Storage of frozen food

When ﬁrst starting-up or after a period out of

use, before putting the products in the

compartment let the appliance run at least 4

hours on the higher settings.

In the event of accidental defrosting, for

example due to a power failure, if the

power has been off for longer than the

value shown in the technical character-

istics chart under “rising time”, the de-

frosted food must be consumed quickly

or cooked immediately and then refrozen

(after cooling).

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being

used, can be thawed in the refrigerator com-

partment or at room temperature, depending

on the time available for this operation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,

directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking

will take longer.

Normal operating sounds

The following sounds are normal during

operation:

• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from

coils sound when refrigerant is pumped.

• A whirring and pulsating sound from the

compressor when refrigerant is pumped.

• A sudden cracking noise from inside appli-

ance caused by thermic dilatation (a natural

and not a dangerous physical phenom-

enon).

• A faint click noise from the temperature

regulator when the compressor switches

on or off.

Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it

open longer than absolutely necessary.

• If the ambient temperature is high and

the Temperature Regulator is set to low

temperature and the appliance is fully

loaded, the compressor may run continu-

ously, causing frost or ice on the evapora-

tor. If this happens, set the Temperature

Regulator toward warmer settings to allow

automatic defrosting and so a saving in

electricity consumption.

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing

process, here are some important hints:

• The maximum quantity of food which can

be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rat-

ing plate.

• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No

further food to be frozen should be added

during this period.

• Only freeze top quality, fresh and thorough-

ly cleaned, foodstuffs.

• Prepare food in small portions to enable it

to be rapidly and completely frozen and to

make it possible subsequently to thaw only

the quantity required.

• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or

plastic and make sure that the packages

are airtight.

• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch

food which is already frozen, thus avoiding

a rise in temperature of the latter.

• Lean foods store better and longer than

fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of

food.

• Frozen liquids, if consumed immediately

after removal from the freezer compartment,

can possibly cause the skin to be freeze

burnt.
