Freezing Calendar
The sy bols show different types of frozen goods.
The nu bers indicate storage ti es in onths for the appropriate types of frozen goods.Whether the upper or lower
value of the indicated storage ti e is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing.
Freezing fresh food
The 4-star co part ent is suitable for
long ter storage of co ercially frozen food, and
for freezing fresh food.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change
the setting of the ther ostat knob with respect to the
nor al running position.
However, for a quicker freezing operation, turn the
ther ostat knob to the coldest setting; but
re e ber that, in this condition, the refrigerating
co part ent te perature ight drop below 0°C.
If this occurs reset ther ostat knob to a war er
setting.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use,
before putting the products in the co part ent let
the appliance run for at least two hours on the
coldest setting, then turn the ther ostat knob to the
nor al operating position.
Important
In the event of accidental defrosting, for example
due to a power failure, if the power has een off
for longer that the value shown in the technical
characteristics chart under “rising time”, the
defrosted food must e consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then refrozen (after
cooling).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can
be thawed in the refrigerator co part ent or at
roo te perature, depending on the ti e available
for this operation.
S all pieces ay even be cooked still frozen,
directly fro the freezer: in this case, cooking will
take longer.
Ice-cu e production
This appliance is equipped with one or ore trays
for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with
water, then put the in the freezer co part ent.
Do not use metallic instruments to remove the
trays from the freezer.

CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SPARE PARTS
If the appliance is not functioning properly, check
that:
• the plug is fir ly in the wall socket and the ains
power switch is on;
• there is an electricity supply (find out by plugging
in another appliance);
• the ther ostat knob is in the correct position.
• If there are water drops on the botto of the
cabinet, check that the defrost water drain
opening is not obstructed (see “Defrosting”
section).
• If your appliance is still not working properly after
aking the above checks, contact the nearest
service centre.
To obtain fast service, it is essential that when you
apply for it you specify the odel and serial nu ber
of your appliance which can be found on the
guarantee certificate or on the rating plate located
inside the appliance, on the botto left-hand side.
The freezer co part ent, however, will beco e
progressively covered with frost. This should be
re oved with a plastic scraper, whenever the
thickness of the frost exceeds 4 . During this
operation it is not necessary to switch off the power
supply or to re ove the foodstuffs.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
from the evaporator as you could damage it.
However, when the ice beco es very thick on the
inner liner, co plete defrosting should be carried out
as follows:
1. pull out the plug fro the wall socket or turn the
ther ostat knob to the «O» setting;
2. re ove any stored food, wrap it in several layers
of newspaper and put it in a cool place;
3. leave the door open;
4. when defrosting is co pleted, dry the interior
thoroughly;
5. turn the ther ostat knob back to the required
setting or replace the plug in the power socket.
6. After two or three hours, reload the previously
re oved food into the co part ent.
Important:
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage
life.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
from the evaporator as you could damage it.
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial
means to speed up the thawing process other
than those recommended y the manufacturer.

HINTS
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
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 ay be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegeta les: 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 alu iniu
foil or polythene bags to exclude as uch air as
possible.
Milk ottles: 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 e kept in the refrigerator.
Hints for freezing
To help you ake the ost of the freezing process,
here are so e i portant hints:
• Place the food to be frozen on the freezer shelf
as this is the coldest part.
• the axi u 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 s all portions to enable it to be
rapidly and co pletely frozen and to ake it
possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity
required;
• wrap up the food in alu iniu foil or polythene
and ake sure that the packages are airtight;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food
which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in
te perature of the latter;
• lean foods store better and longer than fatty
ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;
• water ices, if consu ed i ediately after
re oval fro the freezer co part ent, can
possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best perfor ance fro this appliance,
you should:
• ake sure that the co ercially frozen
foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer;
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred
fro the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest
possible ti e;
• 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 anufacturer.
• it is advisable to show the freezing-in date on
each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of
the storage ti e;
• do not put car onated liquids (fizzy drinks,
etc.) in the freezer compartment as they may
urst.
