Hints for freezing
• 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 food in the compartment.
• 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 aluminum foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid
temperature rise of the latter.
• Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment,
will probably cause frost burns to the skin.
• It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep track of the
storage time.
Hints for the storage of frozen food
• Ensure that frozen food has been stored correctly by the food retailer.
• Once defrosted,food will deteriorate rapidly and should not be re-frozen. Do not exceed
the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
Switching off your appliance
If the appliance needs to be switched off for an extended period, the following steps should
be taken to prevent mould on the appliance.
1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from the mains socket.
3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged open slightly to allow air to circulate.
To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions
• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant in crease of the temperature
in the compartments of the appliance.
• Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage
systems.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact
with or drip onto other food.
• Two-star frozen-food compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen food, storing or
making ice cream and making ice cubes.
• One-, two- and three- star compartments are not suitable for the freezing of fresh food.
