on the fast-freeze setting for at least 24 hours before

the food is put in the freezer. Once the food has been

placed in the freezer, the freezing operation can be

considered to be complete 24 hours later.

Once freezing is complete, the freezer must be reset

for normal storage use.

Food to be frozen must be placed in the top

compartment.

The maximum amount of food which is freezable

in 24 hours is 16 kg.

To help you get the best out of the freezing process,

here are a few hints:

Freeze only good-quality, fresh and well-cleaned

foods.

Split them into small portions to speed up freezing

and to avoid having to thaw more food than you

require.

It is in fact important to remember that once food has

thawed out, it deteriorates fast.

Another point to remember is that lean foods keep

better and longer than fatty foods. Salt too reduces

storage time.

Wrap food in foil or polythene ﬁlm, ensuring that the

wrapping adheres closely to the food and is well

sealed.

In this way, by avoiding contact with air, the colour

ﬂavour and nutritional value of the food remains

intact.

Never freeze a higher quantity of food than the

maximum amount shown on the rating plate of the

appliance.

During the freezing process, do not add further food

for freezing and do not open the freezer door.

Food for freezing should not be placed in contact with

already frozen food. This will avoid the temperature

of already frozen food from rising.

Never put ﬁzzy drinks in the freezer as they might

well burst.

In addition, never put hot foods or liquids in the

freezer compartment and take care not to ﬁll

recipients up to the brim if they are covered with a lid.

It is a good idea to mark the packs – or the cards on

the sliding drawers if your model has them – with the

date on which foods were frozen so that you can keep

a check on storage periods.

If accidental thawing occurs – due to a power cut for

example – food must be used up very quickly or else

cooked immediately and refrozen. If, however, the

power failure is relatively brief (from 6 to 8 hours)

and the freezer compartment is packed full, frozen

food will not suffer any damage.

The inner door of the freezer compartment 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 a card located in a special holder in the

inner door.

Storage of frozen food

When ﬁrst starting-up or after a period out of use, let

the appliance run for at least three hours on the fast

freeze setting before putting the products in the

compartment.

To obtain the best performance from this appliance,

you should:

if large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all

drawers and baskets from appliance and place food on

cooling shelves. Pay careful attention not to exceed

load limit

stated on the side of the upper

section (where applicable).

make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs

were adequately stored by the retailer;

be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the

foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible time;

not open the door frequently or leave it open longer

than absolutely necessary.

Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot

be refrozen.

Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the

food manufacturer.

Important

If there is a power failure when food is in the

freezer, do not open the door of the freezer

compartment. The frozen food will not be affected

if the power cut is of short duration (up to 6-8

hours) and the freezer compartment is full,

otherwise, it is recommended that the food should

be used within a short time (a temperature

increase of the frozen food shortens its safe storage

period).
