and exterior surface with a damped cloth and
some mild cleaning agent.
• Hang the basket (4) in a desired position inside
the cabinet.
Then, close the lid of the appliance.
Note: As the lid is equipped with a tightly clos-
ing seal, it is not easy to reopen it shortly after
closing (due to the vacuum formed inside).
Wait a few minutes before reopen the lid.

• Insert the plug to a suitable electrical outlet.
• Turn the temperature regulator in clockwise
direction away from the "0" position.

cold inside the appliance, allow the appliance
to run for few hours before placing food in-
side.

wise direction back to the "0" position, allow
the appliance to run for few hours before plac-
ing food inside.

If the appliance is not going to be used for long
period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday
• unplug the appliance from the main electrical
supply;
• defrost the appliance and then clean it and
leave the lid open to air the appliance.
3). Freezing fresh food

• The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for long period of time.

able packaging. The packaging should be air-
proof and waterproof. Do not put inside the

longer than necessary.

storage time:
- Fish and processed meat do not exceed 6
months;
- Cheese, poultry, pork, lamb do not exceed 8
months;
- Beef, fruit and vegetables do not exceed 12
months.
• Note: Above time is just for reference only.
5). Food defrosting
Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways:
- in a microwave oven;
- at room temperature;
- in the refrigerator (the cold given off by the
frozen food helps to keep other food cold);
- in a steam oven.
Poultry: It is particular important to observe
food hygiene rules when defrosting poultry. Do
not use liquid come from the defrosted poultry.
Pour it away and wash the container it was in,
the sink and your hands, wear gloves (not sup-
plied) if necessary.
Important: Never re-freeze partially or fully de-
frosted food. Consume defrosted food as soon
as possible for the reason of hygiene and due to
loss of nutritional value.
