Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more trays
for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with
water, then put them in the freezer compartment.
Do not use metallic instruments to remove the
trays from the freezer.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can
be thawed in the refrigerator 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.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use,
before putting the products in the compartment turn
the fast-freezing knob to the “S” symbol at least
3hours before.
To make the most of the freezer’s storage capacity,
remove drawer (A) and baskets (B) and (C); place
frozen and deep-frozen products directly on the
compartment shelves, making sure they are not
stacked above the loading line
.
Important
If there is a power failure when food is in the
freezer, do not open the door of the freezer
compartment. The frozen food will not be
affected if the power cut is of short duration (up
to 6-8 hours) and the freezer compartment is full,
otherwise, it is recommended that the food
should be used within a short time (a
temperature increase of the frozen food
shortens its safe storage period).
Freezing fresh food
The 4-star compartment
is suitable for
long term storage of commercially frozen food, and
for freezing fresh food.
To freeze fresh foods turn thefast freezing knob at
least 24 hours before introducing the food into the
freezer in order to ensure better freezing results.
Place the food to be frozen in the compartment as
shown in figure.
In order to freeze the quantity indicated on the rating
plate, arrange the food directly in contact with the
cooling surfaces. If the food is frozen in the baskets,
the maximum quantity freezable is slightly less.
Cold accumulator
The freezer contains a cold accumulator which
increases storage times in the event of a power cut
or breakdown. It is located in the upper
compartment.
