Setting up your appliance
ATTENTION
After transport stand the appliance upright and wait
at least 3 hours before plugging the appliance into the
mains to ensure proper performance.
Use these average temperature settings to ensure op-
timum performance and save energy.
Once the appliance has been connected to the mains, ensure
that the green light is on and turn the yellow light on as
well.
When the red light is off, turn off the yellow light: the
appliance is now ready for use.
Using your freezer
Freezing
- Remember that you should never re-freeze products you
have allowed to thaw, even if only partially: cook the food,
then either eat (within 24 hours) or re-freeze it.
- When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should
not touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place
the food that you wish to freeze in the top compartment
where the temperature will fall below -18°C, ideal for
freezing food properly. Remember that proper conservation
depends on the speed of freezing.
- Do not open the freezer door during freezing.
- Freeze only the quantities (in kg) shown on the data plate.
Important: never freeze more than the nominal amount of
food .indicated on the rating plate at one time.
- If a large amount of food is introduced for freezing at one
time, the freezer temperature may momentarily increase
inside the compartment (red light on). Since this is just a
transient situation, the foods already stored in the freezer
will not be harmed.
- After 24 hours, freezing will be completed, turn off the
yellow light.
Important:
.Remember to carry out this last step in order
to save energy.
- For the best conservation and defrosting, remember to
freeze small portions; this will ensure rapid and uniform
freezing. Mark the freezing date and description of the
contents on the package, as shown in the table.
- In the case of power failure or breakdown, do not open
the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature
inside the freezer ensuring that foods are conserved for at
least 9-14 hours.
- Do not store full bottles in the freezer since they could
explode when they freeze. (Remember that liquids increase
in volume when frozen).
- Fill the ice trays so that they are no more than 3/4 full.
Preservation of Foodstuffs
To preserve frozen and deep-frozen foods well, never set
the thermostat below 1, no matter what the room tempe-
rature is.
For room temperatures from 25°C to 27°C the knob should
be set between 1 and 2 while for room temperatures of up
to 32°C, set between 2 and 3.
The maximum storage times for frozen foods are indicated
in the tables “Guide for using the freezer.
Always follow the instructions on the packages of deep
frozen foods carefully and if there are no instructions
neverkeep the food for more than 3 months from the date
of purchase.
When buying deep-frozen foods, ensure that they have been
stored at appropriate temperatures and that the wrapping
is intact.
To keep the quality of the deep-frozen food unlatered,
transfer it to special containers and then place it inside the
storage compartment as soon as possible.
If a packing shows signs of moisture and abnormal swelling,
it has probably been stored at the wrong temperature and
the contents have been spoiled.
