Frozen food storage

When the freezer is being turned on for the ﬁrst

time, or after a prolonged period of disuse, turn the

N/S knob to the Quick-freezing position and then

wait at least two hours before introducing the food

to be conserved.

You may then return the knob to the «N» position.

This two-hour waiting period may be avoided if the

freezer has already been in operation.

Helpful hints

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 have 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 partially-

thawed foods must not be re-frozen but must be

consumed within 24 hours of purchase.

To improve the capacity of the freezer, it is

necessary to remove drawer «A» and baskets «B»

and «C». Store frozen foods directly on the

compartments shelves. In this case avoid passing

the load limit

(Fig. 8).

Cold accumulator

A cold accumulator is supplied in the freezer; this

increases the length of time for which food will keep

in the event of a power failure or breakdown. It

must be placed in the top drawer (Fig. 8).

Thawing-out frozen foods

Frozen foods must be allowed to thaw out before

use either in the refrigerator (meat, poultry, ﬁsh,

etc.) or at room temperature (all other foods)

according to the available time.

Frozen products which come in small-sized or

separate packages may be cooked directly without

thawing; obviously, in this case, the cooking time

will last a little longer.

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.

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.

Defrosting

Frost should be removed with the special plastic

scraper provided, whenever the thickness exceeds 4

mm. During this operation it is not necessary to cut-

off the power or to remove the food from the

freezer.

Do not use metal tools to remove frost so as to avoid

seriously damaging the appliance.

If a thick layer of ice is formed it will be necessary

to carry out complete defrosting as following:

set the knob (E) to «O» position or unplug the

appliance from the mains socket;

wrap frozen food in several layers of newspaper and

place the food packages in a cool place;

leave the door open. Introduce the plastic scraper in

the appropriate seating at the bottom center, as

shown in ﬁgure, place underneath a basin to collect

the defrost water.

D068

When defrosting is completed dry the interior

thoroughly.

Keep the scraper for future use.

Turn the thermostat knob (E) to the desired

position or replace the plug in the socket. After

letting the appliance to run for two or three hours

on the quick-freeze setting, it is ready again for

storing frozen food.
