For every modification of your thermostat, you are supposed
to wait for the stabilization of the temperature inside the unit
before proceeding, if necessary, to a new setting� Do change the
position of the thermostat gradually and wait at least 12 hours
before re-checking�
NOTE:
after charging the device for fresh food or after repeated
or prolonged door openings, it is normal that the inscription “OK”
does not appear in the temperature indicator� Wait at least
12 hours before readjusting the thermostat�
Shopping for frozen food
The appliance is rated as a 4 star freezer and can freeze fresh food
and store pre-frozen food� When you are buying frozen food, look
at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging� You will be able to
store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the
4 star rating�
Freezing fresh food
Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most
hygienic conditions as freezing alone does not improve the food�
Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into the freezer�
Prior to freezing the food, food should always be covered tightly
with foil, plastic film, placed in plastic bags or stored in airtight
containers� This will prevent food from dehydrating and to pre-
vent any strong odors of some foods transferring to milder ones�
To freeze raw meat, wrap in plastic bags or in airtight containers
and place on the lowest shelf to avoid cross contamination�
Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked foods�
Fruit and vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in
the crisper�
Milk and other liquids should be sealed with lids and placed in
the bottle shelf in the door�
NOTE:
The ambient temperature of the freshly stored food and
how often the door is opened affect the temperature in the
refrigerator� If required, change the thermostat temperature set-
tings�
Storing frozen food
All frozen food you purchase should be placed in the freezer
as soon as possible to avoid them from defrosting and spoiling�
All storage recommendations printed on the packaging of frozen
food by the manufacturer should always be followed�
When using the freezer for the first time or after defrosting,
set the thermostat knob to the maximum position for at least
2 hours before introducing food to be stored, and then readjust it
to the normal position�
Energy-saving tips
Install the fridge or freezer in a cool place out of direct sunlight
and away from cookers, heaters, dishwashers or any hot air emit-
ting items�
Do not set the fridge and freezer temperatures lower than neces-
sary� Set the internal temperature within the correct range e�g�
adjust the thermostat at middle position for 4°C in the fridge
compartment and -18°C in the freezer respectively�
