Warning light

This light

warns when the temperature inside the

appliance has increased so much as to jeopardize the

preservation of food in the compartment (warmer than

-12°C).

When the appliance is switched on for the ﬁrst time or

when food is placed in the compartment for freezing,

this light remains on until the temperature has

reached the level required for correct storage.

Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing

Calendar

The symbols on the drawers show different types of

frozen goods.

The numbers indicate storage times in months for the

appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper

or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid

depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating

before freezing.

Freezing of fresh foods

To quick-freeze foods when the appliance has not

been in use, switch on the freezer and let it run on the

quick-freeze setting for at least three hours before

putting the food to be frozen in the compartment.

If instead the appliance is already in operation, it

should run on the quick-freeze setting for at least 24

hours before the foods are put in the freezer. Once

the foods have been placed in the freezer, the

freezing operation can be considered to be complete

24 hours later. Once freezing is complete, the freezer

should be reset for normal storage use.

Food to be frozen has to be placed in the top

compartment.

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.

In the top compartment, products must only be

stacked up to the mark on the cabinet wall so as to

ensure that air circulation is not obstructed.

Storage of commercially frozen

food

If the freezer has been out of use for some time,

before putting the products in the compartment let the

freezer run for at least two hours on the quick-freeze

(SUPER) setting. After this, reset the freezer for

normal storage use.

If required, to accomodate large items, the wire shelf

in the central compartment can be removed to make

use of the appliance's full volume.

To remove the drawers, proceed as follows: pull the

drawer out until it comes to a stop, then tilt it upwards

(see figure).

Important

If accidental thawing occurs – due to a

power cut for example – the foods must be

used up very quickly or else cooked

immediately and refrozen. If, however, the

power failure is relatively brief and the

freezer compartment is packed full, the

frozen foods will not suffer any damage.

Thawing

Before being used, deep-frozen and frozen food can

be thawed out either in the refrigerator or at room

temperature, depending on the time available for this

operation.

Small pieces of food, such as hamburgers, cutlets

chips, and ﬁsh ﬁngers, for example, can be cooked

straight out of the freezer, without any intermediate

thawing operation.

Clearly, cooking time will be marginally longer than in

the case of thawed food.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with trays for the

production of ice-cubes.

Fill these trays with water to 3/4 of their height, then

put them in the freezer compartment. The ice-cubes

may be shaken out from the trays by simply twisting;

do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays

from the freezer.
