The freezer compartment stores frozen food (for the period indicated on the package)

and freezes fresh food. The amount of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the

rating plate; place the food in the freezer compartment (see Quick Start Guide), leaving leaving

enough space around the packages to allow air to circulate. Refreezing partially thawed food is not

recommended. It is important to wrap food so that no water, moisture, or vapour may penetrate.

To save energy and prolong the life of the appliance, make sure hot foods are never placed inside it.

Note: the ambient temperature, door opening frequency and position of the appliance can affect

the temperatures inside the two compartments. Set the temperature based on these factors.

Making ice cubes

Fill the ice cube tray (where provided) 2/3 full and place it in the freezer compartment. Never use

sharp or pointed objects to remove the ice.

Removing drawers (depending on model)

Pull the drawers all the way out, lift them up a little and remove. To create more space, the freezer

compartment can also be used as follows:

A) If the freezer compartment base resembles figure A, remove

the upper drawers and/or lids. The lower drawer should be left in

position. Make sure that, once the food has been placed on the

racks/shelves, the door closes properly.

B) If the freezer compartment base resembles figure B, remove all

drawers or lids. Make sure that, once the food has been placed on

the racks/shelves, the door closes properly.

Removing the lid (if present)

Open the lid and remove the pin, as illustrated in figure C.

No Frost models do not need defrosting.

For other models, if frost forms in the freezer compartment, we

recommend it is defrosted twice a year or whenever an excessive

amount of frost has formed (3 mm thickness).

It is perfectly normal for frost to form.

The amount of frost which forms and the rate at which it builds up

depends on room temperature and humidity, and on how often the

door is opened. To defrost, unplug the appliance and remove all

foodstuffs. Leave the door ajar to allow the frost to melt. For products

with a freezer compartment below the refrigerator compartment, the

defrost water drain pipe can be removed (see figure) and a recipient

placed underneath.

After defrosting, replace the drain pipe, making sure that no water is left in it. Clean inside the

freezer compartment and dry carefully.

Switch the appliance back on and place the food back inside.
