Switching Off the Appliance
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the
electricity supply, empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the door
open to prevent unpleasant smells.
Freezing and Storing Frozen Food
It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is frozen quickly and that
the food already in the freezer is heated as little as possible.
If more than 3-4 kg of food is to be frozen:
1. Push the fast freeze switch (d) to the right 6-24 hours before placing the
fresh food in the freezer, the yellow light will illuminate. The compressor will
now run continuously, to ensure that the fresh food is frozen as quickly as
possible.
2. Place the food in the freezing compartment and leave the 'fast freeze' switch
on for a further 24 hours.
3. Then push the fast freezer switch again (the yellow light will go out and the
switch turns to its original position).
4. The freezing tray is suitable for freezing smaller fruits (raspberry, strawberry,
currant, etc.). Fruits should be put on the tray in thin layers without
packaging. After freezing they can be packed and sorted out then placed into
the storing compartments.
If the 'fast freeze' switch is accidentally left on, the freezer will not be
damaged, but energy will be wasted.
Frozen Food Storage
When first starting the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some
time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least 2 hours with the 'fast
freeze' switch on before storing frozen food.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer.
Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is necessary.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer. Ice lollies, if consumed
immediately after removal from the freezer can cause 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. In the event of a
power cut the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is
short and the freezer is full. Do not open the lid. Should the food begin to
thaw it must be consumed quickly and must not be refrozen.
