quickly or cooked immediately and
then re-frozen (after cooked).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be
used, can be thawed in a fridge
compartment or at room temperature,
depending on the time available for
this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen, directly from the freezer. In
this case, cooking will take longer.
Helpful hints and tips
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 aluminum 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 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 food store 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.
CARE AND CLEANING
For hygienic reasons the appliance
interior, including interior accessories,
should be cleaned regularly.
Regularly examine the drain in the
chest freezer for defrosted water. If
necessary, clean the drain.

connected to the mains during
cleaning. Danger of electrical shock!
Before cleaning switch the appliance
off and remove the plug from the
mains, or switch off or turn out the
circuit breaker or fuse.
Do not clean the appliance with metal
objects.
Do not use sharp objects to remove
frost from the appliance. Use a plastic
scraper.
Never clean the appliance with a
steam cleaner. Moisture could
accumulate in electrical components,
danger of electrical shock! Hot vapors
can lead to the damage of plastic
parts.
The appliance must be dry before it is
placed back into service.
Important! Ethereal oils and organic
solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g.
lemon juice or the juice form orange
peel, butyric acid, cleanser that
contain acetic acid. Do not allow such
substances to come into contact the
appliance parts.
Do not use any abrasive cleaners.
Cleaning
•Remove the food from the freezer.
Store them in a cool place, well
covered.
•Switch the appliance off and remove
the plug from the mains, or switch off
or turn out the circuit breaker of fuse.
•Clean the appliance and the interior
accessories with a cloth and lukewarm
water. After cleaning wipe with fresh
water and rub dry.
•Accumulation of dust at the
condenser increases energy
consumption. For this reason carefully
clean the condenser at the back of the
appliance once a year with a soft
brush or a vacuum cleaner (if the
condenser is at back of appliance.)
•After everything is dry place the
appliance back into service.
Defrosting the freezer
The freezer, however, will become
progressively covered with frost. This
should be removed.
