Ice-cube production

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

permit the expansion of the ice, then put them in the

space below the quick-freezing compartment (see

the diagram). If the water in your area is rich in

minerai salts (limestone, in particular), we advise you

to use noncarbonated mineral water for the

production of ice cubes. The ice-cubes may be

shaken out of the plastic trays with a slight twist.

HINTS

Hints for freezing

All products to be frozen must be fresh and of

excellent quality.

Each freezing package must be adjusted to the

familyÕs consumption quantity in order to be used

just once.

Small-sized freezing packages allow a more rapid

and uniform freezing.

Do not forget that once frozen foods trave thawed

out, they spoil rapidly.

Low-fat content foods are better conserved in the

freezer than those with higher fat content. Salt

(whenever present) reduces the duration of

satisfactory conservation.

Foods to be frozen must be enclosed in air-tight

sacks or containers especially indicated for this

purpose.

Close these sacks or containers tightly to

eliminate all air.

Never piace bottles or cans of carbonated

beverages in the freezer. These might explode.

Never introduce hot foods or liquids.

Never fill the freezing sacks or containers with

covers to the brim.

Do not consume certain products (popsicles, etc.)

immediately after removing them from the

freezer,because their extremely low temperature

might cause burns.

Indicate the freezing date on every sack or

container as a means of controlling conservation

times.

Never open the freezer door or introduce new

foods to be frozen whenever a Quick-freezing

phase is already in progress.

Hints for storage of frozen food

Always check the preparation date indicated on

the frozen foods you buy and respect the

expiration time provided by the producer.

Do not open the freezer door too often and leave

it open only for the minimum time necessary.

Unnecessary increases in temperature will

notably reduce the duration of the frozen food

conservation.

Make sure that all frozen food packages are

intact; otherwise the food may trave spoiled.

If such packages present signs of swelling or

humidity marks, this means that the food has not

been conserved correctly, implying that the

product has lost some of its original quality.

When buying frozen foods, carry them in a

thermally insulated shopping bag whenever

possible. In any case, always purchase frozen

foods at the end of your shopping. Wrap the

frozen foods in newspaper and then put them into

the freezer as soon as you arrive home.

Always check the frozen foods you buy carefully

at the moment of purchase, because even

partiallythawed foods must not be re-frozen but

must be consumed within 24 hours of purchase.

To make the most of the freezerÕs storage

capacity, remove drawer (A) and baskets (B) and

(C); place frozen and deep-frozen products

directly on the compartment shelves, making sure

they are not stacked above the loading line.
