Before placing your already frozen food in the appliance

is intact,
• Put it in the appliance as soon as possible after purchase and transport it in a
suitable container.
A
dviCe for better food hygiene
• The storage period depends on the type of food; always read the producer's
instructions on the packaging.
• Do not eat food items after the use-by date has expired, as this could result in
food poisoning.
• Before freezing, label the packages of prepared food and fresh products so
that they can be identified, and label the contents and the freezing date.
• The maximum quantity of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on
the nameplate of the appliance. Please refer to it.
• Do not freeze too much food at one time. Instead, freeze small portions. The
faster the food is frozen, the more it will retain its qualities. Similarly, be sure to
package your food before freezing, so that it retains all its flavour and does not
ruin the other products. Never store food without packaging.
• Do not freeze hot food in the appliance, as this could make the previously
frozen food spoil.
• Do not put fresh food in contact with previously frozen food in the appliance.
This could affect the temperature of the previously frozen food.

sunlight, electric heating, hobs, etc.)

nothing preventing it from closing.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

d
efrosting
• The freezer must always be defrosted when the layer of ice is about 4 mm thick.
In any event, it must be defrosted at least once a year.
• To defrost, use a squeegee or any plastic utensil, but do not use metal instruments,
de-icing products or electric appliances such as hairdryers, steam cleaners, etc.
Switch off the appliance and unplug it before defrosting.
To defrost the appliance:
1. Choose a time when your appliance does not have much in it.
2. Remove the frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper, cover it and store
it in a cool place, but never on a metal surface.
3. Leave the door open and sponge as the ice melts.
4. To speed up the defrosting process, you can place a container with hot water in
the freezer and close the door.
5. When defrosting is complete, clean your appliance.

• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate
in the electrical components, causing a risk of electric shock ! Hot steam can
damage plastic parts.
• Do not pour water into the appliance to clean it, as this could affect its electrical
insulation properties.

thoroughly dry them.

inside or outside of your appliance.
