Cleaning the filter
The filter is held
by two small
support frames
which press into
position and are
therefore easily
removed for
cleaning. To do
this, turn the
glass shelf upside
down and release
the frames as
shown in the
illustration. The filter may be washed in normal
washing-up liquids. Do not place in dishwasher.
Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,
the door shelves can be adjusted in height.
To make these adjustments proceed as follows:
Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the
arrows until it comes free, then reposition as
required.
For more thorough cleaning, the top door shelf can
be removed by pulling it in the direction of the
arrows, then refitting it in position.

Freezing fresh food
Place the food to be frozen in the lower
compartment of the freezer as this is the coldest
part.
The 4-star compartment (
) is suitable for
long term storage of commercially frozen food (i.e.
for 3 months, unless otherwise stated by the
manufacturer), and for freezing fresh food. Do not
exceed the storage times shown by the
manufacturer on the commercially frozen food
packets.
Under normal circumstances, to freeze fresh foods
it is not necessary to change the setting of the
thermostat knob with respect to the normal running
position.
However, for a quicker freezing operation, turn the
thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but
remember that, in this condition, the refrigerating
compartment temperature might drop below 0
°
C. If
this occurs reset thermostat knob to a warmer
setting.
To help you make the most of the freezing process,
here are some important hints:
The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen
in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate.
Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly
cleaned foodstuffs.
Prepare the fresh food in small portions to enable it
to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it
possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity
required at the time.
Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and
make sure that the packages are airtight.
A special card is located in the holder on the inner
door of the freezer compartment. On the upper part
it shows pictures of different types of food followed
by a figure. These figures indicate the maximum
storage time, in months, for each type of food.
Details of food being stored, can also be written in
pencil on the lower part of the card.
Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food
which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in
temperature of the latter.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc.) in
the freezing compartment as they may burst.
Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezing compartment, can possibly cause
the skin to be freeze burnt.
Remember that, once thawed, frozen food
deteriorates rapidly.
