Defrosting of the
appliance
The fridge compartment defrosts
automatically. The thawing water flows
through the drain channel into a collection
container at the rear of the device.
If the fresh food section goes thru a cycle
defrost it is normal to see the formation of
water droplets (frozen) on the evaporator if
the water has not completely fallen of the
evaporator.
Check the flow of the thawed water from
time to time.It may become plugged
occasionally. Clean it with a q-tip or similar
(see the section "Cleaning and care").
Freezing
Freezing food
The freezing compartment is marked with
this symbol.
You can use the appliance for freezing fresh
food as well as for storing pre-frozen food.
Please refer to the recommendations given
on the packaging of your food.
Attention
Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle may
burst when the liquid in it is frozen.
Be careful with frozen products such as
colored ice-cubes.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your
appliance in 24 hours. See the rating label.
In order to maintain the quality of the food,
the freezing must be effected as rapidly as
possible.
Thus, the freezing capacity will not be
exceeded, and the temperature inside the
freezer will not rise.
Attention
Keep the already deep-frozen food always
separated with freshly placed food.
When deep-freezing hot food, the cooling
compressor will work until the food is
completely frozen. This can temporarily
cause excessive cooling of the refrigeration
compartment.
If you find the freezer door difficult to open
just after you have closed it, don't worry.
This is due to the pressure difference which
will equalize and allow the door to open
normally after a few minutes.
You will hear a vacuum sound just after
closing the door. This is quite normal.
