the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher
settings.
WARNING! 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 re-frozen (after
cooling).
THAWING
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used,
can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at
room temperature, depending on the time available
for this operation.
HINTS AND TIPS
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
The following sounds are normal during operation:
•
A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils
sound when refrigerant is pumped.
•
A whirring and pulsating sound from the
compressor when refrigerant is pumped.
•
A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance
caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not
dangerous physical phenomenon).
•
A faint click noise from the temperature
regulator when the compressor switches on or
off.
HINTS FOR ENERGY SAVING
•
Do not open the door frequently or leave it open
longer than absolutely necessary.
•
If the ambient temperature is high and the
Temperature Regulator is set to low temperature
and the appliance is fully loaded, the
compressor may run continuously, causing frost
or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, set the
Temperature Regulator toward warmer settings
to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in
electricity consumption.
•
Do not remove the cold accumulators from the
freezer basket.
HINTS FOR FRESH FOOD REFRIGERATION
To obtain the best performance:
•
do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in
the refrigerator
•
do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a
strong flavour
8
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,
directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will
take longer.
ICE-CUBE PRODUCTION
This appliance is equipped with one or more trays
for the production of ice-cubes.
Do not use metallic instruments to
remove the trays from the freezer.
1. Fill these trays with water
2. Put the ice trays in the freezer compartment.
COLD ACCUMULATORS
The freezer contains at least one cold accumulator
which increases storage time in the event of a
power cut or breakdown.
•
position food so that air can circulate freely
around it
HINTS FOR REFRIGERATION
Useful hints:
•
Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable packaging
and place it on the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer. Store meat for at most 1-2
days.
•
Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and place on
any shelf.
•
Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly and
place in a special drawer. Bananas, potatoes,
onions and garlic must not be kept in the
refrigerator if not packed.
•
Butter and cheese: place in a special airtight
container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a
polythene bag to exclude as much air as
possible.
•
Bottles: close with a cap and place on the door
bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack.
HINTS FOR FREEZING
To help you make the most of the freezing process,
here are some important hints:
•
the maximum quantity of food which can be
frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate;
•
the freezing process takes 24 hours no further
food to be frozen should be added during this
period;
•
freeze only top quality, fresh and thoroughly
cleaned, foodstuffs;
•
prepare food in small portions to enable it to be
rapidly and completely frozen and to make it
