4. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

4.1 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 con-
tinuously, 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 consump-
tion.
4.2 Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some important hints:
• To freeze the maximum quantity shown
on the rating plate press the FROST-
MATIC switch 24 hours prior to freez-
ing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller quanti-
ties. The light will light up .
• The FROSTMATIC switch not need not
be pressed for freezing of small quanti-
ties.
Remove the shelves for cleaning.
The shelves can be inclined between the
two guides, making sure that the smallest
pins are properly inserted in the upper
guide seat and the front part of the shelf is
resting on the front guide.
Adjust the wooden shelves as follows:
The short shelf can be placed on the two
short guides at the top.
The long shelf can be placed on the three
long middle guides and inclined between
the last short guide at the bottom and the
shelf support structure.
Place the shelf support structure in the
bottom of the compartment.
In the shelf support structure insert only
the long shelves.
• only freeze 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
packages are airtight;
• 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.
