Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer
provided.
Butter and cheese should be placed in special sealed containers, wrapped in aluminium foil
or placed in a sealed bag.
Milk bottles should be capped and stored in the bottle rack in the door.
To save energy, all of the door shelves and glass shelves should be fitted in their designed
location.
Ice cubes
This appliance can accept one or more ice cube trays for making ice cubes.
Freezing tips
To help you optimise the freezing process, here are some important tips:
The maximum amount of food that you can freeze every 24 hours can be found on the ID
plate.
The freezing process takes 24 hours. Do not add any more food to freeze during this time.
Only freeze good quality, fresh and properly washed food.
Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make
it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required.
Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight.
Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid raising
their temperature.
Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, may
cause frost burns to the skin.
We recommend labelling and dating each frozen package.
To obtain ice cubes faster, we recommend placing the ice cube trays in the top drawer.
Thawing food
Before eating, frozen or deep frozen food may be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at
ambient temperature, depending on the time available.
Some food may also be cooked directly when taken out of the freezer, while it is still frozen. In
this case, cooking will take longer.
Important
In the event of accidental thawing, caused for example by a power break, quickly eat
the thawed food. Never refreeze thawed food.
Hints for the storage of frozen food
To guarantee optimum performance, comply with the following instructions:
Ensure that frozen food has been stored correctly by the food retailer.
Ensure that frozen food is quickly carried from the retailer to your freezer.
Do not open the door too often or avoid leaving the door open longer than necessary.
Once thawed, food will deteriorate rapidly and should never be refrozen.
Do not exceed the storage states shown on the food.
