Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 20 kg of
fresh food.
Activate fast freeze by depressing the fast-freeze
button
➃
- for more than one second - 24 hours
before you want to freeze your fresh food, the yellow
light
➂
illuminates. 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 top 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) the fast freeze function can be ended
manually at any time by depressing the button
➃
again for more than one second. The yellow light
goes out. If the fast freeze function is not ended
manually, the appliance electronics switch off the fast
freeze function after 48 hours. The yellow light
➂
goes out.
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.
Ice lollies, 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).

Freezing calendar
The symbols on the drawers show different types of
frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for the
appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper
or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid
depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating
before freezing.
