How to use your
Refrigerator-Freezer
by a fault or power cut, take the following pre-
cautions:
 Keep the doors closed at all times.
 Find out how long the stoppage is expected to
last.
Once normal power is restored:
A) If the freezer is full and the stoppage has
been less than «Time for temperature Rise»
indicated for each model in the «Technical
Features» section, then no damage will have
been caused to the food.
B) If the freezer is not full, the cold will be lost
more quickly. If the food has not started to
thaw, then follow the instructions in «A».
C) If the food has begun to thaw, use them up as
quickly as possible, or cook them and refree-
ze them.
Refrigerator Compartment:
This compartment is for storing drinks and
fresh food products.
The temperature inside is very evenly distri-
buted. Make sure food does not touch the
back wall, since behind this surface is where the
cold is generated and food could bee partially
frozen. Also, this can impede the circulation of
cold air.
This appliance is provided with an automatic
defrosting system. Consequently you will some-
times notice a thin layer of ice or drops of water
on the rear wall.
Freezer Compartment
This freezer, is marked , and is suita-
ble for freezing fresh foodstuffs and keeping
food for long periods.
Freezing of food
Freezing should take place as quickly as possible, in
a maximum of 24 hours. The procedure for this is as
follows:
1... Set the «Temperature Control» «f» to position
maximum.
 If the freezer was switched off and empty, 3
hours prior to placing the food to be frozen.
 If the freezer is already operating and contains
frozen food, 24 hours before placing the food to
be frozen.
2... The maximum amount which can be frozen in 24
hours is indicated in the section «Technical
Features».
3... Place the food to be frozen inside the lower com-
partment of the freezer. You can also use the top
shelf. If necessary, the highest capacity of free-
zing is reached removing the lower basket.
4... Red light «b», may be on for a few hours during
freezing process. Switch-on time for this light will
vary according to amount of food being put in for
congelation and time while door remains open.
5... 24 hours after the food in the freezer, the free-
zing process can be regarded as complete.
6... Set the «Temperature Control» «f» in a middle
position.
Keeping frozen food
For optimum consevation, the temperature inside
the freezer compartment must be at least -18°C.
This temperature is adjusted automatically.
Check that the «Temperature Control» is in a midd-
le position. Sometimes it may be necessary (insuf-
ficient ventilation, high roon temperature, frequent
opening and closing of the door) to change the
position of the «Temperature Control».
