• The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.
Storing frozen food
When rst starting-up or after aperiod out of use, before putting the product in the compartment let the
appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.
Important! In the event of accidental defrosting, for example the power has been o for longer than
the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under “rising time”, the defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after cooked).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be used, can be thawed in the fridge compartment or at room temperature,
depending on the time available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer. In this case, cooking will take longer.

gradually pull the balcony in the direction of the arrows until it comes free, then
reposition as required.
Helpful hints and tips
To help you make the most of the freezing process, 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 further food to be frozen should be added during this period;
• only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstus;
• 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 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 removal 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 removal 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 appliance, you should:
make sure that the commercially frozen foodstus were adequately stored by the retailer;
be sure that frozen foodstus are transferred from the food store to the freezer in the shortest 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 manufacture.
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 avour
• Make (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelves 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 special drawer(s) provided.
• butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminum foil or
polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
• Milk bottle: these should have acap and should be stored in the balconies on the door.
• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the fridge.

Cleaning
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly.
Caution! The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical
shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance o and remove the plug from the mains, or switch o or
turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. Never clean the appliance with asteam cleaner. Moisture could
accumulate in electrical components, danger of electrical shock! Hot vapors can lead to the damage
of plastic parts. The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.
Important! Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or the juice
form orange peel, butyric acid, cleanser that contain acetic acid.
Clean drain hole
To avoid defrost water overowing into the fridge, periodically clean the drain
hole at back of fridge compartment. Use acleaner to clean the hole as showed
in right picture.
1) If the condenser is at back of appliance.
• Do not allow such substances to come into contact the appliance parts.

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape o frost from the evaporator as you could damage it.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out as
fellows:
• pull out the plug from the socket;
• remove all stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in acool place;
• keep the door open, and placing abasin underneath of the appliance to collect the defrost water;
