Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 18 kg of
fresh food.
Activate fast freeze by depressing the fast-freeze
switch (4) 24 hours before you want to freeze your
fresh food, the yellow light (3) illuminates.
If the quick-freezing function is not ended manually,
the appliance switch off the quick-freezing function
after 52 hours.The yellow light goes out.
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 two top
compartments of the freezer as this is the coldest
part; if freezing only a small amount of food, always
use the top compartment.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could
take up to 24 hours) press the fast freeze switch to
deactivate the fast freeze mode; the yellow light (3)
goes off.
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other
compartments, so that the top compartments can be
used for a further freezing operation.
Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned
foodstuffs.
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 two hours in the «fast
freeze» mode before storing frozen food.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
we strongly recommend that you make sure that the
commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately
stored by the retailer and, furthermore, be sure that
these frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the
foodstore to the consumer in the shortest possible
time (a temperature increase of the frozen food
could shorten its storage period).
It is also advisable not to exceed the storage period
indicated by the producer of the food.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Warning
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in
the freezer compartment.
Ice lollies, 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".
If there is a power failure during the storage of
frozen food, do not open the door during the whole
time of the power failure. If the freezer is fully
loaded, the frozen food will not be affected if the
power cut is of short duration; otherwise, it is
recommended to consume the food within a very
short time.
Before using
Remove all securing tapes.Wash inside the appliance
with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml
to 0.5 litre of water).
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell
may linger. Dry thoroughly.
