Important!
In the event of accidental defrosting, for
example due to a power failure, if the power has been
off for longer than the value shown in the technical
characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately
and then re-frozen (after cooling).
Frozen Food Calendar
The symbols show different types of frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for the
appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper
or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid de-
pends on the quality of the foods and treating before
freezing.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be
thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room tem-
perature, depending on the time available for this oper-
ation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly
from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for
the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with water,
then put them in the freezer compartment.
Important!
Do not use metallic instruments to remove
the trays from the freezer.
Movable shelves
The walls of the refrigera-
tor are equipped with a
series of runners so that
the shelves can be posi-
tioned as desired.
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food
packages of various
sizes, the door shelves
can be placed at different
heights.
To make these adjust-
ments proceed as fol-
lows:
gradually pull the shelf in
the direction of the ar-
rows until it comes free,
then reposition as re-
quired.
Helpful hints and tips
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open lon-
ger than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the Tempera-
ture Regulator is set to low temperature and the ap-
pliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run con-
tinuously, causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If
this happens, set the Temperature Regulator toward
warmer settings to allow automatic defrosting and so
a saving in electricity consumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the
refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a
strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate freely around it
