Helpful hints and tips
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 hrs. is shown on the rating 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 thoroughly cleaned,
foodstuffs;
•• prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly
and completely frozen and to make it possible subse-
quently to thaw only the quantity required;
•• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene 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;

•• water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from
the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin
to be freeze burnt;

Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you
should:
•• make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were
adequately stored by the retailer;
•• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the
foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible time;
•• not open the lid frequently or leave it open longer than
absolutely necessary.
•• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot
be refrozen.
•• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food
manufacturer.
Important! There is no need to clean the compressor area.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chem-
icals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this ap-
pliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer
casing of this appliance is only cleaned with warm water
with a little washing-up liquid added.
Defrosting the freezer
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness
of about 10-15 mm.
The best time to defrost the freezer when it contains no or
only a little food.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a cool place.
3. Leave the lid open , remove the plug from the defrost
water drain and collect all defrost water on a tray. Use
a scraper to remove ice quickly.
