HOW TO USE THE FREEZER
Advice for storing frozen food
When purchasing frozen food products:
ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in
damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package is
swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored
under optimal conditions and thawing may have already begun.
When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and
transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.
Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in the
freezer.
If food has thawed even partially, do not re-freeze it.
Consume within 24 hours.
Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum.
Respect the best-before date on the package.
Always observe the storage information on the package.
Removing the drawers
Pull the drawers out as far as they come, then lift up slightly
and remove.
Note:
Drawers and runners may be removed in order to obtain
increased storage space (Fig. 1).
Ensure that the load does not exceed the limit (if present)
indicated on the side walls of the appliance.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice cube tray 2/3 full and place it in the freezer
compartment.
Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to detach the tray if
it is stuck to the bottom of the freezer.
Bend the ice tray slightly to remove the cubes.
Note:
It will be difficult to open the door of the freezer immediately
after closing it.
Wait two or three minutes to allow the compensation of the
vacuum.
