Freezer compartment
The freezer compartment allows the freezing of fresh products as well as
the conservation of frozen products.
The quantity of food to be frozen must not exceed the quantity indicated
on the nameplate. If the quantity to be frozen is greater than this value, it
is still possible to freeze in several batches.
Freezing fresh produce
• Only freeze fresh produce after cleaning and preparing it if necessary.
• Allow cooked meals to cool to room temperature before putting them in
the freezer.
• All products to be frozen must be packaged in "special freezer" and
airtight containers.
• Each packet must be correctly proportioned and suitable for
family consumption so as to be used in one go. Small packages allow
for rapid and uniform freezing.
Attention :
• Thawed product should never be refrozen.
• Do not place soft drink bottles in the freezer, they could burst.
To freeze fresh produce
Adjust the thermostat to obtain the lowest possible temperature without it
reaching a value below 0° in the refrigerator.
Do not open the freezer door during the freezing operation Leave the
appliance in freezing mode for 24 hours, then, at the end of this time,
return the thermostat knob to the middle position.
Storage of frozen products
Frozen products can be grouped together to leave free space for
•
freezing.
When you buy a frozen product, make sure that the packaging is intact,
•
that it does not show any traces of humidity, that it is not swollen, which
would be a sign that it has started to defrost.
Respect the shelf life indicated by the supplier of frozen products.
•
Avoid opening the door too often and only leave it open for as long as
•
necessary. An increase in temperature can reduce the shelf life of food.
