressor (Fig. 1), where it evaporates.
