[. . . ] Freezer Instructions for installation and use UFA 430 I GB Uprigh Freezer Instructions for installation and use To maintain the EFFICIENCY and SAFETY of this appliance, we recommend: - use only the MANUFACTURER Service - use only ORIGINAL Spare Parts Safety - a good habit to get into. ATTENTION Read your manual carefully since it contains instructions which will ensure safe installation, use and maintenance of your appliance. Your Refrigerator is built to International safety standards (EN60) and has been awarded the European approval mark (IMQ) for compliance with UK electrical safety requirements. It also meets the EC standards on the prevention and elimination of radio interference (EC directive 87/ 308 - 02. 06. 89). This appliance is designed to be used indoors and under no circumstances should it be installed outside even if protected by a roof. [. . . ] At this point, the freezer is ready for use. Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance Tips on Freezing - Remember that you should never refreeze products you have allowed to thaw, even if only partially. Once thawed, cook the food, then either eat (within 24 hours) or refreeze it - Consult a specialized manual when packaging foods for freezing. - For the best storage and thawing, remember to freeze small portions. This will ensure rapid and uniform freezing. Mark package with a description of the contents and the date it was frozen. - Freeze only the quantities (in kg) shown on the data plate on the inside of the freezer. - Turn the "A" knob to the Super setting (the yellow "D" light will come on). - Place the fresh food that is being frozen into the top compartments (H), making sure not to place them near food that has already been frozen, but preferably in contact with the cooling surfaces. In fact, proper food storage depends on the speed at which the fresh food is frozen. For this reason, we suggest that the temperature knob be placed on the Super setting 24 hours before fresh food is placed in the appliance to be frozen. This operation is necessary for large quantities of food (up to the maximum capacity indicated on the data plate). - During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the freezer. - Placing substantial amounts of fresh food in the appliance may temporarily raise the temperature within the freezer (the red light will turn on). Since this is a temporary situation, it will not compromise the storage of the food that has already been frozen. - After 24 hours have passed and the fresh food has been frozen, turn the "A" knob back to one of the normal settings. Attention: Do not forget to change the temperature setting if you want to avoid useless wastes of energy. - In the case of power failure or breakdown, do not open the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 20 hours. - Do not place full bottles in the freezer because liquids increase in volume when they freeze and this could cause the bottles to burst. Storage For best storage of fresh-frozen and frozen foods, do not set the thermostat knob below 1, regardless of the ambient temperature of the room where the freezer is installed. For ambient temperatures of up to 25°-27°C, the thermostat knob should be set between 1 and 2, while for temperatures up to 32°C the setting should be between 2 and 3. Follow the instructions on the packages of frozen foods scrupulously. Thanks to the connected compartments, the water fills up the special shapes, after which you can cover the hole up with the special cap and place the ice tray in the inner door of the freezer compartment. Once the ice has formed, all you need to do is to knock the tray against a hard surface so that the ice cubes come away from their housing and come out of the same hole used to fill the tray with water. [. . . ] Simply, place a container in the position indicated in figure 3. To speed up defrosting, one or more pots of warm water can be placed inside the appliance. While defrosting the freezer, it is a good idea to wrap the food taken from the freezer in several layers of paper and place it in a cool place. Since the temperature of the frozen food will inevitably rise, it is best to consume it quickly as its storage life will have been shortened. Defrosting WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit. [. . . ]
