VIII. STORING THE FOOD
•The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food, for storing frozen foods for the period
of time indicated on packaging and for making ice cubes.
•Do not put fresh and warm food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
•While freezing fresh foods (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat) divide them in portions you will use
in a single serving.
•For storing frozen foods, the instructions shown on frozen food packages should always be
followed carefully. If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3
months from the purchased date.
•When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that
the packing is intact.
•Consume thawed frozen food within a short period of time after defrosting
•For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly, that is the packaging should be air
tight and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil polythene bags and plastic
containers are ideal.
•Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality of the food
and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest possible time.
•If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal swelling it is probable that
it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have
deteriorated.
•The storage life of frozen foods depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting, how
often the door is opened, the type of food and the length of time required to transport the
product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging
and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
•The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the
appliance label.
•Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and any other food which needs to be
frozen quickly) more quickly because of the freezing shelf’s greater freezing power. Fast freezing
shelves are the bottom drawers of the freezer compartment.
NOTE: If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you will find that it
will not open easily. This is normal. Once equilibrium has been reached, the door will open
easily.
Important note:
•Frozen foods, when thawed, should be cooked just like fresh foods. If they are not cooked after
being thawed they must NEVER be re-frozen.
•The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted
spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they
assume a strong taste when they are stored for a long period. Therefore, the frozen food should
be added little amount of spices or the desired spice should be added after the food has been
thawed.

IX. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

www.heinner.com
15
DEFROSTING
•Small amounts of frost will accumulate inside the freezer, depending upon the length of time
for which the door is left open or the amount of moisture introduced. It is essential to ensure
that no frost or ice is allowed to form in places where it will affect the close fitting of the door
seal. This might allow air to penetrate the cabinet, encouraging continuous running of the
compressor. Thin frost formation is quite soft and can be removed with a brush or plastic
scraper. Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means to accelerate
the defrosting process. Remove all dislodged frost from the cabinet floor. It is not necessary to
switch off the appliance for the removal of thin frost.
•For the removal of heavy ice deposits, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and
empty the contents into cardboard boxes and wrap in thick blankets or layers of paper to keep
cold. Defrosting will be most effective if carried out when the freezer is nearly empty and
should be carried out as quickly as possible to prevent undue increase in temperature of the
contents.
•Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the
defrosting process. An increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting will shorten the
storage life. If the contents are well wrapped and placed in a cool area they should keep for
several hours.
•Dry the inside of the compartment with a sponge or a clean cloth.
•To accelerate the defrosting process, place one or more bowls of warm water in the freezer
compartment.
•Examine the contents when replacing them in the freezer and if some of the packages have
thawed out they should be eaten within 24hours, or be cooked and re-frozen.
•After defrosting has finished, clean the inside of the appliance with a solution of warm water
with a little bicarbonate of soda and then dry thoroughly. Wash all removable parts in the same
way and reassemble. Reconnect the appliance to the mains supply and leave for 2 to 3 hours on
setting number 3 before introducing the food back into the freezer.

www.heinner.com
16
TRANSPORTATION AND CHANGING OF INSTALLATION POSITION
•The original packages and foamed polystyrene (PS) can be retained if required.
•During transportation, the appliance should be secured with a wide string or a strong rope. The
instructions written on the corrugated box must be followed while transporting.
•Before transporting or changing the installation position, all the moving objects (ie, drawer, Ice
trays) should be taken out or fixed with bands in order to prevent them from getting damaged.
! Carry your freezer in the upright position.
REPOSITIONING THE DOOR
•It is not possible to change the opening direction of your freezer door, if the door handle on your
freezer is installed from the front surface of the door.
•It is possible to change the opening direction of the door on models without any handles.
•If the door opening direction of your freezer may be changed, you should contact an authorised
service to have the opening direction changed.

X. TROUBLESHOOTING
If your freezer is not operating as expected, check the solutions listed below before calling an
electrician or the after sales service.
What to do if your appliance does not operate
Check that:
•The thermostat setting is not on « • » position.
•Your freezer is plugged in and switched on.
•The mains switch in your home is not switched off.
•The socket is no longer functioning. To check this, plug in an appliance that you know is
working into the same socket.
What to do if your appliance performs poorly
Check that:
•You have not overloaded the appliance.
•The thermostat setting is not on « 1 » position.
•The doors are closed properly.
•There is no dust on the condenser.
•There is enough space for air circulation at the rear and side of the appliance.

The cooling gas which circulates in the cooling circuit may make a slight noise (bubbling sound)
even when the compressor is not running. This is normal. If these sounds are different check that:
•The appliance is well levelled;
•Nothing is touching the rear;
•Nothing on or in the appliance is vibrating.
Recommendations
•If the appliance is not used for long time (for example during holidays) defrost and clean the
refrigerator, leaving the door open to prevent the formation of midew and smell.
•To stop the appliance completely, unplug it at the mains socket (for cleaning and when the
doors are left open).
•If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult the
nearest Authorised Service.
•The appliance you have purchased is designed for home type use and can be used only at
home and for the stated purposes. It is not suitable for commercial or common use. If the
consumer use the appliance in a way that does not comply with these features, we emphasise
that the producer and the dealer shall not be responsible for any repair or failure within the
guarantee period.

Tips for saving energy
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near a
heat source (radiator, cooker, etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise humidity
increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and
other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.
4. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
5. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller, etc.) closed.
6. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
7. It is possible to store more food by removing freezer shelf. Energy consumption is declared
with maximum load and without freezer shelf.
