Impact on Food Storage
• Under Recommended setting, the best storage
time of fridge is no more than 3 days.
• Under Recommended setting, the best storage
time of freezer is no more than 1 month.
• The best storage time may reduce under other
settings.
Freezing fresh food
• The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing
fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen
food for a long time.
• Place the fresh food to be frozen in the freezer
compartment.
• The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating
plate.
• The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this
period do not add other food to be frozen.
Storing frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use,
before putting food in the compartment let the
appliance run at least 2 hours on a higher setting.
IMPORTANT! In the event of accidental defrosting,
for example 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 cooked immediately and
then re-frozen (after cooked).
Thawing
• Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being 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.
Ice-cube
This appliance may be equipped with one or more
ice-cube trays to produce ice.
Accessories
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with
a series of runners so that the shelves can be
positioned as desired.
Positioning the door
balconies
To permit storage of food packages of various
sizes, the door balconies can be placed at different
heights. To make these adjustments proceed as
follows: 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, 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 alumi num 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;
