Using the freezer to its full potential
• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has
already been defrosted. These foods must be
cooked and eaten (within 24 hours).
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come
into contact with food that has already been
defrosted. Fresh food must be stored above the grill
in the freezer compartment and if possible be in
direct contact with the walls (side and rear), where
the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees
rapid freezing.
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and
which are corked or hermetically sealed in the
freezer because they could break.
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen
daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical
properties located on the bottom left side of the
refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4)
! Do not open the door during freezing.
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the
freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature
inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for
at least 9 -14 hours.
! If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an
extended period of time, the ideal temperature will not
be reached in the freezer compartment and food
preservation will be reduced.
Ice tray
The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer
drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no longer
comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer
compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water
during filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after
filling with water is also provided).
1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up.
Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with
water through the opening provided.
2. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX
WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes
from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to
melt and empty the tray).
3. Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected
compartments each mould fills with water ( see
diagram ).
4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the
tray back, placing the top part in the corresponding
housing and allowing it to drop in again.
5. When the ice has formed (minimum time
approximately 8 hours) knock the tray against a hard
surface and wet the outside so that the ice cubes
come loose and take them out through the opening.
