Daily use

Freezing calendar

The symbols show different types of frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and treating before freezing.

Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 12 hours is specified on the rating plate, a label located on the inside of the appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.

Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the colder setting.
Successful freezing depends on the correct packaging. When you close and seal the package you must not allow air or moisture in or out. If you do, you could have food odour and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator, and also dry out frozen food.
Note: Never put bottled food or drinks in the freezer compartment.
For best performance, leave enough space in the freezer compartment for air to circulate around the packages. Also let enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

Warning! In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if 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, cooled and then re-frozen.

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator 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.

Storage of food in the refrigerator compartment

Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
Position the food so that air can circulate freely around it.
For best performance, leave enough space in the refrigerator compartment for air to circulate around the packages. Also let enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

Low temperature compartment

The drawer is suitable for storing fresh food like fish, meat, seafood, because the temperature is lower here than in the rest of the refrigerator compartment.
The low temperature compartment is equipped with runners. You can pull it out of the appliance.

Caution! Before placing or removing the Low temperature compartment inside the appliance, pull out the vegetable drawer and glass cover.

Positioning the door balconies

Hints and tips

Normal operating sounds
The following sounds are normal during operation:

A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils sound when refrigerant is pumped.
A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant is pumped.
A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not dangerous physical phenomenon).

Hints for energy saving

Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
If the ambient temperature is high and very low internal temperature is set and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, set the internal temperature toward warmer one to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator.
Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
Position food so that air can circulate freely around it.

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:

Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable packaging and place it on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and place on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly and place in a special drawer. Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic must not be kept in the refrigerator if not packed.
Butter and cheese: place in a special airtight container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible.
Bottles: close with a cap and place on the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack.

Cautions for Use

The more food stuff put in or the more and the longer for once the door is opened, the more it needs electric consumption, which even leads malfunction.
Re-plug in the power plug at the interval of over ten minutes.
Do not store bottled drink in the freezer, so as to prevent from being broken and damaging the refrigerator.
Open the door as less as possible during power-cut.
When defrosting, never use any sharp or metallic objects to remove the frost on the surface of the evaporator as it will damage the evaporator.
Do not touch foods and containers in the freezing compartment with your wet hands so as to prevent from being frostbitten.

Hints for freezing
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 12 hours is shown on the rating plate.
The freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period.
Freeze only 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 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 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 foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer.
Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to the freezer in the shortest possible time.
Do 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 manufacturer.
