Then continue as follows:
a) Berries, fruits with peel, herbs etc. should be laid out loose for
freezing in the freezer drawer and
then put into freezer bags after about 12 hours. Store the filled
freezer bags in one of the available drawers. Fresh food should
be placed in the top drawer and moved down to one of the lower
drawers after approx 24 hours. Avoid putting fresh foods directly
in contact with deep frozen food. The deep frozen food could
defrost and may not last out the normal storage time.

adequate quantities of fresh food for the freezing capacity of
your freezer. Consult the information on the rating plate)

Refilling the freezer compartment with fresh foods
Make sure that you wait at least 24 hours before refilling with
fresh food, in adequate quantities for the freezing capacity of
your freezer.
Maximum capacity
In order to ensure correct storage of frozen food, never fill the
drawers up to the top.
Set the temperature dial strictly according to the filling capacity.
To save energy in normal room temperatures we recommend
setting the temperature dial to a medium setting.
Storage time
The storage time for ready deep-frozen products depends on the
type of the products and on its ingredients. For this reason, you
should strictly follow the producer's instructions on the
packaging.
When you want to freeze fresh foods yourself, consult the
FOOD STORAGE GUIDE AT THE BACK OF THIS MANUAL.
Once frozen foods have been defrosted, they should be used up
within between 12-24 hours.
Do not eat any food beyond its storage time, this
could lead to food poisoning.
Precautions and advice
Whenever cleaning or defrosting remove the power plug

or switch off the main fuse.
After closing the freezer door, do not open it immediately

and do not force it open under any circumstances. The
vacuum created by the sealing of the door is dispersed
after about 1-2 minutes, so that the door can be opened
normally again.

To prevent condensation and ice forming, allow cooked
food to cool down to room temperature before closing the
lid of the dish and before storage.
Leave the freezer door open as briefly as possible to avoid

wasting energy and to prevent and excessive amount of ice
forming in the freezer.

Never use a screwdriver or any other sharp edged metal
tool to remove the layers of ice. The inside walls are very
delicate and can be easily damaged by sharp edges. Use
only plastic or wooden scrapers with no sharp edges

9. Cleaning and maintenance

As a firm rule, unplug the power plug or switch off at the
mains.
For the upkeep of the external appearance of your fridge /
freezer, clean the outside every now and again with furniture
polish or with an enamel protecting product. Clean the door seal
with warm water now and again but do not use any cleaning
products.
Clean your appliance regularly.
The various parts inside the fridge / freezer are generally

not suitable for dishwasher. These should be washed by
hand with warm water and a little washing up liquid. Never
use the cleaning agent neat and on no account use any
abrasive or acid, i.e. chemical cleaning agent is
recommended.
The rating plate should not be damaged and should never

be removed , this is essential for servicing. Make sure
when cleaning, that no water runs onto any electrical parts
inside the appliance.
If there is a heat exchanger, called condenser, on the back

of your appliance, this should be cleaned regularly. Dust
and dirt impede the release of heat from the inside and
considerably increase energy consumption. For best
results, use a soft brush or a duster to remove dust from
the condenser.
Special tips for cleaning the fridge
Clean the drain hole in the fridge from time to time with for
example, cotton buds, in order to keep it clear.
