• Wash fruit and vegetables and put them in
the vegetable drawer.
• Put butter and cheese in special airtight
containers, aluminium foil or polythene bags.
• Make sure that milk bottles have a cap and
put them in the bottle shelf on the appliance
door.

onions and garlic that are without packag-
ing.
Freezing
• The rating plate gives the indication of the
maximum quantity of food that the freezer
can freeze in 24 hours.
• 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.
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

• 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!
14
• 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.
• 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.
After maintenance, connect the mains plug to
the mains socket.
