Always choose high quality fresh food and be
sure it is thoroughly clean before you freeze it.

Freezing Fresh Food
Place fresh food to be frozen near the side walls to ensure fast freezing and away from already
frozen food, if possible.
Freezing capacity of your appliance in a 24 hours period is 5 kg (10lb).
Never exceed this maximum capacity. Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The
quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the center as quickly as
possible.
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
It’s suggested to set the temperature at 4°C in the fridge compartment, and, whether
possible, at -18°C in the freezer compartment.
For most food categories, the longest storage time in the fridge compartment is
achieved with colder temperatures. Since some particular products (as fresh fruits and vegetables)
may be damaged with colder temperatures, it is suggested to keep them in the crisper drawers,
whenever present. If not present, maintain an average setting of the thermostat.
For frozen food, refer to the storage time written on the food packaging. This storage
time is achieved whenever the setting respects the reference temperatures of the compartment
(one-star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars -18°C)
ENERGY SAVING
For better energy saving we suggest:
Installing the appliance away from heat sources and not exposed to direct sunlight and
in a well-ventilated room.
Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator to avoid increasing the internal temperature
and therefore causing continuous functionalizing of the compressor.
Do not excessively stuff foods so as to ensure proper air circulation.
Defrost the appliance in case there is ice to facilitate the transfer of cold.
In case of absence of electrical energy, it is advisable to keep the refrigerator door
closed.
Open or keep the doors of the appliance open as little as possible.
Avoid adjusting the setting to temperatures too cold.
Remove dust present on the rear of the appliance.
TAKE CARE
Defrosting
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm (1/4”) has formed.
Alternatively you may switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. Extract
the water conduit and put in a water container.
