Daily Use
Freezing fresh food
• The freezer compartment is suitable for freez-
ing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-
frozen food for a long time.
• Place the fresh food to be frozen in the bottom
compartment.
• The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating
plate, a label located on the inside of the ap-
pliance.
• The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during
this period do not add other food to be frozen.
Storing frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use.
Before putting foodstuffs in the compartment let
the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher
settings.
Helpful hints and tips
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing pro-
cess, here are some important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which can be
frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No fur-
ther food to be frozen should be added during
this period;
• only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly
cleaned, foodstuffs;
• prepare food in small portions to enable it to
be rapidly and completely frozen and to make
it possible subsequently to thaw only the
quantity required;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or poly-
thene and make sure that the packages are
airtight;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food
which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in
temperature of the latter;
• lean foods store better and longer than fatty
ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;

Important! In the event of accidental defrosting,
for example the power has been off for longer
than the value shown in the technical character-
istics chart under "rising time", the defrosted food
must be consumed quickly or cooked immedi-
ately and then re-frozen.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to use, can be
thawed in the freezer 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.
• water ices, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer compartment, can
cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezing date on
each individual pack to enable you to keep
tabs on the storage time.
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appli-
ance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially frozen food-
stuffs were adequately stored by the retailer;
• ensure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred
from the foodstore to the freezer in the short-
est possible time;
• not open the door frequently or leave it open
longer than absolutely necessary;
• once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and
cannot be refrozen;
• do not exceed the storage period indicated by
the food manufacturer.
