These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24 hours). • Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be stored above the grill in the freezer compartment and if possible be in direct contact with the walls (side and rear), where the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees rapid freezing. • Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break. • The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4) !If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours. If the room temperature drops below 14°C for an extended period of time, the ideal temperature will not be reached in the freezer compartment and food preservation will be reduced. ICE tray The Easy Ice trays are set into the freezer door to maximise the space within the freezer. The trays are dripfree and sealed to prevent food from tainting the ice cubes. Pull out the tray by pushing it up and then outwards (see diagram). Check that the tray is ompletely empty and fill it with water through the opening provided. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to melt and empty the tray). Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments each mould fills with water (see diagram). Close the opening with the lid provided and put the tray back, placing the top part in the corresponding housing and allowing it to drop in again. When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately 8 hours) knock the tray against a hard surface and wet the outside so that the ice cubes come loose and take them out through the opening. WATER LEVEL WATER LEVEL MAX MAX 16 Maintenance and care Switching the appliance off During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply: It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs on (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact. Defrosting the freezer compartment If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost manually: 1. Set the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the position . Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in another freezer or in a cool place. [. . . ] The refrigerator and the freezer do not cool well. Possible causes / Solutions: • The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or not far enough to make contact, or there is no power in the house. • • • • • The doors do not close properly or the seals are damaged. The TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is not in the correct position The refrigerator or the freezer have been over-filled. [. . . ]
