Freezer Compartment
Freezing fresh food
- It is advisable to set the temperature colder or turn on the Fast Freeze/Fast Cool* at least four hours before removing food from the freezer compartment to prolong preservation during defrosting.
- To defrost, unplug the appliance and remove drawers. Leave the door open for frost to melt. To prevent water escaping, place an absorbent cloth at the bottom of the freezer compartment and wring it out regularly.
- Clean the inside of the freezer compartment and dry it carefully.
- Turn the appliance back on and put food back inside. To remove frost from the STOP FROST* accessory, follow the CLEANING instructions.
Ice cubes*
Fill 2/3 of the ice tray with water and place it back in the freezer compartment. Do not use sharp or pointed objects to remove ice.
The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in a specific time period is indicated on the rating plate. Load limits are determined by baskets, flaps, drawers, shelves, etc. Ensure these components can close easily after loading.
General Information
Drawers, baskets, and shelves should remain in their original positions unless otherwise specified. The refrigerator compartment light uses LED technology for better illumination and very low energy consumption.
Doors and lids of the refrigeration appliance should be removed before disposal in landfill to avoid trapping children or animals.
