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.
•
the symbols on the drawers show different types of
frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for the
appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the
upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is
valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-
treating before freezing;
•
do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks,
etc.) in the freezer compartment as they may
burst.

Electrical connection
Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and
frequency shown on the serial number plate
correspond to your domestic power supply. Voltage
can vary by ±6% of the rated voltage.
For operation with different voltages, a suitably sized
auto-transformer must be used.
The appliance must be earthed.
The power supply cable plug is provided with a
contact for this purpose.
If the domestic power supply socket is not earthed,
connect the appliance to a separate earth in
compliance with current regulations, consulting a
specialist technician.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility if
the above safety precautions are not observed.
This appliance complies with the following
E.E.C. Directives:
- 87/308 EEC
of 2/6/87 relative to radio interference
suppression.
- 73/23 EEC
of 19.2.73 (Low Voltage Directive) and
subsequent modifications;
- 89/336 EEC
of 3.5.89 (Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive) and subsequent
modifications.
INSTALLATION
Location
The appliance should be installed well away from
sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct
sunlight etc.
For building into kitchen units follow the special “
Building-in” instructions given.
Attention
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from
the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be
easily accessible after installation.
