compartment let the appliance run at least 2

hours on the higher settings.

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).

This appliance is equipped with one or more

trays for the production of ice-cubes.

Do not use metallic instruments to

remove the trays from the freezer.

1. Fill these trays with water

2. Put the ice trays in the freezer compartment.

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.

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).

• A faint click noise from the temperature

regulator when the compressor switches on

or off.

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it

open longer than absolutely necessary.

To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating

liquids 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

Useful hints:

• Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and

place on the glass shelf above the vegetable

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

thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special

drawer(s) provided.

• 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.

• Bottles: these need a cap and should be

stored on the door bottle shelf, or (if

equipped) on the bottle rack.

• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not

packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

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 24 hrs. 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
