9. DEFROSTING
10. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
These times vary depending on the type of food. The food that you freeze can be preserved from 1 to 12 months
(minimum at - 18°C).
Never forget:
When you freeze fresh foods with a 'use by /best before/best by/' date, you must freeze them before this date expires.
Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not be re-frozen.
Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly.

Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods in order
to conserve energy.
Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of
heat(Direct sunlight, electric oven or cooker etc)
Don't set the temperature colder than necessary.
Don't store warm food or evaporating liquid in the appliance.
Place the appliance in a well ventilated, humidity free room.
Please refer to Installing your new appliance chapter.
If the diagram shows the correct combination for the
drawers, crisper and shelves, do not adjust the
combination as this is designed to be the most energy
efficient configuration.

While the refrigerating unit is running, beads of
condensation or hoarfrost from at the back of the
refrigerator compartment. This is normal. It is not
necessary to wipe off the condensation or frost.
The rear panel defrosts automatically.
The condensation runs into the condensation channel
and is conveyed to the refrigerating unit where it evaporates.
Note:
Keep the condensation channel and drainage hole
clean, so that the condensation can run out.
Refrigerator compartment defrosts fully
automatically
Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator or freezer,
the internal temperature will increase resulting in the compressor
having to work harder and will consume more energy.
Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavor.
Place food properly so that air can circulate freely around it.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
Meat (All Types) Wrap in polythene food: wrap
and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable
drawer. Always follow food storage times and use
by dates suggested by manufacturers.
Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.: They should be
covered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: They should be stored in
the special drawer provided.
Butter and cheese: Should be wrapped in airtight
foil or plastic film wrap.
Milk bottles: Should have a lid and be stored in
the door racks.
Hints for refrigerator
The freezer compartment does not defrost automatically,
otherwise the frozen food would start thawing.
A layer of frost in the freezer compartment impairs
refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power
consumption. Remove the layer of hoarfrost regularly.
WARNING: Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice with a
knife or pointed object. Doing this may damage the
refrigerant tubes.
1. Remove the frozen food and place temporarily in a
cool location.
2. Set the temperature control knob to the o position
and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
3. To accelerate the defrosting process, place a pan of
hot water on a stand in the freezer compartment.
4. Wipe up condensation with a cloth or sponge.
5. Wipe dry the freezer compartment.
6. Plug in the appliance and adjust the temperature
control knob as desired.
7. Put the frozen food back in the freezer compartment.
