Using the freezer
Before use
Remove all securing tapes.Wash inside the appliance
with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml
to 0.5 litre of water).
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell
may linger. Dry thoroughly.
The freezer has the symbol which
means that it is suitable for freezing fresh
food and for long term storage of frozen and
deep-frozen food.
The temperature may be regulated between -15°C
and -24°C.
We suggest setting the internal temperature to
approximately -18°C, which guarantees proper
freezing and conservation of the frozen foods.
Attention!
Following first start up, the temperature displayed
can not correspond to the set temperature. During
this time it is possible that the temperature
displayed is different from the actual temperature.
Attention!
A difference between the temperature displayed and
the actual temperature is normal. Especially when:
• A new setting has recently been selected
• The door has been left open for a long time
• Warm food has been placed in the compartment
A difference of 5°C inside the compartment is quite
normal.
During normal functioning the indicator shows the
warmest temperature inside the compartment.
Frozen food storage
When first starting-up or after a period out of use,
before putting the products in the compartment let
the appliance run for at least 12 hours.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
if large quantities of food are to be stored, remove
all drawers and baskets (except for the last one at
the bottom) and place food on cooling shelves.
Pay careful attention not to exceed the load limit
stated on the side of the upper section (where
applicable).
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manufacturer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Warning
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in
the freezer.
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer, can cause low temperature skin
burns.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your
hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin
abrasions or “frost/freezer burns”.
Important
In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer
will not be affected if the power cut is short and if
the freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the
food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly
and must not be re-frozen .
