This avoids foods drying out, becoming paler or losing flavor and ensures
longer freshness. This also avoids transmission of odors.
•
Make sure foods with strong odors are properly wrapped and covered and
store them away from butter, milk and cream and other foods that can be
affected by strong odors.
•
Allow hot foods to cool before placing them in the refrigerator.
FROZEN
•
The freezing process takes 24 hours. Do not add any other food to be frozen
during this period.
•
When the freezer has not been used for a period of time and is restarted after
this, the appliance must be on for at least 2 hours before you can put products
to be frozen in the freezer.
•
Important: If the freezer defrosts accidentally - for example, in case of a power
outage - the frozen food must be consumed quickly or prepared immediately.
•
Excess ice in the freezer should be removed. Do not use sharp objects to
remove the ice. Use a plastic scraper.
If the ice is too thick to scrape away, defrost the freezer as follows:
1.
Unplug the freezer.
2.
Remove all food from the freezer.
3.
Leave the freezer door open and place a catch basin under the appliance to
catch the thawing water.
4.
When the defrosting is complete, dry the appliance completely.
5.
Plug the power cord back in to allow the appliance to operate again.
HOLIDAY
When going on vacation for a short period of time, you can leave the device
turned on.
When going on vacation for a longer period of time, it is best to do the following:
•
Remove all food from the refrigerator.
•
Remove the plug from the electrical outlet.
•
Clean the refrigerator thoroughly.
•
Leave the refrigerator door open to avoid mold and bad odors.
POWER FAILURE
Most power outages are recovered in 1 or 2 hours and will not change the
temperature of the refrigerator. You should, however, keep opening the refrigerator
door to a minimum during a power failure. During a longer power outage, you
should take measures to protect the food, e.g. by putting dry ice on the food.
