HOW TO OPERATE THE FREEZER

COMPARTMENT

The freezer compartment is . It can be used to freeze

fresh food.

The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is

shown on the rating plate.

Note:

In the event of a power cut, the low temperature compartment will

maintain a sufficiently low temperature for food storage. However, it

is advisable to avoid opening the compartment door during such

periods.

Freezing fresh food

Important

•Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in:

aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene

containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for freezing fresh

food.

•Arrange the fresh food in the top compartment, leaving sufficient

space around each pack for the air to circulate.

•For optimum freezing, turn the thermostat down by half a point

when placing fresh foods in the freezer compartment.

•The food will be completely frozen in 24 hours.

The table alongside shows the recommended maximum

storage time for frozen fresh foods.

When purchasing frozen food products:

•ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in damaged

packaging may have deteriorated). If the package is swollen or has

damp patches, it may not have been stored under optimal

conditions and defrosting may have already begun.

•When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and

transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.

•Place the items in the low temperature compartment as soon as

you get home.

•If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume

within 24 hours.

•Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum. Respect

the best-before date on the package.

•Always observe the storage information on the package.

Making ice cubes

•Fill the ice cube tray 2/3 full and place it in the low temperature

compartment

•Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to detach the tray if it is

stuck to the low temperature compartment bottom.

•Bend the ice tray slightly to remove the cubes.

HOW TO DEFROST AND CLEAN THE

REFRIGERATOR

Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, unplug the

appliance from the mains or disconnect the electrical power

supply.

Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely

automatic.

Droplets of water on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment

indicate that the periodic automatic defrost cycle is in progress.

The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and into a

container from which it evaporates.

Defrosting the freezer compartment

Defrost the freezer compartment once or twice a

year or when the ice formation is excessive.

It is perfectly normal for ice to form. The amount of ice which

forms and the rate at which it accumulates will depends on

room temperature and humidity, and on the frequency with

which the door is opened. Ice formation is concentrated at the

top of the compartment and does not affect the efficiency of

the appliance.

If possible, defrost the freezer when it is nearly empty.

• Remove the food from the freezer, wrap in newspaper and group

together in a cool place or in a portable cooler.

•Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt.

• Clean the interior with a sponge soaked in warm water and/

or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive substances.

• Rinse the interior and dry thoroughly.

• Put the food back into the freezer.

•Close the door.

•Plug in the appliance once again.

•Switch the appliance on.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

•Periodically clean air vents and the condenser at the rear of the

appliance with a vacuum cleaner or a brush.

•Clean the outside using a soft cloth.

Prolonged disuse

1. Empty the refrigerator.

2. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

3. Defrost and clean the interior.

4. In the event of prolonged disuse, leave the door open to prevent

the formation of mould, odours and oxidation.

5. Clean the appliance.

•Clean the inside of the low temperature compartment (where

fitted) when defrosting.

•Periodically clean the inside of the refrigerator compartment with

a sponge dampened in warm water and/or neutral detergent. Rinse

and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.

•Clean the outside with a soft damp cloth.

Do not use abrasive products, scourers, stain-removers

(e.g. acetone, trichloroethylene) or vinegar.

Replacing bulbs:

When replacing the bulb, proceed as follows:

•Unplug the appliance from the mains

•Squeeze the tabs on the sides of the lamp cover and remove it.

•Replace the bulb with a new one, maximum 10 W.

•Put the lamp cover back on and wait 5 minutes before plugging the

appliance back into the mains.

INSTALLATION

•Install the appliance away from heat sources. Installation in a hot

environment, direct exposure to the sun or installation near heat

sources (heaters, radiators, cookers) will increase power

consumption and should therefore be avoided.

•If this is not possible, the following minimum distances must be

respected:

•30 cm from coal or paraffin stoves;

•3 cm from electric and/or gas stoves.

•Fit the spacers (if supplied) on the rear of the condenser positioned

at the back of the appliance (see figure).

•To optimize appliance efficiency, leave a 5 cm gap above the

appliance and make sure that adjacent kitchen units are sufficiently

distanced to allow air circulation.

•Install the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated place, and ensure it is

level, using the front adjustment feet if necessary.
