food that can be frozen
in 24 hours is shown on
the rating plate.
Note:
In the event of a power cut,
the low temperature
compartment will maintain
a sufficiently low
temperature for food
storage. However, it is
advisable to avoid opening
the compartment door
during such periods.
Freezing fresh food
(only in
compartments
marked
)
Important
Before freezing, wrap and
seal fresh food in:
aluminium foil, cling film,
air and water-tight plastic
bags, polythene containers
with lids or freezer
containers suitable for
freezing fresh food.
Arrange the fresh food in
the top compartment,
leaving sufficient space
around each pack for the air
to circulate.
For optimum freezing, turn
the thermostat down by half
a point when placing fresh
foods in the freezer
compartment.
The food will be completely
frozen in 24 hours.
For appliances with
compartments
marked
The table alongside
shows the
recommended
maximum storage time
for frozen fresh foods.
When purchasing frozen
food products:
Ensure that the packaging is
not damaged (frozen food
in damaged packaging may
have deteriorated). If the
package is swollen or has
damp patches, it may not
have been stored under
optimal conditions and
defrosting may have already
begun.
When shopping, leave
frozen food purchases until
last and transport the
products in a thermally
insulated cool bag.
Place the items in the low
temperature compartment
as soon as you get home.
If food has defrosted even
partially, do not re-freeze it.
Consume within 24 hours.
Avoid, or reduce
temperature variations to
the minimum. Respect the
best-before date on the
package.
Always observe the storage
information on the package.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice cube tray 2/3 full
and place it in the low
temperature compartment.
Do not use sharp or pointed
instruments to detach the
tray if it is stuck to the low
temperature compartment
bottom.
Bend the ice tray slightly to
remove the cubes.
