Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 20 kg of
fresh food.
When you first start the freezer or after a period of
non-use, move the fast-freeze switch
➁
to the
SUPER position 2-3 hours before you want to freeze
your food (the yellow light
➂
lights up). If the freezer
is already in operation, the fast-freeze switch should
be activated about 24 hours before freezing fresh
food. This time can be shortened, depending on the
quantity of food to be frozen. After the time has
elapsed place the food to be frozen in the
appliance's two top compartments; if freezing only a
small amount of food, use the top compartment. In
the first compartment, products must only be stacked
up to the mark on the cell so as to ensure that air
circulation is not obstructed.
You should never freeze more than 20 Kg. of
fresh food at anyone time.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take
up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze button to the
«OFF» position; the yellow light
➂
goes off.
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other
compartments, so that the two top compartments
can be used for a further freezing operation. Only
freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned
foodstuffs.
Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is
already frozen.
During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer
door remains closed.
Frozen food storage
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run
your appliance for at least two hours in the «fast
freeze» mode before storing frozen food.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
we strongly recommend that you make sure that the
commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately
stored by the retailer and, furthermore, be sure that
these frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the
foodstore to the consumer in the shortest possible
time (a temperature increase of the frozen food
could shorten its storage period).
It is also advisable not to exceed the storage period
indicated by the producer of the food.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks
etc.), in the freezer compartment.
Water ices, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer, can possibly
result in a low temperature skin burn.
Do not remove items from the freezer if
your hands are damp/wet, as this could
cause skin abrasions or "frost/freezer
burns".
If there is a power failure during the storage
of frozen food, do not open the door during
the whole time of the power failure. If the
freezer is fully loaded, the frozen food will
not be affected if the power cut is of short
duration; otherwise, it is recommended to
consume the food within a very short time.
To remove the drawers, proceed as follows: pull the
drawer out until it comes to a stop, then tilt it upwards
(see figure).
