Arranging foods inside the refrigerator compartment
•Arrange the foods on the various shelves, taking care that they have an airtight wrapping
or cover. This precaution will:
-conserve foods' fragrance, moisture and freshness;
-prevent the cross-contamination of foods with different aromas and tastes;
-prevent the humidity level inside the refrigerator becoming too high because of the
normal breathing of food (especially fresh fruit and vegetables). In some operating
conditions (rise in ambient temperature and humidity, more frequent opening of the
door) this might cause condensation to form on the shelves.
•Use only containers approved for food storage. Always allow hot foods and drinks to cool
to room temperature before placing them inside the refrigerator.
•Never store explosive substances in the appliance and only store high-alcohol drinks firmly
sealed and vertical.
Setting the operating temperature
Important
:
Changes in weather conditions (temperature and humidity) and
the frequency with which the doors of the two
separate compartments are
opened may affect the refrigerator's operating temperatures.
Temperature Control
The temperature in the freezer is controlled by the thermostat control regulator in the upper
the freezer. Turn the thermostat control regulator with key attached up or down to r
egulate
the temperature inside the freezer. The markings on control regulator indicated the “
M
IN
,
MED
and
M
AX
” for the different temperature grades. The temperature decreases with
position
MIN
being the warmest and position
MAX
being the coldest.
Set the c
ontrol to the middle position
MED
for normal use, but you may set
the control to
other positions i
f you find the middle is too cold or too wa
rm.
Freezing foods
•
For proper storage and freez
ing, fruit and vegetables should be packed in portions of not
more than 1 kg and meat and fish up to a max.
of 2
kg. Small packages of food freeze more
quickly, giving better conservation of their nutrients and flavour, even after thawing and
preparation.
•
Use only freezer bags, aluminium film, food
-
approved polyethylene film and freezer
containers. Do not use paper bags,
non
-
food
-
approved cellophane bags, shopping bags or
used freezer bags.
•
Pack foods in airtight packs and try to expel all the air. If usin
g bags, close the packs with
the elastic bands or plastic
-
coated wire strips provided.

•
Always cool hot foods to room temperature before placing them in the freezer and do not
allow frozen foods to touch fresh foods for freezing.
•
Always mark packs with the
date of freezing, quantity and type of food and make sure that
foods are fresh and in good condition.
Storing frozen foods
•
When purchasing frozen foods, always take care that the pack is not damaged, that the
product is not past its sell
-
by date and that
the thermometer of the freezer in which the
products are displayed for sale does not show a temperature above
-
18°C. Also note the
temperature advice, storage period and modes of consumption stated by the producer.
•
Purchased foods should also be protected
using suitable insulated containers during
transportation to eliminate the risk of thawing. An increase in temperature might reduce
their storage life and adversely affect their quality.
•
Do not purchase frozen foods which are carrying too much frost; they
might already have
been thawed
.
Thawing frozen foods
•
Partially thawed foods should be eaten as soon as possible. Low temperatures preserve
foods,
but they do not destroy the micro
-
organisms which are activated after thawing,
which may cause the stored foo
ds to deteriorate. If thawed foods smell and look normal,
they can be cooked and if required re
-
frozen once they have cooled.
•
Depending on their type and intended use, frozen foods can be thawed correctly at room
temperature, in the refrigerator, in an ele
ctric oven (conventional or fan), or in a
microwave oven using the relevant function.
Making ice
-
cubes
Fill the tray 2/3 full of water or any other liquid you wish to freeze. Place it in the freezer
compartment, making sure that its bottom is dry so that i
t will not stick to the shelf of the
compartment. To detach the ice
-
cubes, twist the tray slightly or place it under running water
for a few seconds
.
Defrosting
1.
When the refrigerator
is
working for a
long
period of time, the inner
surface of the chilled
room will be covered with a layer of white frost. It may raise the electricity consumption
and lessen the effect of refrigeration.
Then you should do frost removal
at once
.
2.
The refrigerator compartment has
semi
automatic defrosting.
T
he defrosting push button
(DEF) is in the centre of temperature control selector.
3.
While defrosting, press the button,
the
compressor ceases to
work,
and the temperature
rises +5
-
+8
°
C
. Defrosting button resto
res automatically, the circuit is
on again and th
e
compressor works.
4.
After defrosting, clear away defrosting water in
drip tray
as soon as possible
.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Warning
:
the amount of ice which forms on the back wall may vary with
changes in weather conditions (temperature and humidity), the frequency
with w
hich the door is opened, the appliance's operating temperatures and
the amount of fresh foods stored inside (especially fruit and vegetables).
Cleaning
•
Before cleaning, disconnect the plug from the electrical mains. Clean the outside usin
g only
water and a gentle liquid detergent or an ordinary detergent for washable surfaces (such
as a window
-
cleaning product). Never use products containing abrasives or substances
which may attack the lacquered or painted parts, acids or chemical solvents
. Use a sponge
or a soft cloth.
•
Do not use steam cleaners to clean the inside;
•
Remove the shelves and accessories, taking care not to apply excessive force when
removing. Never wash removable plastic parts in the dishwasher; use only warm water and
washing
-
up liquid or water and vinegar. Take care not to wet the electrical lighting
components with water or detergents.
•
Clean the gaskets with warm water and then dry.
•

Practical advice for saving energy
•
Install the
freezer
in a cool, well ventilated place, protected against d
irect sunlight and well
away from heat sources.
•
Do not place hot foods in the
f
reezer sections. Wait for foods to cool to room temperature
before placing them on the shelves;
•
Open the door(s) as infrequently and for as short a time as possible to prevent t
he
compartments from warming up too much;
•
Clean the condenser (rear of the
freezer
) periodically to prevent the appliance from losing
efficiency;
•
If the
freezer
is to be out of use for a long period, it is bes
t to empty it and switch it off.
