Helpful Hints And Tips - IKEA FROSTIG SC100/17 Mode D'emploi

ENGLISH
The numbers indicate storage times in
months for the appropriate types of frozen
goods. Whether the upper or lower value of
the indicated storage time is valid depends
on the quality of the foods and treating be-
fore freezing.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of
use, before putting the products in the com-
partment let the appliance run at least 2
hours on the higher settings.
Important! 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).

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 set-
ting and the appliance is fully loaded, the
compressor may run continuously, causing
frost or ice on the evaporator. If this hap-
pens, turn the temperature regulator to-
ward lower settings to allow automatic de-
frosting and so a saving in electricity con-
sumption.
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.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator com-
partment 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.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one tray for
the production of ice-cubes.
1. Fill the tray with water.
2. Put the tray in the freezer compartment
Important! Do not use metallic instruments to
remove the tray from the freezer.
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 thor-
oughly cleaned and placed in the drawer.
• Butter and cheese: these should be placed
in special airtight containers or wrapped in
aluminium foil or polythene bags to ex-
clude 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 refrig-
erator.
