HOW TO MAKE ICE CUBES:
- Fill up the trays three quarters full of water and place them in the low temperature compart-
ment.
- Once the water has frozen, you can remove the ice cubes by gently twisting the trays.
- If one of the trays when freezing becomes stuck to the base of the compartment, do not
attempt to unstick it with cutting or pointed objects, as they may damage the appliance. Use
wooden or plastic spatulas.
- Do not swallow ice cubes immediately after extracting them as they can cause cold burns.
HOW TO THAW FOOD
Not all food should be thawed the same way.
- If you have bought frozen food from a shop, follow the instructions on the packet.
- Vegetables must be cooked from frozen.
- Generally, prepared or pre-cooked food can be cooked from frozen.
- Meat and fish must be thawed slowly in the refrigerator for several hours.
If you have a microwave, you can significantly speed up the thawing process.
HOW TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE PROPERLY:
TIPS
- Do not open the freezer door too often to prevent the temperature inside the compartment from rising.
- Do not exceed the recommended preservation expiry date on the packaging of deep-frozen products.
- The amount of food to be frozen in one go must not exceed the freezing power value indicated on the features
plate.
- Always freeze food in a good condition.
- So that food does not dry out, wrap it in tin foil or cling film.
- Place a sticker on the wrapping indicating the content and the date of freezing.
- Do not let food to be frozen touch food which has already been frozen.
- Never refreeze thawed food.
- Do not store bottles with fizzy drinks or glass bottles containing liquids in the freezer as they may explode.
- Do not consume very cold ice cream or food as they may burn your mouth.
SUGGESTIONS FOR SAVING ELECTRICITY
- Do not install the appliance in places exposed to direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this requires a higher
energy consumption.
- Do not block the grille or openings for air circulation. For this, we recommend that you dust it once or twice a
year.
- Do not place hot food in the freezer.
- Open the freezer door only when necessary.
