When purchasing frozen food products:
? Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in
damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the
package is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have
been stored under optimal conditions and defrosting may
have already begun.
? When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and
transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.
? Place the items in the freezer compartment as soon as
you get home.
? If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it.
Consume within 24 hours.
? Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum.
Respect the best-before date on the package.
? Always observe the storage information on the package.
Making ice cubes
? Fill the ice cube tray 2/3 full and place it in the freezer
compartment
? Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to detach the
tray if it is stuck to the bottom of the freezer
compartment.
? Bend the ice tray slightly to remove the cubes.
HOW TO DEFROST THE REFRIGERATOR
COMPARTMENT
Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is
completely automatic.
? Droplets of water on the rear wall of the refrigerator
compartment indicate that the periodic automatic defrost
cycle is in progress.
? The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet
and into a container from which it evaporates.
? Clean the defrost water drain outlet regularly using the
tool supplied with the appliance in order to ensure
defrost water is removed correctly.
? See the ?Care and Maintenance? chapter.
