5.7 Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to

being consumed, can be thawed in the

refrigerator or inside a plastic bag under

cold water.

This operation depends on the time

available and on the type of food. Small

pieces may even be cooked still frozen.

5.8 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.

6. HINTS AND TIPS

6.1 Hints for energy saving

• Freezer: The internal configuration of

the appliance is the one that ensures

the most efficient use of energy.

• Fridge: Most efficient use of energy is

ensured in the configuration with the

drawers in the bottom part of the

appliance and shelves evenly

distributed. Position of the door bins

does not affect energy consumption.

• Do not remove the cold accumulators

from the freezer basket.

• Do not open the door frequently or

leave it open longer than necessary.

• Freezer: The colder the temperature

setting, the higher the energy

consumption.

• Fridge: Do not set too high

temperature to save energy unless it

is required by the characteristics of

the food.

• If the ambient temperature is high and

the temperature control is set to low

temperature and the appliance is fully

loaded, the compressor may run

continuously, causing frost or ice

formation on the evaporator. In this

case, set the temperature control

toward higher temperature to allow

automatic defrosting and to save

energy this way.

• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not

cover the ventilation grilles or holes.

1. Fill these trays with water.

2. Put the ice trays in the freezer

compartment.

5.9 Cold accumulators

This appliance is equipped with cold

accumulators which increase storage

time in the event of a power cut or

breakdown.

To ensure the best performance of the

accumulators, place them in the front top

area of the appliance.

• Make sure that food products inside

the appliance allow air circulation

through dedicated holes in the rear

interior of the appliance.

6.2 Hints for freezing

• Activate Frostmatic function at least

24 hours before placing the food

inside the freezer compartment.

• Before freezing wrap and seal fresh

food in: aluminium foil, plastic film or

bags, airtight containers with lid.

• For more efficient freezing and

thawing divide food into small

portions.

• It is recommended to put labels and

dates on all your frozen food. This will

help to identify foods and to know

when they should be used before their

deterioration.

• The food should be fresh when being

frozen to preserve good quality.

Especially fruits and vegetables

should be frozen after the harvest to

preserve all of their nutrients.

• Do not freeze bottles or cans with

liquids, in particular drinks containing

carbon dioxide - they may explode

during freezing.

• Do not put hot food in the freezer

compartment. Cool it down at room

temperature before placing it inside

the compartment.
