Operation
The freezer drawer
Note!
The freezer drawers are suitable for freezing fresh food and storing
frozen food and deep-frozen food for a long time.
Freezing fresh food
•
Temperature of the freezer drawer must have already reached -18 °C (or lower)
before storing frozen food or freezing fresh food.
•
The freezer is only able to freeze a certain quantity of food at one time. The
maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the
rating plate, a label located on the inside of the appliance.
•
The freezing process lasts 24 hours. Do not add other food to be frozen during
this period.
•
After 24 hours, please check that the fresh food is satisfactorily frozen. If it is
then the thermostat should be turned down to its normal setting (between <
3
>
and <
4
>).
•
Warm food should be allowed to cool down before freeze. If place warm food in
the freezer, the increased humidity will cause quicker ice formation and increase
the amount of power that the appliance uses.
•
Fresh food should be packed into airtight containers or packaging. This will help
to make sure that the food doesn’t dry out or lose its flavour. It will also ensure
that flavour does not transfer to/from other foods.
•
Do not allow fresh food to touch items that are already frozen.
Storing frozen food
•
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, let the appliance run at least 2
hours on the higher settings before putting the product in the compartment.
•
The guidance of the food manufacturer should be followed, in regard to the
maximum storage time.
Thawing
•
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be used, can be thawed in the freezer
compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this
operation.
•
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen direclty from the freezer. In this
case, cooking will take longer.
•
Thawed foods must not be frozen for a second time.
