Refrigeration
• Do not put hot food in the fridge. Wait until
it becomes cool.
• Do not put in the fridge liquids that evapo-
rate.
• Put all the food, that has a strong flavour or
odour, in containers.
• Make sure that there is air circulation around
the food.
• Put all types of meat in polythene bags. Put
them on the glass shelf above the vegetable
drawer. Do not keep the meat in the fridge
for more than 2 days.
• Put a cover on cooked food and cold dishes
and put them on one of the shelves.
• Wash fruit and vegetables and put them in

containers, aluminium foil or polythene bags.

put them in the bottle shelf on the appliance
door.

Freezing

Care and cleaning
Caution! Before maintenance,
disconnect the mains plug from the mains
socket.
Cleaning
• Clean the appliance and the accessories
regularly.
• Clean all the parts of the appliance and all
the accessories only with warm water and
neutral detergent. Make sure that the appli-
ance and the accessories are fully dry.
• Clean the gasket of the door regularly. To
replace a damaged gasket, contact the
Service.
14
• The freezing of the food is completed in 24
hours. Do not put other food in the freezer
during this time.
• Put the food in small quantities in the freez-
er. This helps to freeze quickly the food and
to thaw only the necessary quantity.
• Wrap the food in aluminium foil or put it in
polythene bags. Make sure that the packag-
ing is airtight.
• Do not put fresh food together with frozen
food. This to prevent the temperature of the
frozen food to increase.
• The storage time for fat food is shorter than
for non-fat food or for low-fat food. The salt
decreases the storage time of the food.
• We recommend that you write, on each
packaging, the date of when the food was
frozen.
Storage of the frozen food
• When you buy frozen food, make sure that
you put it in the freezer in a very short time.
• When you thaw frozen food, you must cook
it in a very short time. It is not possible to
freeze again food that was frozen before.
• Make sure that the use-by date is not ex-
pired. You can find the information on the
packaging of the food.
• Clean the grill of the condenser and the
compressor, that are behind the appliance,
with a brush. This helps to decreases the
energy consumption and keeps the appli-
ance in good conditions.
Important!
• Be careful not to pull, move or to cause
damage to the pipes or the cables.
• Be careful not to cause damage to the cool-
ing unit.
• Do not clean the appliance with abrasive
products, abrasive cleaning pads, solvents,
detergents with perfume or wax polish.
