otherwise freezing will not be thorough and after
dissolving various deterioration may take place (losing
taste and aroma, lysing, etc.).
Do not make ice during freezing preferably, because
making ice reduces freezing capacity.
Frozen Food Storage
When first starting the freezer or if the freezer has been out
of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance
for at least 2 hours before storing frozen food.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manufacturer.
Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than
is necessary.
It is practical to replace frozen products into the
basket(s)after freezing has finished. Doing this you could
make room in the freezing compartment for another
freezing. Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods
already stored.
In large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the
baskets except the lowermost one from appliance and
place food on the shelves.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer.
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from
the freezer can cause a low temperature skin burn.
In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will not
be affected if the power cut is short and the freezer is full.
Do not open the door. Should the food begin to thaw it
must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen.
(See Hints and Tips)
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are
damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or
frost/freezer burns.
Thawing
Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be
thawed in the fridge or at room temperature, depending on
the time available. Small food items may even be cooked
from frozen, in this case cooking will take longer.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally
should either be eaten as soon as possible, or thrown away.
Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been
completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen.
Defrosted c
ooked food must never be
refrozen.

full with cold water, place in the

Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the
freezer compartment by using pointed or sharp
edged objects.
