Freezing fresh food

The 4-star compartment ( ) is suitable for long

term storage of commercially frozen food and for

freezing fresh food.

To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to move the

thermostat knob from the normal setting.

However, for a faster freezing operation, turn the

thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but

remember that, in this condition, the refrigerator

compartment temperature might drop below 0°C.

If this occurs reset thermostat knob to a warmer

setting.

Place the food to be frozen on the freezer shelf as

this is the coldest part.

To help you make the most of the freezing process,

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 further 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 polythene 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;

water ices, if consumed immediately after removal

from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause

the skin to be freeze burnt;

it is advisable to show the freezing-in date on each

individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the

storage time;

on the inner door or special card (if supplied) you

will ﬁnd sketches of various animals and food types

together with the recommended storage time (in

months) from the time of freezing;

do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc.) in the

freezer compartment as they may burst.

Storage of frozen food

When ﬁrst starting-up or after a period out of use,

before putting the products in the compartment let

the appliance run for at least two hours on the

coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to

the normal operating position.

To obtain the best performance from this appliance,

you should:

make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs

were adequately stored by the retailer;

be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from

the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest 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.

Important

If there is a power failure when food is in the freezer, do

not open the door of the freezer compartment. The frozen

food will not be affected if the power cut is of short

duration (up to 6-8 hours) and the freezer compartment is

full, otherwise, it is recommended that the food should be

used within a short time (a temperature increase of the

frozen food shortens its safe storage period).

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.
