Freezer compartment
Do not refreeze defrosted food. It can only be refrozen
after it has been made into a ready-to-eat meal (cooked
or roasted).
Do not then leave the food in the freezer for the
maximum storage period.
Without any risk to the frozen food, the alarm may be
triggered:
when the appliance is first used.
when putting large quantities of fresh food in the
freezer.
if the freezer compartment door is left open for too
long.
Switching off the alarm
Press the "alarm off" button.
Note
As soon as the set temperature is reached again, the
display stops showing "alarm".
Energy-saving mode
20 seconds after the doors are closed or the last
button is pressed, the display panel switches to energy-
saving mode. The display panel switches off and leaves
only the words "freezer" and "fridge" dimly illuminated.
As soon as a door is opened or a button pressed, the
display panel switches on and returns to the normal
brightness.
Usable capacity
You will find the details of the usable capacity on the
rating plate inside the appliance.
Using the entire freezing capacity
To accommodate the maximum quantity of frozen food,
you can remove all of the fittings from inside the
appliance. You can then stack the food directly on the
shelves and the bottom of the freezer compartment.
How to remove and refit the fittings is described in the
section headed Fittings.
Fridge compartment
The fridge compartment is the perfect place for keeping
ready meals, bread and pastries, jams and preserves,
condensed milk and hard cheeses.
When placing food in the fridge, follow
these guidelines:
Keep fresh, untouched food in the fridge. In that way
it will keep longer and stay fresher.
In the case of ready-made products and packaged
foods and liquids, pay attention to the manufacturer's
specified best-before or use-by date.
In order to maintain flavour, colour and freshness,
keep food well packed or covered over. That also
prevents flavours from mixing and the plastic parts
from becoming discoloured in the fridge
compartment.
Allow warm food and beverages to cool before
putting them into the appliance.
Note
Keep food from coming into contact with the rear panel.
Otherwise, the air circulation will be impaired.
Food or packaging could also become frozen to the
rear panel.
Pay attention to the temperature zones in
the fridge compartment
The air circulation produces different temperature
zones in the fridge compartment:
The coldest zones are close to the rear panel.
The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
Note
Keep items such as hard cheese and butter in the
warmest zone. That will allow the cheese to continue
developing its flavour and the butter will remain
spreadable.
Freezer compartment
Use the freezer compartment for the
following:
Storing deep frozen food.
To make ice cubes.
To freeze food.
Note
Make sure that the freezer compartment door is always
closed. When the door is open, the frozen foods defrost
and the freezer compartment ices up heavily. In
addition: Energy is wasted due to the power
consumption.
Note
The 2-star door pocket can be used to store ice and
food at -12 °C for short periods.
The rest of the freezer compartment is 4-star rated.
