How to use your
Fridge-Freezer
Once re-established:
A) If the freezer is fully loaded and the power fai-
lure is less than the time indicated on the
«Rating Plate» no damage has been done to the
food.
B) If the freezer is not fully loaded the temperature
will rise more quickly. If thawing has not started
proceed as in point A.
C) If the temperature has risen sufficiently the tem-
perature alarm will sound and the temperature
indicator will blink.
You should:
• Check that the doors are shut. If they are not,
you will hear also the door alarm.
• Check that you haven’t overloaded the frid-
ge/freezer with a large amount of new food.
• Check that there hasn’t been a long power cut.
• Check that the fridge/freezer appears to be
working properly and isn’t broken. You
should switch the alarm off by pushing the
appropriate button.
If it continues to come back on it is likely that
there is a problem with the product. Advice
then to the Technical Oficial Service.
If thawing has started, consume the food immedia-
tely, or cook it and then freeze it again.
Freezing compartment
This freezer, marked , is suitable for free-
zing food and permits long term storage of frozen
food.
Freezing of food
Food to be frozen should be left for at least 24 hours.
The procedure for this is as follows:
1... If the freezer has been disconnected and is empty,
plug it an and leave for 3 hours before putting any
food in. By pressing the fast freezer button 24
hours before freezing you will help cool down the
freezer quicker.
If the temperature alarm goes on see the earlier sec-
tion on the temperature alarm.
2... It is possible that the temperature alarm will sound
if a lot of new food is put in with existing food.
This is due to a slight rise in temperature. The
alarm will switch itself off automatically.
Conserving frozen food
To store Food properly the inside temperature should
never rise above - 18°C.
An ajustable temperature control regulates this tempe-
rature.
Make sure the thermostat is on a medium setting.
However, it may sometimes be necessary (due to poor
ventilation, high room temperatures, frequent opening
of doors…) to regulate the setting of the thermostat.
In the case of an accidental stoppage of the appliance
or a power cut proceed as follows:
• Keep the doors closed at all times.
• Try to find out how long the loss of power will last
for.
