The table alongside shows the recommended maximum storage time for frozen fresh foods. 2 15 HOW TO USE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT 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 defrosting may have already begun. • When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag. • Place the items in the freezer 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. Making ice cubes Fill the ice cube tray 2/3 full and place it in the freezer compartment. • Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to detach the tray if it is stuck to the freezer bottom. Bend the ice tray slightly to remove the cubes. • HOW TO DEFROST THE APPLIANCE Before defrosting the freezer compartment, unplug the appliance from the mains or disconnect the electrical power supply. Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely automatic. Droplets of water on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment indicate that the periodic automatic defrost cycle is in progress. The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and into a container from which it evaporates. Clean the defrost water drain outlet regularly using the tool supplied with the appliance. This precaution ensures that defrost water is removed correctly (Fig. Defrosting the compartment Defrost the freezer compartment once or twice a year or when the formation of ice on the walls is excessive. The amount and speed at which the ice forms depends on ambient conditions and the frequency with which the door is opened. Ice formation is concentrated at the top of the compartment and does not affect the efficiency of the appliance. If possible, defrost the freezer compartment when it is nearly empty. [. . . ] If this operation is performed by After-sales Service it is not covered by the warranty. INSTALLATION • Install the appliance away from heat sources. Installation in a hot environment, direct exposure to the sun or installation near heat sources (heaters, radiators, cookers) will increase power consumption and should therefore be avoided. If this is not possible, the following minimum distances must be respected: • 30 cm from coal or paraffin stoves; • 3 cm from electric and/or gas stoves. Electrical connections must be made in accordance with local regulations. [. . . ]
