FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Freezing fresh food
1.
It is advisable to set the temperature colder or turn on the Fast Freeze/
Fast Cool* at least four hours before removing the food from the
freezer compartment, to prolong the preservation of the food during
the defrosting phase.
2.
To defrost, unplug the appliance and remove the drawers. Leave
the door open to allow the frost to melt. To prevent the water from
escaping during the defrost, it is advised that you place an absorbent
cloth on the bottom of the freezer compartment and wring it out
regularly.
3.
Clean the inside of the freezer compartment and dry it carefully.
4.
Turn the appliance back on and put the food back inside.
Ice cubes*
Fill 2/3 of the ice tray with water and put it back in the freezer
compartment. Do not, under any circumstances, use sharp or pointed
objects to remove the ice.
The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in a specific time period is
indicated on the rating plate.
Load limits are determined by baskets, flaps, drawers, shelves etc. Make
sure that these components can still close easily after loading.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The drawers, baskets and shelves should be kept in their current position
unless otherwise specified in this quick guide. The light system inside the
refrigerator compartment uses LED lights, allowing for better lighting than
with traditional light bulbs, as well as for very low energy consumption.
Doors and lids of the refrigeration appliance should be removed before
disposal in the landfill, to avoid children or animals getting trapped inside.
