KNOW YOUR APPLIANCE The appliance you have just bought, marked by the symbol, allows the freezing - in of fresh and cooked food, the production of ice cubes and the storage of frozen food. Please read these instructions carefully, as they include a description of your appliance and the useful hints to enable you to achieve the best performances required to freeze fresh food and to store already frozen food. [. . . ] The ideal storage temperature of frozen food for a long time is -18°C. In normal ambient conditions (temperature between +20°C and +25°C), we suggest you adjust the thermostat control knob to a middle position. To ADJUSTMENT OF THE TEMPERATURE 6 501960833044GB. fm Page 7 Monday, January 24, 2005 3:56 PM obtain colder or warmer temperatures than -18°C, turn the thermostat control knob to the highest or lowest setting respectively. We remind you that internal temperatures are affected by the location of the appliance, the temperature of the surrounding air, the frequency of the door opening. The setting of the thermostat may have to be varied to allow for these factors. To check the temperature of the food stored, place the thermometer (if delivered) under the food; if it is placed on the food it will indicate the temperature of the air which does not correspond to that of the food stored. USE OF THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT This appliance is equipped with an acoustic alarm which sounds when the door is left open. In case of prolonged door opening, to stop the alarm pull switch (6) (Fig. 1). 6) The amount of fresh food which can be frozen in a 24 hours period at an ambient temperature of +25° C is stated on the rating plate (Fig. - To freeze the maximum quantity of foods allowed, switch on the fast freeze facility (4) (yellow light on) 24 h prior to loading the foods, which should be positioned directly on the grid without using the baskets. At completion of the freezing-in operation, switch off the fast freeze facility (yellow light off). - The freezing-in time diminishes for loads less than the maximum. - Very small loads can be frozen without switching on the fast freeze facility. Never refreeze partially or completely defrosted foods. Prepare and wrap foods to be frozen in aluminium or plastic foils or place them in appropriate containers. Label the packets indicating the freezing-in date and the contents. The freezer compartment maintains the storage temperature for 15 hours approx. We suggest however you leave the door closed during this time. - Fizzy drinks should not be frozen and some products, such as flavoured water ices, should not be consumed too cold. Note: Due to the efficiency of the door seal, it is not always possible to open the freezer door immediately after closing it. Wait some minutes before trying to open it. PRODUCTION OF ICE CUBES 3/4 fill the ice cube trays with water and place them in the low temperature compartment. If the trays stick to the bottom of the compartment, do not detach them with sharp or cutting instruments, which could damage the appliance. [. . . ] After cleaning, reconnect the appliance to the mains supply. 13) If you plan to be away for a long time, disconnect the appliance from the mains, empty and clean the inside. Leave the door open to prevent the appliance from smelling musty. If you plan to be away for a short time, let the appliance operate normally. [. . . ]
