First use

Cleaning the interior

Daily Use

Freezing Fresh Food

• The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food fora long time.
• Place the fresh food to be frozen in the bottom compartment. · The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate. · The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add
  other food to be frozen.

Storing Frozen Food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use. Before putting the product in the compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.

IMPORTANT!
In the event of accidental defrosting, for example the power has been off for longer than the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under “rising time”, the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after cooked).

Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be used, can be thawed in the freezer compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation.Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer. In this case, cooking will take longer.

Food Storage

Tips Refrigerator

• To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in sealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator compartment.
• Make sure no items are in direct contact with the rear wall of the appliance as frost will develop and packaging will stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door frequently.
• We recommend that meat and clean fish are loosely wrapped and stored on the glass shelf just above the vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the best storage conditions.
• Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper containers. Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylenesensitive vegetables (green leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene releasing fruits (banana, peach, apricot, fig etc.).
• Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.
• Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.
• To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat products with fruit and vegetables. Water leaking from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should package meat products and clean any leakages on the shelves.
• Do not put food in front of the air flow passage.
• Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date.
• See Food Storage Guide in Appendix

NOTE!
Potatoes, onions and garlic should not be stored in the refrigerator. The table below in the Appendix is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your refrigerator compartment.

Freezer

• The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes
• For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly, that is the packaging should be air tight and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.
• Do not store fresh food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• Before freezing fresh food, divide it into portions that can be consumed in one sitting.
• Consume thawed frozen food within a short period of time after defrosting
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment as it will thaw the frozen food.
• Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions on food packaging when storing frozen food. If no information is provided food, should not be stored for ore than 3 months from the date of purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it has been stored under appropriate conditions and that the packaging is not damaged.
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and placed in the freezer as soon as possible
• Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling. It is probable that it has been stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food, and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
• The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance label. · See Food Storage Guide in Appendix

NOTE!
If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you will find that it will not open easily. This is normal. Once equilibrium has been reached, the door will open easily.

IMPORTANT!

• Never refreeze thawed frozen food.
• The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise,basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a long period of time. Therefore, add small amounts of spices to food to be frozen, or the desired spice should be added after the food has thawed.
• The storage time of food is dependent on the type of oil used. Suitable oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and butter. Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
• Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.

MAINTENANCE

Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.
Do not wash your appliance by pouring water on it.
Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps for cleaning the appliance.

After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When you have finished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the mains supply with dry hands.

• Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical components.
• The appliance should be cleaned regularly using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories separately by hand with soap and water. Do not wash accessories in a dish washer.
• Clean the condenser with a brush at least twice a year. This will help you to save on energy costs and increase productivity.

The power supply must be disconnected during cleaning!

Defrosting

• Your appliance performs automatic defrosting. The water formed as a result of defrosting passes through the water collection spout, flows into the vaporization container behind your appliance and evaporates there.
• Make sure you have disconnected the plug of your appliance before cleaning the vaporization container.
• Remove the vaporization container from its position by removing the screws as indicated. Clean it with soapy water at specific time intervals. This will prevent odors from forming.

LED Lamp Replacement
If your appliance has LED lighting contact the help desk as this should be changed by technician.
