Freezing fresh foods
To fast-freeze foods when the appliance has not been
in use, switch on the freezer and let it run on the fast-
freeze setting for at least three hours before putting
the food to be frozen in the compartment.
If however the appliance is already in operation, it
should run on the fast-freeze setting for at least 24
hours before the food is put in the freezer.
During fast freezing the compressor works
continuously, using the maximum cooling power.
Keep the knob on the same setting for 24 hours after
loading the food to be frozen, and then reset the knob
to the position for storage of deep frozen foods.
It is necessary to consider the freezing capacity of the
appliance, that is the maximum amount of food that
can be frozen in 24 hours; this capacity is 20 kg.
Place packages of deep frozen foods as shown in
Fig. 5.
Place the food to be frozen in the upper
compartments, so that they do not come in contact
with already frozen foods, as their higher temperature
might increase the temperature of frozen foods.
At the end of the freezing period, place the frozen
food in other compartments in order to leave room for
freezing more food.
