The freezer compartment can be used for freezing fresh and cooked food, making ice cubes, and storing frozen and deep-frozen food; defrosting is a manual procedure. The refrigerator compartment, which has an automatic defrost feature, is used for the storage of fresh food and beverages. To get the most out of your new appliance, read the user handbook thoroughly. [. . . ] Important: The table alongside shows the recommended maximum storage time for frozen fresh foods. When purchasing frozen food products: • ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored under optimal conditions and deferring may have already begun. • When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag. • Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer. • If food has defrozen even partially, do not refreeze it. • Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum. Respect the best-before date on the package. • Always observe the storage information on the package. Making ice cubes • Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 with water and place it at the bottom of the freezer compartment. If the tray sticks to the bottom of the compartment, do not use pointed or sharp instruments to free it. . MONTHS FOOD 16 33114aGb. fm5 Page 17 Tuesday, November 13, 2001 5:45 PM HOW TO USE THE MEAT/FISH BOX The appliance is equipped with a separate box for optimum storage of Meat and Fish. The temperature inside the box is approximately 3-5° C lower than in other parts of the refrigerator compartment. This enables considerably prolonged storage of fresh food (meat and fish) without the need to freeze. Furthermore, food retains its original freshness and nutritional properties. Do not store fruit or vegetables in this box, since the temperature may drop below 0° C, causing water contained in the food to freeze. Temperature indicator • • The temperature inside the box is displayed on an indicator on the box door (fig. The coloured section indicates the ideal temperature range for storage of meat and fish. The temperature inside the box requires approximately one hour to stabilize. • Important: The temperature inside the “Meat/Fish” box is dependent on the refrigerator compartment temperature. Therefore, if the temperature indicated for the box falls within section press button A ° C to increase the refrigerator temperature. Similarly, press button A ° C to lower the refrigerator temperature if the indicator falls within section “°C”. The temperature inside the “Meat/Fish” box will correct itself automatically. °C Fig. 1 Removing the box. To use the refrigerator without the “Meat/Fish” box, proceed as follows (see Fig. 2): 1. Remove the “Meat/Fish” box lid by releasing the two side clips on the front underside (see Fig. 3). Press button (D) for 3 seconds; the button light will go out. [. . . ] If it has not, disconnect the appliance from the power supply and wait for about an hour before switching on again. If the problem persists after this course of action, contact After-sales Service. Specify: • the nature of the problem. • the Service number (the number after the word SERVICE on the data plate on the inside of the appliance). [. . . ]
