Freezing

Consult a specialized manual when packaging foods

for freezing.

- Remember that you should never re-freeze products

you have allowed to thaw, even if only partially: cook the

food, then either eat (within 24 hours) or re-freeze it.

- When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should

not touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods.

Place the food that you wish to freeze in the top com-

partment where the temperature will fall below -18°C,

which is ideal for freezing food properly. Remember that

proper conservation depends on the speed of freezing.

- Do not open the freezer door during freezing.

- Freeze only the quantities (in kg) shown on the data

plate on the left of the crisper.

- When using the refrigerator for the first time, or after it

has not been turned off, you can place food into the

freezer only after is has been run for 6-8 hours, When

the freezer is ready, insert the fresh food which is to be

frozen into the appropriate compartment and turn knob

A to setting 3. After approximately 24 hours, the freez-

ing process will be complete.

Energy Saving Tips

- Install the appliance correctly

This means that the appliance should be installed away

from heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated

room.

- Correct temperature settings

Set the refrigerator or freezer temperature knob to one

of the medium settings. Very low temperatures will not

only consume a great deal of energy but will neither im-

prove or lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively

low temperature may in fact spoil vegetables, cold meats

and cheese.

- Do not overfill your appliance

Remember that proper storage of food requires good air

circulation. Overfilling your appliance will prevent this cir-

culation and overwork the compressor.

- Shut the doors

Open your appliance only when strictly necessary; remem-

ber that every time you open the door most of the cold

air will be lost. The motor will have to run, and consume

energy, to restore the correct temperature.

- For the best conservation and defrosting, remember to freeze

small portions; this will ensure rapid and uniform freezing.

Mark package with a description of the contents and the

date it was frozen.

- In the case of power failure or breakdown, do not open

the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature

inside the freezer ensuring that foods are conserved for

at least 9-14 hours.

- Do not store full bottles in the freezer since they could

explode when they freeze. (Remember that liquids in-

crease in volume when frozen).

- Fill the ice trays so that they are no more than 3/4 full.

- If the room temperature remains below 14°C for an

extended period of time the freezer will not reach the

temperatures required for storage, and storage life will

be shorter. In this case, frozen foodstuffs should be used

within a relatively short period of time.

- It is not necessary to defrost the freezer compartment

because the forced cold-air cooling system does not cause

frost or ice to form on the walls of the compartment. In

addition, the froozen food does not become couvered in ice

does not stick together, does not charge in appearance and

can be easily recognized.

- Check the door seals

keep the gaskets clean and soft so that they fit closely against

the door to ensure that no cold air is lost.

- Never store hot foods

A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the

temperature significantly; allow food to cool to room tem-

perature before storing.
