Helpful Hints and Tips

Normal Operating Sounds

• You may hear a faint gurgling and a bubbling

sound when the refrigerant is pumped

through the coils or tubing. This is correct.

• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is

being pumped around and you will hear a

whirring sound and a pulsating noise from the

compressor. This is correct.

• The thermic dilatation might cause a sudden

cracking noise. It is natural, not dangerous

physical phenomenon. This is correct.

• When the compressor switches on or

switches off, you will hear a faint "click" of the

temperature regulator. This is correct.

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing proc-

ess, here are some important hints:

• the maximum quantity of food which can be

frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No fur-

ther food to be frozen should be added dur-

ing this period;

• only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly

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;

Care and cleaning

Caution! Unplug the appliance before

carrying out any maintenance operation.

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its

cooling unit; maintenance and recharging

must therefore only be carried out by authorized

technicians.

Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

• clean the inside and accessories with luke-

warm water and some neutral soap.

• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean

to ensure they are clean and free from debris.

• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or poly-

thene 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 latter;

• lean foods store better and longer than fatty

ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;

• water ices, if consumed immediately after re-

moval from the freezer compartment, 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.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this appli-

ance, you should:

• make sure that the commercially frozen food-

stuffs were adequately stored by the retailer;

• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred

from the foodstore to the freezer in the short-

est possible time;

• not open the door frequently or leave it open

longer than absolutely necessary;

• once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and

cannot be refrozen;

• do not exceed the storage period indicated

by the food manufacturer.

• rinse and dry thoroughly.

Important! Do not pull, move or damage any

pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.

Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly

perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to

clean the interior as this will damage the surface

and leave a strong odour.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the com-

pressor at the back of the appliance with a

brush. This operation will improve the perform-

ance of the appliance and save electricity con-

sumption.
