• Attention
Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the
bottle may burst when the liquid in it is
frozen.
Be careful with frozen products such
as coloured ice-cubes.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity
of your appliance in 24 hours. See the
rating label.
In order to maintain the quality of the
food, the freezing must be effected as
rapidly as possible.
Thus, the freezing capacity will not be
exceeded, and the temperature inside
the freezer will not rise.
• Attention
Keep the already deep-frozen food
always separated with freshly placed
food.
When deep-freezing hot food, the
cooling compressor will work until the
food is completely frozen. This can
temporarily cause excessive cooling of
the refrigeration compartment.
If you find the freezer door difficult
to open just after you have closed it,
don't worry. This is due to the pressure
difference which will equalize and allow
the door to open normally after a few
minutes.
You will hear a vacuum sound just after
closing the door. This is quite normal.
Fast freeze
If large amounts of fresh food are
going to be frozen, adjust the control
knob to max. 24 hours before putting
the fresh food in the fast freeze
compartment.
It is strongly recommended to
keep the knob at MAX. position at
least 24 hours to freeze maximum
amount of fresh food declared as
freezing capacity. Take special care not
to mix frozen food and fresh food.
Remember to turn the thermostat
knob back to its previous
position once food has frozen.
Defrosting of the appliance
Excessive build-up of ice will affect
the freezing performance of your
appliance.
It is therefore recommended that you
defrost your appliance at least twice
a year, or whenever the ice build-up
exceeds 7 mm.
