Helpful hints and tips

Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave
it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high, the
temperature regulator is on the higher
setting and the appliance is fully loaded,
the compressor may run continuously,
causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If
this happens, turn the temperature regu-
lator toward lower settings to allow auto-
matic defrosting and so a saving in elec-
tricity consumption.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some hints:
• The maximum quantity of food which can
be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rat-
ing plate.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No
further food to be frozen should be add-
ed during this period.
• Freeze only top quality, fresh and thor-
oughly cleaned foodstuffs.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable
it to be rapidly and completely frozen
and to make it possible subsequently to
thaw only the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or
polythene and make sure that the pack-
ages are airtight.

Care and cleaning

Caution! Before carrying out any
maintenance operation, disconnect the
power supply.
Freezer Blocks
Two freezer blocks are supplied in the
freezer; this increase the length of time for
which food will keep in the event of a pow-
er failure or breakdown.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to
touch food which is already frozen, thus
avoiding a rise in temperature of the lat-
ter.
• Lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of
food.
• Water ices, if consumed immediately af-
ter removal from the freezer compart-
ment, can possibly cause the skin to be
freeze burnt.
• It is advisable to show the freezing in
date on each individual pack to enable
you to keep tab of the storage time.
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this
appliance, you should:
• Make sure that the commercially frozen
foodstuffs were adequately stored by the
retailer.
• Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are
transferred from the foodstore to the
freezer in the shortest possible time.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave
it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapid-
ly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indica-
ted by the food manufacturer.
