Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the new owner can be acquainted with the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings. These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You must read them carefully before installing or using the appliance. General Safety I I I I I I I I I I I I This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. [. . . ] The maximum amount of food which is freezable in 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate. This is to be found on the bottom left-hand side. You should never freeze all at once a greater quantity of foods than the maximum indicated on the appliance's rating plate. Storage of frozen food When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least two hours in the «fast freeze» mode before storing frozen food. Important If there is a power failure when food is in the freezer, do not open the door of the freezer. The frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration (up to 20 hours) and the freezer is full, otherwise, it is recommended that the food should be used within a short time (a temperature increase of the frozen food shortens its safe storage period). To remove the drawers, proceed as follows: pull the drawer out until it comes to a stop, then tilt it upwards (see figure). Warning light This light flashes when the temperature inside the appliance has increased so much as to jeopardize the preservation of food in the compartment (warmer than -12°C). When the appliance is switched on for the first time or when food is placed in the compartment for freezing, this light flashes until the temperature has reached the level required for correct storage. Sound signal alarm (D) This appliance incorporates an alarm which gives off a sound signal when the temperature inside the freezer has risen to a point where the safe storage of frozen food is no longer ensured. This sound can be turned off pushing the button Freezing Calendar The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods. 1-2 3-4 3-6 3-6 3-6 3-6 10 -12 10 -12 10 -12 10 -12 The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing. PR001c Freezing of fresh foods To quick-freeze foods when the appliance has not been in use, switch on the freezer and let it run on the quick-freeze setting for at least three hours before putting the food to be frozen in the compartment. If instead the appliance is already in operation, it should run on the quick-freeze setting for at least 24 hours before the foods are put in the freezer. Once the foods have been placed in the freezer, the freezing operation can be considered to be complete 24 hours later. Once freezing is complete, the freezer should be reset for normal storage use. Food to be frozen has to be placed in the appliance's two top compartments; if freezing only a small amount of food, use the top compartment. Thawing Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation. Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer. Ice-cube production This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with water, then put them in the freezer. Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer. 17 TIPS Tips for freezing fresh foods To help you get the best out of the freezing process, here are a few hints: I Freeze only good-quality, fresh and well-cleaned foods. Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of soda. To guarantee a safe operation of the fridge, once a year remove the ventilation grille at the base and clean the air channels with a vacuum cleaner. Defrosting The freezer compartment will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 1/4". During this operation it is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs. However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out and it is advisable to carry out this operation when the appliance is empty. 18 To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows: 1. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place. [. . . ] in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet.
