Freezing fresh food

In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 9 kg of
fresh food.
When you first start the freezer or after a period of
non-use, press the fast-freeze button (2) 2-3 hours
before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light
(3) lights up).
If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze
button should be activated about 24 hours before
freezing fresh food. This time can be shortened
depending on the quantity of food to be frozen. After
the time has elapsed place the food to be frozen in
the bottom drawer of the freezer as this is the cold-
est part.
The maximum amount of food which is freezable in
24 hours is indicated on the rating plate. This is to be
found on the bottom left-hand side.
You should never freeze all at once a greater
quantity of foods than the maximum indicated on
the appliance's rating plate.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take
up to 24 hours) press the fast freeze button again to
return to the «OFF» position; the yellow light (3)
goes off.
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other com-
partments, so that the bottom drawer can be used
for a further freezing operation.
Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned
foodstuffs.
During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer
door remains closed.
Because freezing is faster with frost free technology,
once food is defrosted, it retains all of its original tex-
ture, vitamins and taste.

Frozen food storage

When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run
your appliance for at least two hours in the «fast
freeze» mode before storing frozen food.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
we suggest that all of the internal baskets are uti-
lized.
Moreover, we strongly recommend that you make
sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were
adequately stored by the retailer and, furthermore,
be sure that these frozen foodstuffs are transferred
from the foodstore to your freezer in the shortest
possible time (a temperature increase of the frozen
food could shorten its storage period).
It is also advisable not to exceed the storage period
indicated by the producer of the food.
To ensure the correct functioning of the appliance, no
foodstuffs should be stored directly against the fan
blade.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in
the freezer.
Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer, can possibly result in a low temper-
ature skin burn.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands
are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or
"frost/freezer burns".
If there is a power failure during the storage of
frozen food, do not open the door during the
whole time of the power failure. If the freezer is
fully loaded, the frozen food will not be affected if
the power cut is of short duration; otherwise, it is
recommended to consume the food within a very
short time.

Thawing

Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can
be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature
depending on the time available. Small food items
may even be cooked from frozen; in this case cook-
ing will take longer.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally
should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown
away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has
not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and
then refrozen.
Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.

Ice making

Fill the ice tray with water to the top of each ice cube
compartment, and place it in the freezer. To release
the ice cubes, twist the tray along its length. Never
use a sharp instrument to remove ice from the tray.

Automatic defrost

Your appliance has been designed to be frost free.
This means there is no need to manually defrost
your appliance as this will be carried out automatical-
ly.
