This information has been provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read it carefully before installing or using the appliance. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Installation ¥ ¥ ¥ This appliance is heavy. [. . . ] Do not add more food or open the doors during the freezing process. Never place food to be frozen in contact with already frozen food, as this would increase the temperature of the latter. Thawing food Frozen food can be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature depending on the time available. Small food items may even be cooked from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer. Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen. Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through. Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in the oven in their aluminium wrapping. A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the oven instructions, particularly regarding the placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in the oven. Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen. ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ Storing frozen foods After having started up the freezer, select the fast freeze function (knob F to position ÇSÈ) at least 3 hours before loading frozen food. Then return the knob to the normal storage temperature (knob F to the mid position). There are no particular problema in storing frozen foods. Packs may be placed next to or on top of each other. When buying frozen foods, get them home and into your freezer as quickly as possible. Packs which are damaged or show traces of moisture indicate that the product has not been stored at the correct temperature and that the food may trave lost its original quality. Partially defrosted foods must never be re-frozen and must be consumed as quickly as possible. Never consume products after the date shown on the pack. In the event of a short power cut, foods will not be affected, but you should avoid opening the appliance doors. Important If there is a power failure when food is in the freezer, do not open the door of the freezer compartment. Leave the doors ajar to allow the air to circulate and so avoid the formation of unpleasant smells. Replacing the bulbs Refrigerator compartment Unscrew the light cover as shown.
