STORAGE OF FROZEN FOOD
When first starting-up or after a period out of use,
before putting the products in the compartment let
the appliance run at least 2 hours with the
FastFreeze function turned on.
In the event of accidental defrosting,
for example due to a power failure, if
the power has been off for longer that
the value shown in the technical data
chart under "Rising time", the
defrosted food must be consumed
quickly or cooked immediately and
then re-frozen (after cooling).
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.
HINTS FOR FREEZING
•
Freeze only top quality, fresh and thoroughly
cleaned food products.
•
For more efficient freezing and thawing divide
food into small portions.
•
Wrap the food in aluminium foil or polythene.
Make sure that the packages are airtight.
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
GENERAL WARNINGS
CAUTION! Unplug the appliance
before carrying out any maintenance
operation.
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.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,
directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will
take longer.
•
To avoid increase in temperature of already
frozen food, do not place fresh unfrozen food
directly next to it.
•
Lean foods store better and longer than fatty
ones. Salt reduces the storage life of food.
•
Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies
immediately after taking them out of the freezer.
Risk of frostbites.
•
It is advisable to show the freezing date on each
individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the
storage time.
HINTS FOR STORAGE OF FROZEN FOOD
•
Make sure that the commercially frozen food
products were adequately stored by the retailer.
•
Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred
from the food store to the freezer in the shortest
possible time.
•
Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and
cannot be refrozen.
•
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by
the food manufacturer.
