In order to freeze the quantity indicated on the rating

plate, arrange the food directly in contact with the

cooling surfaces. If the food is frozen in the baskets,

the maximum quantity that can be frozen is slightly

less.

Once the food is completely frozen (which could take

up to 24 hours) press again the fast freeze switch;

the yellow light (B) goes off.

Distribute the frozen food packages in the other

compartments, so that the top compartments can be

used for a further freezing operation.

The food to be frozen must be fresh and of the

best quality.

Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is

already frozen.

During the freezing process, ensure that the

freezer door remains closed.

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,

you should:

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

drawers and baskets from appliance (except for the

last one at the bottom) and place food on the cooling

shelves.

Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated

on the side of the upper section (where

applicable).

Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the

manufacturer.

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 compartment.

Ice Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal

from the freezer, can possibly result in a low

temperature 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".

Important

In the event of a power cut do not open the door.

The food in the freezer will not be affected 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.

Thawing

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 cooking 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.

Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the

refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat

can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must

ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.

Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling

water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in

the oven in their aluminium wrapping.

A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing

any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the

oven instructions, particularly regarding the

placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in

the oven.

Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.

Making ice cubes

The appliance is provided with one or more plastic

ice cube trays.

Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expand

and place them in one of the freezer compartment.

To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight

twist. Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to

remove the trays from the freezer.
