Temperature Inside The Freezer; Freezing; Suitable Storage Periods; Thawing - Electrolux ER8415B Instruction Book

Hints:
· Distribute foodstuffs to allow cold air to
circulate freely between the products.
· Do not place food products directly against the
cooling plate on the rear wall since they may
freeze in this case.
· Also never put warm products into the cabinet.
Wait until they have cooled down.
· Cover all foods properly to avoid odours and
flavours from tainting other food.

Temperature inside the freezer

To ensure that foodstuff will keep for a long time, be
sure that the temperature inside the freezer is -18°C
or below. Please note, however, that the energy
consumption increases as the temperature decreases.

Freezing

Practical advice on freezing
· Do not freeze too much food at the same time.
The freezing capacity of the unit is indicated in
the specifications section.
· When freezing products, use the top shelf, and if
necessary the shelf beneth that.
· Place the foods directly on the freezer shelves.
· Spread out the products as much as possible to
allow air to circulate between them.
· Do not place food products which are to be
frozen directly against other frozen food.
The heat from the unfrozen food may cause
the frozen food to thaw on the surface.
· Once frozen, re-arrange the products and put
them as close as possible to each other.
The food will then stay cold longer in the
event of a power failure.
· When freezing large amounts of food/provisions,
the accumulator moves to the tray/space nearest
to the lower freezing shelf.

Suitable storage periods

Food purchased in frozen condition: Follow the
advice on the maximum storage period indicated on
the packaging.
Fresh food frozen at home:
Fatty and salty food should not be kept frozen for
more than three months. Cooked food and low-fat
food may be kept up to about six months. Lean food
and berries can be kept for approximately one year.

Thawing

It is best to use the fridge to thaw food. Place the
foodstuff on a plate with a raised edge to prevent
liquids from running out. To quickly thaw food, put
it in room temperature or in cold water. When using
a microwave oven to thaw foodstuff, follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
