SOME IMPORTANT RULES FOR THE CORRECT USE OF THE
FREEZER
• Never place hot foods in the freezer.
• Never place spoiled foods in the unit.
• Don’t overload the unit.
• Don’t open the lid unless necessary.
• Should the freezer be stored without use for long periods, it is sug-
gested, after a careful cleaning, to leave the lid open to allow the air
to circulate inside the unit in order to avoid the possibility of
condensation, mold or odors.
