How to use your
Refrigerator-Freezer
Freezer Compartment
This freezer, is marked
, and is suitable for freezing fresh foodstuffs and keeping
food for long periods.
Freezing of food
Freezing should take place as quickly as possible,
in a maximum of 24 hours. The procedure for this
is as follows:
1... Set the witch «R» to position «S»:
• If the freezer was switched off and empty, 3
hours prior to placing the food to be frozen.
• If the freezer is already operating and contains frozen food, 24 hours before placing the
food to be frozen.
2... The maximum amount which can be frozen in
24 hours is indicated in the section
«Technical Features».
3... Place the food to be frozen inside the lower
compartment of the freezer.
You can also use the top shelf.
4... Red light «M», may be on for a few hours
during freezing process. Switch-on time for
this light will vary according to amount of food
being put in for congelation and time while
door remains open.
5... Once 24 hours from the introduction of the
food have elapsed the congelation can be
considered as finished.
Set the switch «R» to position «N».
Keeping frozen food
For optimum consevation, the temperature inside
the freezer compartment must be at least -18°C.
This temperature is adjusted automatically.
Check that the «Temperature Control» is in a
middle position. Sometimes it may be necessary
(insufficient ventilation, high roon temperature,
frequent opening and closing of the door…) to
20
change the position of the «Temperature
Control».
If the appliance should be accidentally switched off by a fault or power cut, take the following precautions:
• Keep the doors closed at all times.
• Find out how long the stoppage is expected
to last.
Once normal power is restored:
A) If the freezer is full and the stoppage has
been less than «Time for temperature
Rise» indicated for each model in the
«Technical Features» section, then no
damage will have been caused to the food.
B) If the freezer is not full, the cold will be lost
more quickly. If the food has not started to
thaw, then follow the instructions in «A».
C) If the food has begun to thaw, use them up
as quickly as possible, or cook them and
refreeze them.
Refrigerator Compartment:
This compartment is for storing drinks and
fresh food products.
The temperature inside is very evenly distributed. Make sure food does not touch
the back wall, since behind this surface is
where the cold is generated and food could
bee partially frozen. Also, this can impede the
circulation of cold air.
This appliance is provided with an automatic
defrosting system. Consequently you will
sometimes notice a thin layer of ice or drops of
water on the rear wall.
How to use your

Useful Hints
Do not introduce any new food during a freezing period.
Do not put any newly introduced food for freezing near to already frozen food.
Wrap the food up properly or place it in hermethic recipies before introducing it into the

Food and drinks of a strong flavour may pass
this on to others and affect their flavour. Wrap
them up adequately or put them into tight closing bags.
Follow the instructions given in the cook books,
freezing books and wrapping utensiles for better conservation of food.
In some models, on the freezer inner door
there is usually an schematic showing the conservation time (in months) for the different
types of food. It will also depend on the food
quality in the moment of freezing and on the
specific instructions on packages.
