Frozen food storage
When the freezer is being turned on for the first
time, or after a prolonged period of disuse, turn the
N/S knob to the Quick-freezing position and then
wait at least two hours before introducing the food
to be conserved.
You may then return the knob to the «N» position.
This two-hour waiting period may be avoided if the
freezer has already been in operation.
Helpful hints
Always check the preparation date indicated on the
frozen foods you buy and respect the expiration
time provided by the producer.
Do not open the freezer door too often and leave it
open only for the minimum time necessary.
Unnecessary increases in temperature will notably
reduce the duration of the frozen food conservation.
Make sure that all frozen food packages are intact;
otherwise the food may have spoiled.
If such packages present signs of swelling or
humidity marks, this means that the food has not
been conserved correctly, implying that the product
has lost some of its original quality.
When buying frozen foods, carry them in a
thermally insulated shopping bag whenever
possible. In any case, always purchase frozen foods
at the end of your shopping. Wrap the frozen foods
in newspaper and then put them into the freezer as
soon as you arrive home.
Always check the frozen foods you buy carefully at
the moment of purchase, because even partially-
thawed foods must not be re-frozen but must be
consumed within 24 hours of purchase.
Thawing-out frozen foods
Frozen foods must be allowed to thaw out before
use either in the refrigerator (meat, poultry, fish,
etc.) or at room temperature (all other foods)
according to the available time.
Frozen products which come in small-sized or
separate packages may be cooked directly without
thawing; obviously, in this case, the cooking time
will last a little longer.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with trays for the
production of ice-cubes.
Fill these trays with water to 3/4 of their height,
then put them in the freezer.
The ice-cubes may be shaken out from the trays by
simply twisting; do not use metallic instruments to
remove the trays from the freezer.

Defrosting
Frost should be removed with the special plastic
scraper provided, whenever the thickness exceeds
4 mm. During this operation it is not necessary to
cut-off the power or to remove the food from the
freezer.
Do not use metal tools to remove frost so as to avoid
seriously damaging the appliance.
If a thick layer of ice is formed it will be necessary
to carry out complete defrosting as following:
set the thermostat knob to « O » position or unplug
the appliance from the mains socket;
wrap frozen food in several layers of newspaper and
place the food packages in a cool place;
leave the door open. Introduce the plastic scraper in
the appropriate seating at the bottom center, as
shown in figure, place underneath a basin to collect
the defrost water.

When defrosting is completed dry the interior
thoroughly.
Keep the scraper for future use.
Turn the thermostat knob to the desired position or
replace the plug in the socket. After letting the
appliance to run for two or three hours on the quick-
freeze setting, it is ready again for storing frozen
food.
