5. DAILY USE
5.1 Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen
and deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the
FastFreeze function at least 24 hours
before placing the food to be frozen in
the freezer compartment.
Store the fresh food evenly distributed in
the first and second compartment or
drawer from the top.
The maximum amount of food that can
be frozen without adding other fresh food
during 24 hours is specified on the rating
plate (a label located inside the
appliance).
When the freezing process is complete,
the appliance automatically returns to the
previous temperature setting (see
"FastFreeze Function").
5.2 Storage of frozen food
When activating an appliance for the first
time or after a period out of use, before
putting the products in the compartment
let the appliance run at least 3 hours with
the FastFreeze function switched on.
The freezer drawers ensure that it is
quick and easy to find the food package
you want. If large quantities of food are
to be stored, remove all drawers, except
for the bottom drawer which needs to be
in place to provide good air circulation.
Keep the food no closer than 15 mm
from the door.
CAUTION!
In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due
to a power failure, if the
power has been off for
longer than the value shown
on rating plate under "rising
time", the defrosted food
must be consumed quickly
or cooked immediately then
cooled and then re-frozen.
Refer to "High temperature
alarm".
5.3 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to
being consumed, can be thawed in the
refrigerator or inside a plastic bag under
cold water.
This operation depends on the time
available and on the type of food. Small
pieces may even be cooked still frozen.
5.4 Cold accumulators
This appliance is equipped with cold
accumulators which increase storage
time in the event of a power cut or
breakdown.
To ensure the best performance of the
accumulators, place them in the front top
area of the appliance.
