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. CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE
Defrosting
The defrost of fridge is manual.
Defrost your freezer 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 appliance 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.
