depends on room conditions and how often
the door is open.
To defrost the unit, switch off the freezer
compartment or the whole appliance,
depending on the model, and remove all
food products.
Leave the freezer door open to allow the
frost to melt.
For appliances in fi g. 2 only pull out the
defrost water drain and place a container
under the drain.
When the operation is completed, put back
the defrost water drain.
Clean the inside of the freezer. Rinse
and dry thoroughly. Switch the freezer
compartment, or the whole appliance, back
on and store the food inside.

Storing food
Wrap food so that no water, moisture or
condensate can enter; this will prevent
odours or aromas going from one part to
another in the refrigerator, ensuring better
preservation of frozen foods.
Never place hot food in the freezer. Cooling
hot foods before freezing saves energy and
prolongs the life of the appliance.
In case of short vacation
There is no need to disconnect the
appliance from the power supply if you will
be away for less than three weeks.
Use up perishable food, freeze other food.
If your appliance has an automatic ice
maker:
1. Turn it off.
2. Shut off the water supply to the
automatic ice maker.
3. Empty the ice bucket.
In case of moving
1. Take out all internal parts.
2. Wrap them well, and fi x them together
with adhesive tape so that they do not
bang together or get lost.
3. Screw the adjustable feet so that they
do not touch the support surface.
4. Close and fi x both doors with adhesive
tape and,again using adhesive tape, fi x
the power cable to the appliance.
If the appliance is not going to be used
Disconnect the appliance from the power
supply, remove all the food, defrost and
clean. Leave the doors open enough for air
to circulate inside the compartments. This
will prevent the formation of mould and bad
odours.
In case of power failures
Call the local offi ce of your electricity supply
company and ask how long it is going to
last.
For power failures lasting up to 24 hours.
1. Keep both doors of the appliance
closed. This will allow the stored food to
stay cold as long as possible.
For power failures lasting more than 24
hours.
1. Empty the freezer compartment and
arrange the food in a portable freezer.
If this type of freezer is not available
and, likewise, no artifi cial ice packs are
available, try to use up the food, which
is more easily perishable.
2. Empty the ice bucket.
Note:
- Bear in mind that a full appliance will
stay cold longer than a partially fi lled
one.
- If ice crystals are still visible on the food,
it may be frozen again, although fl avour
and aroma may be affected.
- If food is found to be in a poor condition,
it is best to throw it away.
