Important! 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 and then re-frozen (after
cooling).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator com-
partment or at room temperature, depending
on the time available for this operation.
Helpful hints and tips
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high, the tem-
perature regulator is on the higher setting
and the appliance is fully loaded, the com-
pressor may run continuously, causing frost
or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, turn
the temperature regulator toward lower
settings to allow automatic defrosting and
so a saving in electricity consumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• Do not store warm food or evaporating liq-
uids in the refrigerator.
• Do 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
• Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags
and place on the glass shelf above the veg-
etable 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 thor-
oughly cleaned and placed in the drawer.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,
directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking
will take longer.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one tray for
the production of ice-cubes.
1. Fill the tray with water.
2. Put the tray in the freezer compartment
Important! Do not use metallic instruments to
remove the tray from the freezer.
• Butter and cheese: these should be placed
in special airtight containers or wrapped in
aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude
as much air as possible.
• Milk bottles: 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 be kept in the refrigerator.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some hints:
• The maximum quantity of food which can be
frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating
plate.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No fur-
ther food to be frozen should be added dur-
ing this period.
• Freeze only top quality, fresh and thorough-
ly 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 poly-
thene 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.
