8. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
8.1 Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the
freezing process, here are some hints:
• The maximum quantity of food which
can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on
the rating plate.
Start the SUPER function
24 hours before placing
food in the appliance.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours.
No further food to be frozen should be
added during this period.
CAUTION!
In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due
to a power failure, if the
power has been off for
longer than the value shown
in the technical
characteristics chart under
"rising time", the defrosted
food must be consumed
quickly or cooked
immediately and then re-
frozen (after cooling).
7.3 Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to
being used, can be thawed in the
refrigerator 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.
• Freeze only 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.
