Proper use of the appliance
Freezing fresh | To package foods for freezing, consult a specialized |
foods | manual. Before placing fresh foods in the compartment for |
| freezing, to prevent the temperature of already frozen |
| foodstuffs from rising irregularly in contact with the |
| unfrozen food, these frozen foodstuffs should be removed |
| from the freezing space and placed below the divider. |
| Never freeze more foodstuffs than the amount |
| indicated on the rating plate at one time. Once the |
| space is loaded, regardless of the ambient temperature, |
| move the thermostat knob back about a quarter setting |
| compared to the setting used for freezing. |
| The fresh foods will be completely frozen 24 hours after |
| their placement in the freezing space. If you changed the |
| thermostat setting for the freezing operation, return the |
| thermostat to its original setting. |

Special advice | a) The temperature of the ice made in the freezer is |
and instructions | exteremely low; when removing ice, handle with care |
on using the | as contact with your skin could cause frost burns and |
freezer | cuts. |
| b) Avoid placing full glass bottles in the freezer, especially |
| if they are sealed and contain fizzy or carbonated |
| drinks (mineral water, orange ade, coca cola) because |
| as the liquid freezes, it expands and could cause the |
| glass to explode. |

Defrosting | Remember to remove the frost from the walls of the top |
| compartment periodically; do not use sharp metal tools |
| which can seriously damage the cooling circuit. |
| Defrosting is necessary to assure the best performance |
| from your refrigerator and avoid wasting electricity. |
| To defrost the top compartment, which should be done |
| once or twice a year, unplug the appliance from the mains |
| and leave the door open until all the frost has thawed. |
