Helpful hints and tips

Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than
absolutely necessary.
• Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
• Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance
base and at the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air
vent openings.
• Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm
foods to cool first.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are
some hints:
• The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24
hours is shown on the rating plate.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be
frozen should be added during this period.
• Freeze only top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned
foodstuffs.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and
completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to
thaw only the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make
sure that the packages are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is
already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the
latter.
• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt
reduces the storage life of food.
• Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from
the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be
freeze burnt.
Temperature setting should take into consideration these factors.
Reduce to a minimum door opening.
When thawing frozen food, place them in the refrigerator.
The low temperature of the frozen products cools the food in the
refrigerator. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before
placing in the appliance.
Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has no impact on the
efficient usage of energy. Food should be placed on the shelves in
such way to ensure proper air circulation (food should not touch
each other and distance between food and rear wall should be
kept).
You can increase storage capacity of frozen food by removing
baskets and, if present, Stop Frost shelve, maintaining an
equivalent energy consumption.
Do not worry of the noise coming from the compressor.

• This appliance has been designed for preserving food and
is manufactured in compliance with Regulation (CE) No.
1935/2004.
• This appliance has been designed, manufactured and marketed

(which replaces 2006/95/CE and subsequent amendments);
- the protection requirements of Directive "EMC" 2014/30/EU.

Hints for s torage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:
• Make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were
adequately stored by the retailer.
• Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the
foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible time.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than
absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be
refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food
manufacturer.
Defrosting the freezer
The freezer compartment is frost free. This means that there is
no build up of frost when it is in operation, neither on the
internal walls nor on the food. The absence of frost is due to
the continuous circulation of cold air inside the compartment,
driven by an automatically controlled fan.
If the appliance is not going to be used
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply, remove all the
food and clean. Leave the doors open enough for air to circulate
inside the compartments. This will prevent the formation of
mould and bad odours.
In case of power failures
Keep the doors of the appliance closed. In this way the stored
food will stay cold as long as possible. Do not refreeze partially
thawed food, consume it within 24 hours.
