- When you freeze fresh foods with a ‘use by /best before/best by/’ date, you must freeze them before this date expires.
- Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not be re frozen.
- Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly
DEFROSTING
- When you freeze fresh foods with a ‘use by /best before /best by/’ date, you must freeze them before this date expires. Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not be re-frozen. Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly.
Refrigerator compartment defrosts fully automatically
- While the refrigerating unit is running, beads of condensation or hoarfrost from at the back of the refrigerator compartment. This is normal. It is not necessary to wipe off the condensation or frost.
- The rear panel defrosts automatically. The condensation runs into the condensation channel and is conveyed to the refrigerating unit where it evaporates.
Note:
Keep the condensation channel and drainage hole clean, so that the condensation can run out.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
The freezer compartment does not defrost automatically, otherwise the frozen food would start thawing. A layer of frost in the freezer compartment impairs refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power consumption. Remove the layer of hoarfrost regularly.
WARNING: Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice with a knife or pointed object. Doing this may damage the refrigerant tubes.
- Remove the frozen food and place temporarily in a cool location.
- Set the temperature control knob to the o position and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
- To accelerate the defrosting process, place a pan of hot water on a stand in the freezer compartment.
- Wipe up condensation with a cloth or sponge.
- Wipe dry the freezer compartment.
- Plug in the appliance and adjust the temperature control knob as desired.
- Put the frozen food back in the freezer compartment.

The “STRUCTURE ILLUSTRATION” shows the correct combination for the drawers, crisper and shelves, do not adjust the combination as this is designed to be the most energy efficient configuration.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
- Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator or freezer, the internal temperature will increase resulting in the compressor having to work harder and will consume more energy.
- Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavor.
- Place food properly so that air can circulate freely around it.
Hints for refrigerator
- Meat (All Types) Wrap in polythene food: wrap and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Always follow food storage times and use by dates suggested by manufacturers.
- Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.: They should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
- Fruit and vegetables: They should be stored in the special drawer provided.
- Butter and cheese: Should be wrapped in airtight foil or plastic film wrap.
- Milk bottles: Should have a lid and be stored in the door racks.
Hints for freezing
- When first starting-up or after a period out of use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings before putting food in the compartment.
- Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and complete frozen and to make it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required.
- Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight.
- Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid temperature rise of the latter.
- Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, will probably cause frost burns to the skin.
- It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep track of the storage time.
Hints for the storage of frozen food
