Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out

of use, before putting the products in the

compartment let the appliance run at least

2 hours on the higher settings.

Important! In the event of accidental

defrosting, for example due to a power

failure, if the power has been off for longer

than the value shown in the technical

characteristics chart under "rising time", the

defrosted food must be consumed quickly or

Helpful hints and tips

Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or leave

it open longer than absolutely necessary.

• If the ambient temperature is high, the

temperature regulator is on the higher

setting and the appliance is fully loaded,

the compressor may run continuously,

causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If

this happens, turn the temperature regu-

lator toward lower settings to allow auto-

matic defrosting and so a saving in elec-

tricity consumption.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

• Do not store warm food or evaporating

liquids in the refrigerator.

• Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if

it has a strong flavour.

• Position food so that air can circulate

freely around it.

Hints for refrigeration

• Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags

and place on the glass shelf above the

vegetable drawer.

For safety, store in this way only one or

two days at the most.

• Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.: these

should be covered and may be placed

on any shelf.

• Fruit and vegetables: these should be

thoroughly cleaned and placed in the

drawer.

cooked immediately and then re-frozen

(after cooling).

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being

used, can be thawed in the refrigerator

compartment or at room temperature, de-

pending on the time available for this oper-

ation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-

zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,

cooking will take longer.

• Butter and cheese: these should be

placed in special airtight containers or

wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene

bags to exclude as much air as possible.

• Milk bottles: these should have a cap and

should be stored in the bottle rack on the

door.

• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic: if

not packed, must not be kept in the re-

frigerator.

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing

process, here are some hints:

• The maximum quantity of food which can

be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rat-

ing plate.

• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No

further food to be frozen should be add-

ed during this period.

• Freeze only 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 pack-

ages 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.
