If the door is left open for more than 2 minutes the Door Open Alarm will sound (see paragraph “Alarms”). • When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag. Place the items in the low temperature compartment as soon as you get home. If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze 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. • • • • • Freezing fresh food • The amount of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance date plate. • • Arrange the fresh food next to the low temperature compartment, leaving sufficient space around each pack for the air to circulate and avoiding contact with already frozen food.

Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to detach the tray if it is stuck to the low temperature compartment bottom. Clean the freezer compartment using a sponge dampened in a solution of warm water and neutral detergent. Note: Do not use sharp or pointed metal instruments to scrape off ice; do not heat the low temperature compartment artificially. Defrosting and cleaning the low temperature compartment For optimum performance, we recommend to defrost the low temperature compartment once or twice a year, or when the ice on the walls reaches a thickness of about 3 mm. If possible, defrost the freezer when it is nearly empty. Remove the food from the freezer, wrap in a newspaper and group together in a cool place or in a portable cooler. [. . . ] The appliance is excessively noisy. Contact the After-sales service. Check that the control panel lock function is not enabled (the green control panel lock LED (6) must be off. Check that the appliance is installed correctly away from heat sources (see paragraph “Installation”). Noise variations due to the normal operating cycle are normal. The compressor runs continuously. Check whether the fast cooling function has been selected. Check whether fresh food has been placed in the freezer recently. [. . . ]
