PACKING FRESH PRODUCTS FOR FREEZING

This freezer has two separate compartments.
- Upper drawer "A" is used for freezing fresh food.
- The two lower drawers are reserved exclusively for
storing frozen products.
For optimum freezing, activate the quick-freeze function
(SUPER) at least 3 hours beforehand.
Only freeze prime quality hermetically sealed products to
avoid loss of taste or drying out. Apply a label to each pack,
indicating the content and date of freezing. The quantity of
fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on
the appliance's rating plate (8kg/24h).
Do not place food in the freezer in contact with already
frozen products. This will prevent the food from increasing
in temperature. In this respect, it is important to transfer
frozen food from compartment "A" to the lower drawers.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
NEVER place ice cubes in the mouth or eat ice-lollies that
have just been taken out of the freezer, as these can cause
ice burns.
DO NOT place sealed containers containing liquids such as
soft-drinks or similar in the freezer.
Hot foods and drinks must be allowed to cool before being
placed in the freezer.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

It is impossible to accurately predict the effective storage
period for frozen food in that this varies considerably ac-
cording to the nature of the food itself.
967
To be safe, always follow the instructions reported on the
packaging of frozen food products.
GENERAL ADVICE:
Make sure that the packaging is intact and that there are
no damp marks or swelling, in that these indicate that the
frozen product may already have deteriorated.
Any food that has started to thaw out must not under any
circumstances be re-frozen.
Do not store frozen foods for longer than the recommended
time period.
If a power cut should occur, try to establish its duration.
If the forecast is less than 12 hours, leave the food in the
freezer and keep the door closed.
If the power cut lasts for longer than 12 hours and part of
the food starts to thaw out, this should be consumed as
soon as possible.
- Remove the food, wrap it in several layers of news-
paper and place it in the fridge or in a cool location.
- Remember that an increase in the temperature of the
food will greatly reduce its storage life.
WARNING! Do not use any mechanical devices or
other artifi cial methods other that those recom-
mended by the manufacturer for accelerating the
defrosting process.
WARNING: Unless otherwise approved by the
manufacturer, do not use electrical appliances
inside the food storage compartment.
