Note the following points
when freezing fresh
products
Place the food directly onto the special
freezing surface located on the base of
the upper drawer. This will lead to faster
and more efficient freezing. Make sure
that pre-frozen products that are already
stored in the freezer do not touch the
fresh food that is being frozen.

Making Ice Cubes

Figure Y
Fill the tray to_full and place on the
special freezing surface or in the upper
drawer. To remove the ice cubes easily
once they are frozen, gently bend the
tray.

Cold Accumulators

This accessory is only included with
some models. Therefore, if your
appliance does not have it, please go to
the next section.
The accumulators delay the defrosting
process and help to keep the food cold
in the event of a breakdown or power
cut.
The best results in these cases are
obtained by placing the accumulators in
the upper drawer directly on top of the
frozen food.
The accumulators can also be taken out
of the freezer and used as a practical
means of keeping fresh food cold for
short periods in portable cool-boxes and
isothermal bags.

Chart showing storage
periods for frozen foods
In order to enjoy the frozen products
when they are at their best, they should
always be consumed before their
freezing date expires. This period varies
according to the type of product. The
numbers shown next to the symbols
indicate the recommended storage
periods in months for each product.
When pre-frozen products are bought,
check the use-by date shown on the
packaging.

Defrosting food

It is possible to defrost food in many
different ways. Depending on the type of
food and the use it will be put to, choose
between the following methods:
- at room temperature
- in the refrigerator compartment
- in an electric oven with/without fan
- in a microwave oven
Use the all the food up once it has been
allowed to partially or completely defrost.
Do not re-freeze these products unless
they have been previously cooked (in the
oven or boiled), in which case they may
be refrozen according to the instructions
for pre-cooked foods.
