Using the freezer compartment
PACKING FRESH PRODUCTS FOR FREEZING
This freezer has two separate compartments.
•
Upper drawer “A” is used for freezing fresh food.
•
The two lower drawers are reserved exclusively for storing frozen products.
For optimum freezing, activate the quick-freeze function (SUPER) beforehand.
Only freeze prime quality hermetically sealed products to avoid loss of taste or drying out. Apply a label
to each pack, indicating the content and date of freezing. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen
in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance’s rating plate (5kg/24h).
Do not place food in the freezer in contact with already frozen products.
This will prevent the food from increasing in temperature. In this respect, it is important to transfer
frozen food from compartment “A” to the lower drawers.
Defrosting
If a power cut should occur, try to establish its duration.
If the forecast is less than 12 hours, leave the food in the freezer and keep the door closed.
If the power cut lasts for longer than 12 hours and part of the food starts to thaw out, this should be
consumed as soon as possible.
•
Remove the food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and place it in the fridge or in a cool loca-
tion.
•
Remember that an increase in the temperature of the food will greatly reduce its storage life.
WARNING!
Do not use any mechanical devices or other artificial methods other that those recom
-
mended by the manufacturer for accelerating the defrosting process.
WARNING!
Unless otherwise approved by the manufacturer, do not use electrical appliances inside the
food storage compartment.
