Storage of frozen food

When the freezer is being turned on for the first time,
or after a prolonged period of disuse, press the N/S
switch and then wait at least two hours before
introducing the food to be conserved. You may then
repress the switch. This two-hour waiting period may
be avoided if the freezer has already been in
operation.

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 (except for the
last one at the bottom) and place food on cooling
shelves.
Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated
on the side of the upper section (where applicable).

Important

In the event of accidental defrosting, for example
due to a power failure, if the power has been off
for longer that the value shown in the technical
characteristics chart under “rising time”, the
defrosted food must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then refrozen (after
cooling).

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can
be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at
room temperature, depending on the time available
for this operation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,
directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will
take longer.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays
for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with
water, then put them in the freezer compartment.

Do not use metallic instruments to remove the
trays from the freezer.

Freezing fresh food

The 4-star compartment  

is suitable for

long term storage of commercially frozen food, and
for freezing fresh food.

If the freezer has already been working for some
time, press the N/S switch at least 12 hours before
introducing the food into the freezer in order to
ensure better freezing results.

Place the food to be frozen in the compartment as
shown in figure.

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 freezable is slightly less.

The temperature alarm light (A)

The temperature alarm light turns on automatically
whenever the temperature within the freezer rises
above a certain value which might endanger
satisfactory long-term conservation.

It is perfectly normal for the temperature alarm light
to remain lit up for a short time after the freezer is
initially turned on. It will remain lit up until the
optimum temperature for the conservation of frozen
food is attained.
