Frozen food strorage
Your freezer has the following storage
capacity:
Net storage volume: 104 litres.
We advise you to run your new freezer
for a day before storing frozen foods.
Freezing fresh foods
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to
10kg (22lbs).
Slide the fast freeze switch (A) to the
left to position «S» about 2-3 hours
before you want to freeze your food. The
fast freeze light will come on (B). After
the time has elapsed place the food to be
frozen in the top compartment of the
freezer as this is the coldest part.
Only freeze top quality, fresh and
thoroughly cleaned foodstuffs.
Remember also that lean foods keep
better and longer than fatty foods. Salt
too reduces storage time.
Wrap the foods in foil or food film, or
freezer bags, ensuring that the wrapping
is well sealed. In this way, by avoiding
contact with the air, the retention of
colour, flavour and nutritional value is
greater.
Mark the packs, or the storage cards
with contents and dates so that you can
keep a check on storage periods.
Do not allow fresh food to touch food
which is already frozen. During the
freezing process ensure that the freezer
door remains closed.

Once the food is completely frozen,
(which will take up to 24 hours
depending on the amount), return the
Fast Freeze switch (A) to the off
position, thus covering the fast freeze
light.
Attention
Do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy
drinks) in the freezer compartment.
Water ices, if consumed immediately
after removal from the freezer, can
possibly result in a low temperature skin
burn condition.
If there is a power failure during the
storage of frozen food, do not open the
door during the whole time of the failure.
If the freezer is fully loaded, the frozen
food will not be affected if the power cut
is of short duration; otherwise it is
recommended to consume the food
within a very short time.
