Freezing fresh foods

To fast-freeze foods when the appliance has not been

in use, switch on the freezer and let it run on the fast-

freeze setting for at least three hours before putting

the food to be frozen in the compartment.

If however the appliance is already in operation, it

should run on the fast freeze setting for at least 24

hours before the food is put in the freezer.

Once the food has been placed in the freezer, the

freezing operation can be considered to be complete

24 hours later.

Once this time has elapsed, move switch (A) to the

normal position.

Food to be frozen must be placed in the top

compartment.

The maximum amount of food which can be frozen is

indicated on the rating plate. This is to be found on

the bottom left-hand side.

To help you get the best out of the freezing process,

here are a few hints:

Freeze only good-quality, fresh and well cleaned

foods. Split them into small portions to speed up

freezing and avoid having to thaw more food than you

require. Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and

must not be re-frozen;

remember that lean foods keep better and longer than

fatty foods. Salt too reduces storage time;

wrap the food in foil or polythene ﬁlm, ensuring that

the wrapping adheres closely to the food and is well

sealed. In this way, by avoiding contact with air, the

colour, ﬂavour and nutritional value of the food

remains intact;

do not freeze, all at once, more than the quantity of

food indicated on the rating plate;

during the freezing process, do not add further food

for freezing and do not open the freezer door;

food for freezing should not be placed in contact with

already frozen food, but put in the special freezing

compartment, this will stop the temperature of already

frozen food from rising;

never put ﬁzzy drinks in the freezer as their containers

might well burst;

never put hot foods or liquids in the freezer and take

care not to ﬁll containers up to the brim if they are

covered with a lid.

It is a good idea to mark the packs or the special cards

(if supplied) with the date on which freezing started

so that you can keep a check on storage periods.

If accidental thawing occurs – due to a power cut for

example – food must be used up very quickly or else

cooked immediately and refrozen. If, however, the

power failure is relatively brief (from 6 to 8 hours)

and the freezer is full, the frozen food will not suffer

any damage.

On the inner freezer door you will ﬁnd schematic

drawings of foods and animals indicating the

maximum storage time (in months) possible from the

time of freezing.

Storage of commercially frozen

food

To get the best out of your freezer when storing

commercially frozen food:

the products have been correctly stored by the retailer;

ensure that there is only a very short time between

when you purchase the products and when you put

them in the freezer;

do not store products for longer than the time

speciﬁed by the food manufacturer;

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

before putting food in the appliance, let it run for at

least three hours with switch (A) in the «SUPER»

position, then return the switch to the normal position;

do not open the door too frequently and leave it open

only for as long as strictly necessary;

do not consume ice lollies straight from the freezer;

they can cause frost burns;

if there is a power failure, do not open the door.

If the freezer is full and the power failure is of short

duration, frozen products will not be affected,

otherwise they should be used up quickly.

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 can be cooked straight from the

freezer; in this case, however, the cooking time will

be marginally longer.
