Food hygiene
1. Once you have bought your food, remove all external
packaging made of paper/cardboard or other wrappers,
which could introduce bacteria or dirt inside your
refrigerator.
2. Protect the food, (especially easily perishable items and
those that have a strong smell), in order to avoid contact
between them, thereby removing both the possibility of
germ/bacteria contamination as well as the diffusion of
strong odours inside the fridge.
3. Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can circulate
freely between different items.
4. Keep the inside of your fridge clean, taking care not to use
oxidiser or abrasive products.
5. Remove all food past its expiry date from the refrigerator.
6. For the correct preservation of food, all easily perishable
items (soft cheeses, raw fish, meat, etc.) should be stored
in the coldest zone of the fridge compartment, i.e. just
above the salad crisper where the temperature indicator is
situated.
Using the freezer to its full potential
Use the FREEZER OPERATION knob to adjust the
temperature (
see Description
).
Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already
been defrosted. 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 where the temperature drops below -18°C
and guarantees rapid freezing.
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 on the bottom left side of the refrigerator
compartment (for example: Kg/24h: 4).
To freeze (if the freezer is already operating):
- for small quantities which are less than those indicated on
the data plate, press the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE
button (corresponding yellow indicator light illuminates),
insert the food and close the door. The function is disabled
automatically after 24 hours or when optimal temperatures
have been reached (indicator light goes out);
- for large quantities which are greater than the maximum load
indicated on the data plate, hold down the rapid freezing
SUPER FREEZE button until the corresponding indicator light
begins to flash. After 24 hours the indicator light stops flashing
and remains on constantly. Place the food inside the freezer
and close the door. After another 24 hours, the function will
be disabled automatically (indicator light goes out).
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.
Ice
3
ice tray
The fact that they are situated on the top part of the freezer
drawers ensures greater cleanliness: the ice no longer
comes into contact with the food placed inside the freezer
compartment; furthermore, the dripping of the water during
filling is avoided (a lid to cover up the hole after filling with
water is also provided).
1. Pull out the tray by pushing it up. Check that the tray is
ompletely empty and fill it with water through the
opening provided.
2. Take care not to exceed the level indicated (MAX
WATER LEVEL). Excess water prevents the ice cubes
from dispensing (if this happens, wait for the ice to melt
and empty the tray).
3. Turn the tray 90°: due to the connected compartments
each mould fills with water (
see diagram
).
4. Close the opening with the lid provided and put the tray
back.
5. When the ice has formed (minimum time approximately
8 hours) knock the tray against a hard surface and wet
the outside so that the ice cubes come loose and take
them out through the opening.
