Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing process,
here are some important hints:
•
the maximum quantity of food which can be
frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;
•
the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further
food to be frozen should be added during this
period;
•
only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly
cleaned, foodstuffs;
•
prepare food in small portions to enable it to be
rapidly and completely frozen and to make it
possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity
required;
•
wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene
and make sure that the packages are airtight;
•
do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food
which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in
temperature of the latter;
•
lean foods store better and longer than fatty
ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;
•
water ices, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer compartment, can
possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
•
it is advisable to show the freezing-in date on
each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of
the storage time;
HINTS
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place
on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two days
at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these should be
covered and may be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s)
provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in
special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium
foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as
possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should
be stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not
packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
you should:
•
make sure that the commercially frozen
foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer;
•
be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred
from the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest
possible time;
•
not open the door frequently or leave it open
longer than absolutely necessary.
•
Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and
cannot be refrozen.
•
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by
the food manufacturer.
•
on the inner door or special card (if supplied) you
will find sketches of various animals and food
types together with the recommended storage
time (in months) from the time of freezing;
•
do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks,
etc.) in the freezer compartment as they may
burst.

Desescarche
La escarcha del evaporador del compartimento
refrigerante se elimina automáticamente a cada
interrupcion del motocompresor. El agua de la
escarcha derretida, mediante un canal adecuado, se
recoge en un pequeño depósito colocado en la
parte posterior sobre el motocompresor del aparato,
de donde evapora.
Se recomienda limpiar periódicamente el
agujero de desagüe del agua de desescarche,
situado en la parte central del canal en el
compartimiento refrigerante, utilizando el
«limpiador» adecuado que se encuentra en el
agujero, para evitar que el agua de desescarche
caiga sobre los alimentos.
Atención
Se recomienda no utilizar utensilios metálicos
para quitar la escarcha a fin de evitar graves
daños al aparato.
No usar dispositivo mecánico alguno u otro
medio artificial para acelerar el processo de
desescarche excepto los recomendados.
