Freezing food
Set the freezer to quick-freezing operational status.
Wait at least 3 hours before introducing fresh foods
into the freezer if it has only recently been turned on.
If the freezer has already been working for some time,
turn the respective knob to the «S» position at least 24
hours before introducing the food into the freezer in
order to ensure better freezing results. This period of
time may be shortened according to the quantity of
food.
When quick-freezing is being performed, the
compressor works continuously, employing all of its
refrigerating power to the maximum.
Keep the knob as it is for another 24 hours after the
introduction of the food into the freezer and then
return the knob to the «N» position.
Bear in mind the freezing capacity of your freezer;
that is, the maximum quantity of food that may be
frozen in 24 hours.
This freezing capacity is 22 kg.
Distribute the packages as shown in Figure 7.
Arrange the foods to be frozen in the upper
compartments.
When the necessary freezing time has elapsed,
distribute the newly-frozen foods into the drawers to
free the compartments for new foods to be frozen.

Rules to observe when freezing
foods
All products to be frozen must be fresh and of excellent
quality.
Each freezing package must be adjusted to the family’s
consumption quantity in order to be used just once.
Small-sized freezing packages allow a more rapid and
uniform freezing.
Do not forget that once frozen foods have thawed out,
they spoil rapidly.
Low-fat content foods are better conserved in the freezer
than those with higher fat content. Salt (whenever
present) reduces the duration of satisfactory
conservation.
Foods to be frozen must be enclosed in air-tight sacks or
containers especially indicated for this purpose.
Close these sacks or containers tightly to eliminate all
air.
Never place bottles or cans of carbonated beverages in
the freezer. These might explode.
Never introduce hot foods or liquids.
Never fill the freezing sacks or containers with covers to
the brim.
Do not consume certain products (popsicles, etc.)
immediately after removing them from the freezer,
because their extremely low temperature might cause
burns.
Indicate the freezing date on every sack or container as a
means of controlling conservation times.
Never open the freezer door or introduce new foods to
be frozen whenever a Quick-freezing phase is already in
progress.
A special card is located in the holder on the inner door
of the freezer compartment. On the upper part it shows
pictures of different types of food followed by a figure.
These figures indicate the maximum storage time, in
months, for each type of food.
Details of food being stored, can also be written in pencil
on the lower part of the card.
Important
When electrical current happens to be cut off, the
freezer door must not be opened. If the power failure
is short (up to 6-8 hours) and the freezer is full, there
is no risk that the food will spoil.
If the power failure lasts longer, the food must be
consumed as rapidly as possible, or otherwise cooked
and re-frozen again.
