Helpful hints and tips

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing

process, here are some important hints:

• the maximum quantity of food which can be

frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No fur-

ther food to be frozen should be added dur-

ing this period;

• only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly

cleaned, foodstuffs;

• prepare food in small portions to enable it to

be rapidly and completely frozen and to make

it possible subsequently to thaw only the

quantity required;

• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or poly-

thene and make sure that the packages are

airtight;

• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch

food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a

rise in temperature of the latter;

• lean foods store better and longer than fatty

ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;

• water ices, if consumed immediately after re-

moval from the freezer compartment, can

possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;

• it is advisable to show the freezing in date on

each individual pack to enable you to keep

tab of the storage time.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this appli-

ance, you should:

• make sure that the commercially frozen food-

stuffs were adequately stored by the retailer;

• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred

from the foodstore to the freezer in the short-

est possible time;

• not open the lid 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.

Caution! Do not use detergents, abrasive

products, highly perfumed cleaning

products or wax polishes to clean the inner side

of the appliance.

Prevent damage to the cooling system.

Important! There is no need to clean the

compressor area.

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners con-

tain chemicals that can attack/damage the

plastics used in this appliance. For this reason

it is recommended that the outer casing of this

appliance is only cleaned with warm water with

a little washing-up liquid added.

Defrosting the freezer

Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches

a thickness of about 10-15 mm.

The best time to defrost the freezer when it

contains no or only a little food.
