[. . . ] Always ensure that there is adequate ventilation as a failure to do this will result in component failure and possible food loss. Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. Important: if the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent. Parts which heat up should not be exposed. [. . . ] If the power failure lasts longer, the food must be consumed as rapidly as possible, or otherwise cooked and re-frozen again. Note On the inner door you will find a list of foods followed by a number. These numbers indicate the maximum period of time for which the food in question may be conserved (in months). Fast freezing To start fast-freezing food, press button (B). Pilot light (D) will come on. Frozen food storage When the freezer is being turned on for the first time, or after a prolonged period of disuse, turn the N/S knob to the Quick-freezing position and then wait at least two hours before introducing the food to be conserved. You may then return the knob to the ÇNÈ position. This two-hour waiting period may be avoided if the freezer has already been in operation. Warning light Warning light (E) lights up when the temperature inside the freezer compartment has increased to a value which might endanger the long-term storage of food in the compartment. When the appliance is switched on for the first time or when food is placed in the compartment for freezing, it is normal for this light to remain on until the temperature has reached the level required for correct storage. Thawing out frozen foods Frozen foods must be allowed to thaw out before use either in the refrigerator (meat, poultry, fish, etc. ) or at room temperature (ali other foods) according to the available time. Frozen products which come in small-sized or separate packages may be cooked directly without thawing; obviously, in this case, the cooking time will fast a little longer. Freezing food Set the freezer to quick-freezing operational status. Wait at least 3 hours before introducing fresie foods into the freezer if it has only recently been turned on. If the freezer has already been working for some time, turn the respective knob to the ÇSÈ position at least 24 hours before introducing the food into the freezer in order to ensure better freezing results. This period of time may be shortened according to the quantity of food. Do not open the freezer door too often and leave it open only for the minimum time necessary. Unnecessary increases in temperature will notably reduce the duration of the frozen food conservation. Make sure that all frozen food packages are intact; otherwise the food may trave spoiled. If such packages present signs of swelling or humidity marks, this means that the food has not been conserved correctly, implying that the product has lost some of its original quality. When buying frozen foods, carry them in a thermally insulated shopping bag whenever possible. In any case, always purchase frozen foods at the end of your shopping. Wrap the frozen foods in newspaper and then put them into the freezer as soon as you arrive home. Always check the frozen foods you buy carefully at the moment of purchase, because even partiallythawed foods must not be re-frozen but must be consumed within 24 hours of purchase. To make the most of the freezerÕs storage capacity, remove drawer (A) and baskets (B) and (C); place frozen and deep-frozen products directly on the compartment shelves, making sure they are not stacked above the loading line. ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ 25 MAINTENANCE Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.
