Freezing - Hoover HVBF6182BFHK Guia Rapida De Uso Y Mantenimiento

Indicator of the temperature in the coldest zone
(not all models)
Some models are equipped with an indicator of the temperature in
the refrigerator compartment in the coldest zone, for you to be able to
control the average temperature.
This symbol indicates the coldest zone of the refrigerator. (fi g. 9)
Check that on the indicator of the temperature, the word OK is clearly
shown. (fi g. 10)
If the word does not appear, this means that the temperature is too
high:
adjust the temperature to a cooler setting and wait for about 10 hours.
Recheck the indicator: if necessary, proceed with a new adjustment.
NOTE:
If large quantities of food are inserted or the refri-
gerator door frequently opened, it is normal for the
indicator fails to show OK. Wait at least 10 h before
adjusting the knob to a higher setting.

Practical recommendations
Place food on the shelves in a homogeneous manner to allow air to
circulate properly and to cool it.
• Avoid contact between the food and the far end walls of the refrigera-
tor compartment.
• Do not introduce hot foods as they can cause deterioration of existing
ones and increase energy consumption.
• Remove the wrappings of foods before inserting them.
• Do not put in dishes or other containers unless previously washed.
•Do not obstruct the cold air ventilator openings with food.
Fig.9
• Do not cover the glass shelf of the vegetable bin to allow for proper
air circulation.
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment as they can burst
when frozen.
• ln the case of prolonged power outage, keep the doors closed so that
foods remain cold as long as possible.
• The installation of the appliance in a hot and humid location, with
frequent door openings and storing large amounts of vegetables can
cause the formation of condensate and affect the performance of the
unit itself.
• To prevent excessive energy consumption, the frequent or prolonged
opening of the doors is not recommended.
Fig.10
• Foods must be fresh.
• Freeze small amounts of food at a time in order to freeze quickly.
Never exceed the maximum amount indicated on the nameplate.
• During freezing, do not open the freezer door.
• Food must be sealed, airtight.
• Separate food to be frozen by those already frozen.
• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of frozen foods.
• Once defrosted, do not ever refreeze foods and consume them
promptly.
WARNING:
Do not touch the internal parts or frozen food with moist or wet
hands as it can cause burns.
