ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR FREEZER
Do not put fresh food next to food that has already been frozen to avoid causing the frozen food to warm up.
The maximum weight of food that you can freeze over 24 hours is shown on the information plate
(inside your appliance's refrigerator section near the bottom of the left-hand wall) under the heading:
"CAPACITE DE CONGELATION/ FREEZING CAPACITY (kg/24h)".
DEFROSTING FOOD
You can defrost food in five different ways:
- By putting them in your appliance's refrigerator section for several hours
- By leaving them to defrost gently at ambient temperature
- In a conventional oven at a very low temperature (40/50°C)
- In a microwave oven
- By cooking them immediately
Defrosting them in the refrigerator is the slowest but safest method.
Never refreeze food once it has defrosted, even partially, without cooking it first.
We would advise you not to place any items you have just taken out of the freezer straight into your
mouth (ice cream, ice cubes, etc.), they will be at a very low temperature and you risk frostbite. Avoid
touching frozen or deep-frozen food with wet hands; you may stick to the food. We recommend that
you only defrost food for immediate use.
6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Defrosting
The defrost of fridge part is automatic and for freezer part is manual.
Defrost your appliance when frost is accumulated on the evaporator is about 2mm:
▪
Set the thermostat to "OFF" for defrosting.
▪
Unplug your appliance from the main power.
▪
Remove all contents from the appliance.
▪
Leave the fridge door open to allow melting of the ice.
▪
Remove large pieces of ice if necessary with dishcloth or something that will not damage the walls.
▪
Do not use hot water or other electric heaters to melt the accumulated ice.
▪
After defrosting, remove the accumulated ice / water and try the appliance with a soft cloth.
▪
Restart the unit according to the start instructions. Never use a knife or other sharp instrument to
scrape ice inside.
Cleaning inside the fridge
Before maintenance, switch off the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket. After
defrosting you should clean the fridge internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse with
warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in warm soapy water and ensure
they are completely dry before replacing in the fridge. Condensation will form on the back wall of the Fridge;
however, it will normally run down the back wall and into the drain hole behind the salad bin.
Cleaning outside the fridge
Before maintenance, switch off the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket. Use
standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the fridge exterior.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the fridge and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a
soft brush attachment.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the fridge.
