Using the freezer
This appliance is designed to conserve frozen foods, to freeze fresh food and to make ice cubes.
Do not freeze a large quantity of food at any one time (maximum of 4kg/24h),as the faster an item
is frozen, the more it will keep its qualities.Similarly,make sure that you wrap your foodstuffs before
freezing, so that they retain their full flavour and do not spoil on the packaging.
Never place hot food in your freezer. Never place bottles or drinks cans in it either, as they can
burst when their contents freeze.
Highly carbonated drinks can even explode! Never keep lemonade, fruit juice, beer, wine,champ-
agne, etc…in the freezer compartment.
De-icing
The freezer de-icing system is manual.You can from time to time remove the layer of ice that forms,
using a scraper or other plastic instrument.
Never use a metal instrument of electrical device to de-ice the freezer.
The freezer must always be de-iced when the layer of frost reaches a thickness of about 4mm. In
any case, this compartment should be de-iced at least once a year.
1.Switch off and disconnect the freezer.
2.Remove the ice with a plastic scraper. De-icing can be made quicker by placing bowls of hot
water in the freezer and closing the door.
3.Once de-icing is completed, then you can clean your appliance.

food.
