How to use your Refrigerator-Freezer
Freezer Compartment
This freezer, is marked , and is suitable for freezing fresh foodstuffs and keeping food for long periods.
Refrigerator Compartment:
This compartment is for storing drinks and fresh food products. The temperature inside is very evenly distributed. Make sure food does not touch the back wall, since behind this surface is where the cold is generated and food could bee partially frozen. Also, this can impede the circulation of cold air. This appliance is provided with an automatic defrosting system. Consequently you will sometimes notice a thin layer of ice or drops of water on the rear wall.
Freezing of food
1... Place food on the upper grill. 2... Maintain food for at least 24 hours in that position. 3... The maximum quantity to be frozen within 24 hours is shown on the «Rating Plate», depending on the model.
Keeping frozen food
For optimum consevation, the temperature inside the freezer compartment must be at least -18°C. This temperature is adjusted automatically. Check that the «Temperature Control» is in a middle position. Sometimes it may be necessary (insufficient ventilation, high roon temperature, frequent opening and closing of the door�) to change the position of the «Temperature Control». If the appliance should be accidentally switched off by a fault or power cut, take the following precautions: � Keep the doors closed at all times. � Find out how long the stoppage is expected to last. Once normal power is restored: A) If the freezer is full and the stoppage has been less than «Time for temperature Rise» indicated for each model in the «Technical Features» section, then no damage will have been caused to the food. B) If the freezer is not full, the cold will be lost more quickly. If the food has not started to thaw, then follow the instructions in «A». C) If the food has begun to thaw, use them up as quickly as possible, or cook them and refreeze them.
