Freezer compartment
•
If food is to be frozen immediately after having
installed the appliance or after a prolonged period
out of use, push the button and allow the
appliance to run for at least 4 hours before
placing the food in it.
If the freezer is already operating, with food inside
it, push the button 24 hours before loading food to
be frozen.
•
The alarm light indicates when the temperature
inside the freezer compartment has risen to a
point at which safe storage of frozen foods can no
longer be guaranteed. When the appliance is first
started up, or after having loaded a quantity of
food to be frozen, this warning light will stay or
until a safe storage temperature has been
reached.
•
Products to be frozen should be placed in the fast
freeze compartment and, once frozen, moved to
the storage baskets.
•
The maximum freezing capacity is 13 kg in 24
hours. Do not freeze more than one quantity at a
time.
Useful hints for freezing
•
Products to be frozen should be fresh and clean.
•
Pack foods in suitable family portions which can
be used up all at once.
•
Small packs allow fast and uniform freezing.
•
Lean foods keep better and longer than fatty
foods. Salt reduces the storage life of food.
•
Wrap foods closely in aluminium foil or plastic
bags or film, and make sure they are properly
sealed.
•
Attach a label to each pack, indicating the
contents and the date on which it was prepared.
•
Never place hot foods, bottles or containers with
fizy drinks in the freezer (they could explode).
•
Do not fill containers with lids right to the brim.
•
Do not add more food or open the doors during
the freezing process.
•
Never place food to be frozen in contact with
already frozen food, as this would increase the
temperature of the latter.
