Freezing
For the packaging of foods to be frozen consult a spe-
cialized manual.
- Remember that you should never re-freeze products you
have allowed to thaw, even if only partially: cook the food,
then either eat (within 24 hours) or re-freeze it.
- When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not
touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place
the food that you wish to freeze in the top compartment
where the temperature will fall below -18°C, ideal for freez-
ing food properly. Remember that proper conservation de-
pends on the speed of freezing.
- Do not open the freezer door during freezing.
- Freeze only the quantities (in kg) shown on the data plate
on the left of the crisper.
- When using the refrigerator for the first time, or after it has
not been turned off, you can place food into it only after is
has been run for 6-8 hours, Then, insert the fresh food to be
frozen into the appropriate compartment freezer and turn
the knob A to 3. After approximately 24 hours, the freezing
process is complete.
Energy Saving Tips
- Install the appliance correctly
This means that the appliance should be installed away from
heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room.
THE ACTUAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF THE APPLIANCE
DEPENDS ON THE WAY THE SAME IS USED AND ON ITS
LOCATION.
The consumption tests were performed in 560mm deep
column units, the most common installation setting for this
appliance.
- Correct temperature settings
Set the refrigerator or freezer temperature knob to one of
the middle settings. Very low temperatures will not only con-
sume a great deal of energy but will neither improve or
lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively low tem-
perature may in fact spoil vegetables, cold meats and cheese.
- Do not overfill your appliance
Remember that proper storage of food requires good air cir-
culation. Overfilling your appliance will prevent this circula-
tion and overwork the compressor.

- For the best conservation and defrosting, remember to freeze
small portions; this will ensure rapid and uniform freezing.
Mark the freezing date and description of the contents on
the package.
- In the case of power failure or breakdown, do not open the
freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside
the freezer ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9-
14 hours.
- Do not store full bottles in the freezer since they could
explode when they freeze. (Remember that liquids increase
in volume when frozen).
- Fill the ice trays so that they are no more than 3/4 full.
- If the room temperature remains below 14°C for a long
period of time the freezer will not reach the temperatures
required for storage and the storage life will be shorter. In
this case frozen foodstuffs should be used within a relatively
short period of time.
- Shut the doors
Open your appliance only when strictly necessary; remem-
ber that every time you open the door most of the cold air
will be lost. The motor will have to run, and consume en-
ergy, to restore the correct temperature.
- Check the door seals
keep the gaskets clean and soft so that they fit closely against
the door to ensure that no cold air is lost.
- Never store hot foods
A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the
temperature significantly; allow food to cool to room tem-
perature before storing.
- Check your appliance for build up of ice
Remember to check the walls of the freezer for ice; when
the layer becomes too thick, defrost the freezer immediately
(See "Maintenance instructions").
