HOW TO DEFROST THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT (DEPENDING ON THE MODEL) In “No-Frost” appliances, defrosting of freezer is completely automatic. In other appliances, defrost the freezer compartment once or twice a year, or when the ice on the walls reaches a thickness of about 3mm. If possible, defrost the freezer when it is nearly empty. • Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply (refrigerator compartment switches off too).
HOW TO FREEZE FRESH FOOD You can use the freezer compartment to freeze food. The amount of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours, at an ambient temperature of +25°C, is indicated on the data plate. How to proceed: • Wrap and seal the food in: aluminium foil, cling film, watertight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or special freezer containers. • Place food in the top compartment, leaving enough space for air to circulate around packs.
FOOD STORAGE CHART Storage time will vary according to the quality of the food, the type of packaging or wrap used (moisture and vapour proof), and the storage temperature (which should be -18°C).
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Before carrying out any cleaning operations, unplug the appliance. • Clean the inside of the freezer compartment when defrosting. • Periodically clean the inside of the refrigerator compartment with a sponge dampened in warm water and/or neutral detergent. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products. • Clean the outside with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive products, scourers, stain-removers (e.g. acetone, trichloroethylene) or vinegar.
