The low temperature compartment

maintains the storage tem-

perature for 11 hours even in case of power failure: during

this time we suggest to leave the door of the compartment

closed.

Do not refreeze partially thawn foods.

THAWING

Here are some basic suggestions:

Raw vegetables:

do not thaw, put straight into boiling water

and cook as usual.

Meat

(large

cuts): thaw in the refrigerator

compartment

without unwrapping

them. Before cooking leave at room tem-

perature for some hours, or defrost in a microwave oven fol-

lowing the manufacturer's

recommendations.

(small

cuts): thaw at room temperature

or cook directly.

Fish: thaw in the refrigerator compartment

without

unwrap-

ping or cook directly before being completely thawed.

Previously

cooked foods: re-heat in the oven without remo-

ving from its aluminium container.

Fruit: thaw in the refrigerator compartment.

NOTE: Do not store liquids in glass containers in the low tem-

perature compartment.

PRODUCTION OF ICE CUBES

Fill the trays 3/4 of their depth and place them in the low tem-

perature compartment.

Attention:

Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after

their removal from the low temperature

compartment

as they

may give rise to "cold" burns.

Do not store liquids in glass containers.

AUTOMATIC

ICE MAKER

(optional)

The automatic

Ice maker (Fig. 10) can be obtained

by our

Service Centres. Here are some suggestions

to operate

it:

-The ON/OFF lever is a wire signal arm.

. Down .,, for making ice automatlcally.

Up . ..to shut off the ice maker on until it is connected to the

water supply.

NOTE: Please refer to the separate

instructions

supplied.

- Shake the bin occasionally to keep cubes separated, and to

obtain increased storage capacity.

- It's normal for ice crescents to be attached by a corner. They

will break apart easily.

- You will hear water running when ice maker is working. You'll

hear ice fall into the bin. Don't let these sounds bother you.

-The ice maker will not operate until the low temperature

compartment

is cold enough to make ice. This can take over-

night.

- Because of new plumbing connections, the first ice may be

off flavoured. Discard the first few batches of ice.

- If Ice is not being made fast enough and more ice is needed,

turn the thermostat control toward a higher number.

- If you remove the ice bin, raise the signal arm to shut off the

ice maker. When you return the bin, push it all the way in and

lower the arm to the ON posItion.

- If cubes are stored too long, they may develop an off-flavor...

like stale water. Throw them away. They will be replaced. Cubes

in the ice bin can also become smaller by evaporation.

- Good water quality is important for good ice quality. Water

softener chemicals such as salt, can damage the ice maker

mold and lead to poor quality ice. If a softener water supply

cannot be avoided, then it is Important that the water softe-

ner be well maintened and operating properly.

MAINTENANCE

AND CLEANING

A periodic and proper maintenance will ensure a longer life to

your appliance.

When carrying out cleaning operations, always disconnect the

appliance from the mains supply.
