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.

When first starting-up or after a period out of

use, before putting the products in the

compartment let the appliance run at least 2

hours on the higher settings.
If large quantities of food are to be stored,

remove all drawers and baskets from appliance

and place food on cooling shelves to obtain the

best performance.

Make sure that foods do not exceed

the load limit stated on the side of

the upper section (where applicable)

In the event of accidental defrosting,

for example due to a power failure, if

the power has been off for longer

that 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).

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;
