freezer compartment. Avoid direct contact
with already frozen food. To freeze the
quantity of food shown on the serial tag,
remove the top drawer and place the food
directly on the rack.
Helpful hints and tips
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave
it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high, the
temperature regulator is on the higher
setting and the appliance is fully loaded,
the compressor may run continuously,
causing frost or ice on the evaporator.
If this happens, turn the temperature
regulator toward lower settings to allow
automatic defrosting and so a saving in
electricity consumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
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.
Hints for refrigeration
• 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
drawer.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice cube tray up to 2/3 with water
and place in the freezer compartment. Do
not use sharp or pointed objects to detach
the tray.
• 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.
• Milk bottles: these should have a cap
and should be stored in the bottle rack
on the door.
• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic:
if not packed, must not be kept in the
refrigerator.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some hints:
• The maximum quantity of food which can
be frozen in 24 hours 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 make it possible subsequently to
thaw only the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil
or polythene and make sure that the
packages are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to
touch food which is already frozen, thus
avoiding a rise in temperature of the
latter.
