Do not put fresh food next to food that has already been frozen to avoid causing the frozen food
to warm up.
Speed Freezer:
This compartment enables you to deep freeze fresh food very quickly.
It also proves very useful when storing your shopping.
Additional ice cube container:
Located in the shelf on the inside of the door, this enables you to increase your ice cube storage
capacity.
The maximum weight of food that you can freeze over 24 hours is shown on the
information plate (inside your appliance's refrigerator section near the bottom of
the left-hand wall) under the heading: "CAPACITE DE CONGELATION/ FREEZING
CAPACITY (kg/24h)".
You can defrost food in five different ways:
- By putting them in your appliance's refrigerator section for several hours
- By leaving them to defrost gently at ambient temperature
- In a conventional oven at a very low temperature (40/50°C)
- In a microwave oven
- By cooking them immediately
Defrosting them in the refrigerator is the slowest but safest method.
Never refreeze food once it has defrosted, even partially, without cooking it first.
We would advise you not to place any items you have just taken out of the freezer
straight into your mouth (ice cream, ice cubes, etc.): they will be at a very low
temperature and you risk frostbite. Avoid touching frozen or deep-frozen food
with wet hands; you may stick to the food. We recommend that you only defrost
food for immediate use.
The defrosting of the freezer part of your machine is completely automatic.
The water resulting from defrosting drains into a recovery tank, located on the motor.
The heat released by the motor causes the evaporation of the contents of this tank.
