to ensure rapid freezing.
Always choose high
quality fresh food and be
sure it is thoroughly clean
before you freeze it.
Wrap all foods in
aluminum foil or freezer
quality plastic bags and
make sure any air is
excluded.
Wrap frozen food when
you buy it and put it into
the freezer shortly.
Keep food for as short a
time as possible and
adhere to "Best Before",
"Use By" dates.
• 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)

Label everything

Many foods look the same when frozen, so
•
careful labeling will help avoid forgetting what
an item is. Storage times being exceeded could
cause food poisoning. On home cooked food
add the date as you will then be able to make
sure you don not eat food past the
recommended storage period.
You can buy special Fridge/Freezer labels and
•
pens. Labels come in different colors which can
help you use your Fridge/Freezer effectively.
For instance you could color code meat red
and vegetables green. Using a different color
label for each quarter of the year will help you
rotate your frozen food more efficiently.
•
Write the contents and date. Add the weight
and notes on cooking such as "thaw first", or
"cook from frozen" and keep a separate "log-
book" of what is in each drawer. This will save
opening the door and searching around
unnecessarily.
freezer. It may cause
"freezer burns" on lips.
Store poisonous or
dangerous substances in
the freezer.
If you're not at home for a long time
Turn off the refrigerator first and then unplug
•
the unit from the wall outlet.
Remove all the food.
•
• Clean the refrigerator.
Leave the lid open slightly to avoid possible
•
formation of condensation, mold, or odors.
Use extreme caution in the case of children.
•
The unit should not be accessible to child's
play.
• Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator
operating during vacations of less than three
weeks.
• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be
used for several months, remove all food and
unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the
interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold
growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking
it open if necessary or have the door removed.

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
5 mm 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.
As a temporary measure, this frost should be scraped
away using a plastic scraper. NEVER use a metal or
sharp instrument. This should be carried out if the
frost build-up cannot be scraped away, or if it begins
to interfere with the food storage. Chose a time
when the stock of frozen food is low and proceed as
follow:
1. Take out the frozen food, turn the Refrigerator
off at the mains supply and leave the doors
open. Ideally the frozen food should be put
into another Fridge/Freezer or refrigerator. If
this is not possible wrap the food, firstly in
several sheets of newspaper or large towels
