The freezer compartment
Freezing fresh food
When starting up the appliance for the first time or
after a period of non use, position the thermostat to a
medium setting (3 or 4) and leave for at least 4 hours
before placing the food to be frozen inside.
If you wish to fast-freeze a quantity of fresh food,
press the ambient switch (light on) located near the
thermostat knob. Leave it on this position for 24
hours before placing in the food and set it back to
normal position after further 24 hours.
If the switch is already depressed no further adjust-
ment is required.
The products for freezing should be placed in the
upper drawer and then transferred to the lower draw-
ers so that the compartment is left free for the next
freezing operation.
The maximum freezing capacity is 3 kg /24 hours.
Never exceed the quantity indicated in one freezing
batch.
Frozen food storage
Storing ready-frozen foods is quite straightforward.
The packs can be placed beside each other or on top
of each other.
In the first compartment, produce must only be
stocked up to the mark on the drawer to ensure air
circulation is not obstructed.
You are strongly advised to place ready-frozen food
in the compartment as quickly as possible after pur-
chase. Also ensure that the external packaging is
intact.
Packaging which is swollen or has traces of refrozen
water droplets on the pack could indicate that the
product has not been kept at a suitable temperature
and that it may have lost its original quality. Partially
thawed food must not be refrozen, it must be con-
sumed within 24 hours. Never exceed the storage
times indicated.
Do not open the freezer door too often and do not
leave open longer than necessary.
Important
Do not consume ice-lollies which have just
come out of the freezer. Their extremely low
temperature can cause frost burns.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your
hands are damp/wet, as this could cause
skin abrasions or "frost/freezer burns".
Caution
In the event of a power cut do not open the
door the food in the freezer will not be affect-
ed if the power cut is short and if the freezer
is full. Should the food begin to thaw, it must
be consumed quickly and must not be
re-frozen.
