Freezing fresh food

In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 13 kg of
fresh food.

When you first start the freezer or after a period of
non-use, press the  fast freeze switch 12 hours
before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light
(B) illuminates).

If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze
knob should be activated about 2-3 hours before
freezing fresh food. 

This time can be shortened, depending on the
quantity of food to be frozen. After the time has
elapsed place the food to be frozen in the upper
compartment of the freezer as these are the coldest
parts.

In order to freeze the quantity indicated on the rating
plate, arrange the food directly in contact with the
cooling surfaces. If the food is frozen in the baskets,
the maximum quantity that can be frozen is slightly
less.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take
up to 24 hours) press again the fast freeze switch;
the yellow light (B) goes off.

Distribute the frozen food packages in the other
compartments, so that the top compartments can be
used for a further freezing operation.

-

The food to be frozen must be fresh and of the
best quality.

-

Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is
already frozen.

-

During the freezing process, ensure that the
freezer door remains closed.

Frozen food storage

When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run
your appliance for at least 12 hours in the «fast
freeze» mode before storing frozen food.

To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
you should:
If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all
drawers and baskets from appliance and place food
on the cooling shelves.
Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated
on the side of the upper section (where
applicable).

Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manufacturer.

Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.

Important

Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in
the freezer compartment.

Ice Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer, can possibly result in a low
temperature skin burn.

Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands
are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or
“frost/freezer burns”.

Important

In the event of a power cut do not open the door.
The food in the freezer will not be affected if the
power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should
the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly
and must not be re-frozen.
