These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24 hours). • Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment. • Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could break. • The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located within the freezer (for example: Kg/ 24h: 4). • To freeze food, turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the Super position (YELLOW indicator light illuminated). Place the food you wish to freeze in the top compartment, making sure it does not come into contact with any items which are already frozen. After 24 hours, once the freezing process is complete, turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to a medium position (YELLOW indicator light illuminated). ! Remember to carry out this last step in order. • Placing large amounts of fresh food in the freezer may temporarily increase the temperature inside the appliance (this is indicated when the RED indicator light illuminates). This situation, as it is only temporary, does not adversely affect the storage conditions of food that is already frozen. • To freeze a lower amount of food than that indicated on the data plate, position the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to SUPER (yellow indicator light on) and introduce the foodstuffs into the upper compartment. After 24 hours, once the freezing process is complete, reposition the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to a medium position (yellow indicator light off). To freeze the same amount of food as that indicated on the data plate, position the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to SUPER (yellow indicator light on) 24 hours prior to introducing the foodstuffs to be frozen; introduce the foodstuffs then wait a further 24 hours before re-positioning the knob to the normal operation position. • In order to obtain a greater amount of space in the freezer compartment, you may remove the bins (except the lowest bin and the special COOL CARE ZONE bin, which has an adjustable temperature) and place the food directly onto the evaporator plates. ! Do not open the door during freezing. ! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours. ! RED Indicator Light. When this red light comes on for a prolonged period of time, it means that the freezer is not functioning properly and the temperature is rising too much. (Call your Service Centre) This warning light might come on for a brief period when: a) the door is left open for an extended period of time (when the freezer is being loaded or unloaded). b) when the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob is set to the Super position (YELLOW indicator light illuminated). In these two cases, the fact that the warning light comes on does not indicate that the freezer is malfunctioning or there is a defect. 12 Maintenance and care Switching the appliance off During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply: 1. Switch the appliance off (press the ON/OFF switch so that it is in the o position and the GREEN indicator light is off); 2. pull the plug out of the socket. Cleaning the appliance • The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do not use solvents, abrasive products, bleach or ammonia. • The removable accessories may be soaked in warm water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them carefully. Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours • The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or sealed properly. Defrosting the appliance ! Follow the instructions below. Do not use objects with sharp or pointed edges to defrost the appliance as these may damage the refrigeration circuit beyond repair. If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost manually: 1. The previous day, turn the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the Super position (YELLOW indicator light illuminated) in order to cool the food down even more. 2. Switching the appliance off. 3. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in another freezer or in a cool place. 4. Leave the door open until the frost has melted completely. This can be made easier by placing containers with lukewarm water in the freezer compartment.. 5. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully before switching the appliance on again. 6. Wait for approximately 2 hours, i.e. until the ideal storage conditions have been restored, before placing food in the freezer compartment. •...
