Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,
directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking
will take longer.
Removal of freezing baskets from the
freezer
The freezing baskets have a limit stop to pre-
vent their accidental removal or falling out. At
the time of its removal from the freezer, pull
the basket towards yourself and, upon
reaching the end point, remove the basket by
tilting its front upwards.
At the time of putting it back, slightly lift the
front of the basket to insert it into the freezer.
Once you are over the end points, push the
baskets back in their position.
Freezing baskets
The freezer baskets ensure that it is quick
and easy to find the food package you want.
To gain space, the baskets can be removed
and the food can be put directly on the
shelves. On all shelves, except the top shelf,
it is possible to place food that protrude 20
mm from the front edge. This allows maxi-
mum use of the available space.
Important!
Do not remove the bottom
basket to ensure correct air circulation.
Helpful Hints and Tips
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which can
be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating
plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No
further food to be frozen should be added
during this period;
• only freeze top quality, fresh and thorough-
ly cleaned, foodstuffs;
• prepare food in small portions to enable it
to be rapidly and completely frozen and to
make it possible subsequently to thaw only
the quantity required;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or pol-
ythene and make sure that the packages
are airtight;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch
food which is already frozen, thus avoiding
a rise in temperature of the latter;
• lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of
food;
• water ices, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer compartment,
can possibly cause the skin to be freeze
burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezing in date
on each individual pack to enable you to
keep tab of the storage time.
