Ice-Cube Production; Storage Of Frozen Food; Hints And Tips; Hints For Energy Saving - Progress PK1254 Benutzerinformation

When the freezing process is complete,
the appliance automatically returns to the
previous temperature setting (see
"FastFreeze Function").
In this condition, the
temperature inside the
refrigerator might change
slightly.
For more information refer to "Hints for
freezing".

Storage of frozen food

When activating an appliance for the first
time or after a period out of use, before
putting the products in the compartment
let the appliance run at least 3 hours with
the FastFreeze function switched on.
Keep the food no closer than 15 mm from
the door.
CAUTION! In the event of
accidental defrosting, for
example due to a power failure,
if the power has been off for
longer than the value shown on
rating plate under "rising time",
the defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked
immediately then cooled and
then re-frozen.

HINTS AND TIPS

Hints for energy saving

• Fridge: Most efficient use of energy is
ensured in the configuration with the
drawers in the bottom part of the
appliance and shelves evenly
distributed. Position of the door bins
does not affect energy consumption.
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than necessary.
• Freezer: The colder the temperature
setting, the higher the energy
consumption.
• Fridge: Do not set too high temperature
to save energy unless it is required by
the characteristics of the food.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
consumed, can be thawed in the
refrigerator or inside a plastic bag under
cold water.
This operation depends on the time
available and on the type of food. Small
pieces may even be cooked still frozen.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or
more trays for the production of ice-cubes.
Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the trays from the
freezer.
1. Fill these trays with water.
2. Put the ice trays in the freezer
compartment.
• If the ambient temperature is high and
the temperature control is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice
formation on the evaporator. In this
case, set the temperature control
toward higher temperature to allow
automatic defrosting and to save
energy this way.
• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover
the ventilation grilles or holes.
