Important: Storing vegetables with high water content can cause condensation to form on the glass shelf of the crisper drawer: this will not affectthe correct operation of the appliance. This compartment can be used to store frozen foods for the period of time indicated on packaging. The freezer can also be used to freeze fresh food by positioning it on the rack; place frozen food in the lower part of the compartment so that there is no contact with fresh food that has yet to be frozen. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the data plate (at the side of the crisper drawer). Note: In the event of a power cut, the freezer compartment will maintain a sufficiently low temperature for food storage. However, it is advisable to avoid opening the compartment door during such periods. • Press the freeze button (F), where provided, 24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer in order to improve the freezing process. • Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for freezing fresh food. • Arrange fresh food to be frozen in the top compartment leaving sufficient space around each pack for the air to circulate. The lower grid (if supplied) can be removed in order to increase the compartment capacity. • Remove the food from the freezer, wrap in newspaper and group together in a cool place or in a portable cooler. • Unplug the appliance from the mains. • Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt. • Remove the defrost water from the compartment bottom. • Clean the interior with a sponge soaked in warm water and/or neutral detergent. Note: Do not use sharp or pointed metal instruments to scrape off ice; do not heat the freezer compartment artificially • Rinse the interior and dry thoroughly. • Put the food back into the freezer. • Plug in the appliance once again.
