FREEZING
• Foods must be fresh.
• Freeze small amounts of food at a time in order to freeze quickly.
Never exceed the maximum amount indicated on the rating label.
• During freezing, do not open the freezer door.
• Food must be sealed, airtight.
• Separate food to be frozen by those already frozen.
• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of frozen foods.
• Once defrosted, do not ever refreeze foods and consume them
promptly.
NOTE:
The temperature doesn't usually need to be adjusted.
Only in case you find excessive cooling of the products contained
in the refrigerator compartment, gently set the warmest tempera-
ture levels (1,2).
On completion of freezing, set the warmest temperature levels
(1,2).
The rating plate states the maximum quantity of foods that can be
frozen, (see Figure 6).
(Figure 6)
N.B. Here you will find your appliance rating plate: it includes all the data to be transmitted to the Customer Service should a fault arise.
Important: if your ambient temperature is high, the appliance may operate continuously, thus building up excessive frost
on the inner wall of the fridge. Set the warmest temperature levels (1,2).
DEFROSTING
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
During normal functioning, the refrigerator is automatically defrosted.
There is no need to dry the drops of water present on the rear wall or to
eliminate the frost (depending on functioning).
The water is conveyed to the rear part through the drain hole found there
and the heat of the compressor causes it to evaporate.
• Keep the drainage pipe (Fig. 6) clean in the refrigerator compartment to
keep it free of water.
Defrosting of the fridge compartment occurs automatically in this
product.
A small amount of frost or drops of water on the back of the fridge
compartment when the fridge is working is normal.
Make sure the water outlet is always clean and make sure foods
do not touch the back or sides of the freezer compartment.
We recommend you defrost the freezer area when the layer of
frost is more than 3 mm thick.
