Fruit must be coated with sugar or syrup accordingly. Use about 250g of sugar for
1 kilo of fruit. The quantity of syrup to be used varies. Prepare the syrup by boiling
sugar in water. Use the following concentrations: 30%
solution, 450g of sugar per litre of water, 40% solution, 650g of sugar per litre of
water, 50% solution, 800g of sugar per litre of water.
Putting the fruit in lemon juice before covering it with sugar will help the fruit to keep
its colour. Alternatively, pour some lemon juice into the syrup.
The recipients used to freeze fruit should be placed in the fridge for 1 hour before
putting them in the freezer. The fruit must be completely covered with syrup.

Bread
Bread keeps for 2 months. Thaw by putting it in the oven, then heating to 50°C.
Butter and cheese
Divide butter and cheese into portions representing 1 week's consumption before
freezing. Butter and hard cheeses (e.g. Parmesan) keep for 8 months. Other
cheeses keep for 4 months. Thaw them out in the fridge compartment,
and remove the condensation that forms on the surface.
STORING FOOD
Do not put fresh food next to food that is already frozen or the
temperature of the frozen food will rise.
Information:
the maximum weight of food that can be frozen per 24 hours is
shown on the ID plate (at the bottom of the left-hand wall of the
fridge
compartment)
CAPACITY (kg/24h)".

ADJUSTING THE FREEZER THERMOSTAT
Adjusting the freezer thermostat:
– If the food is stored in the freezer compartment for
average periods, set the thermostat between minimum and
medium.
– If the food is kept in the freezer compartment for long periods,
set the thermostat to medium.
– Set the thermostat to maximum to freeze fresh food.
The appliance will work for longer. Once the
food is frozen, adjust the thermostat to a more
suitable setting.
In the cold season, you can adjust the appliance to a lower
setting to save energy.
QUICK
FREEZE
model)
• Use the quick freeze compartment to freeze your home-made
meals and fresh produce more quickly.
This compartment is more powerful.
• Switch on the Super function in advance.
Information:
food must be frozen right through as quickly as possible in order
to keep its vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and taste.
THAWING FOOD
There are five different ways
to thaw food:
• put it in the fridge compartment of the appliance
for several hours
• leave it to thaw slowly at ambient temperature
• in a very cool traditional oven (40/50°C)
• in a microwave
• by cooking it directly
Thawing in the fridge is the slowest, but safest method.
Caution:
never freeze food again that has already been thawed, even
partially, without cooking it first. Do not put food that has
just been taken out of the freezer
(ice cream, ice cubes, etc.) in your mouth, because they are
extremely cold and can cause burns.
Avoid touching frozen or deep frozen food with wet hands,
because thay may become stuck.
It is preferable to only thaw food for immediate use.
