Freezing - AEG SANTO 3274 Operating Instructions Manual

Freezing

Except for the bottom drawer, which serves only for storage purposes,
all compartments and drawers in the freezer compartment are suited
for freezing.
Warning!
• Before foods are frozen, the actual temperature in the freezer com-
partment must be -18°C or colder.
• Please observe indicated freezing capacity on the rating plate. The
freezing capacity represents the maximum amount of fresh goods
that can be frozen within 24 hours. If you freeze goods on several
days, one after the other, freeze amounts equal to 2/3 to 3/4 of the
capacity indicated on the rating plate.
• When freezing large quantities of food, place the frozen freezing
accumulation block at the front into the top drawer in the freezing
compartment.
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into
meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
0 For freezing the maximum capacity press the FAST CHILL/-FREEZE but-
ton 24 hours prior to freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller quantities.
Yellow indicator lights up.
The FAST CHILL/-FREEZE button need not be pressed for freezing of
3
small quantities of up to 3 kg.
0 All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not
dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of
other frozen goods occurs.
Caution! Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze
to the goods.
0 Place packaged goods in the drawers. Unfrozen goods may not come
into contact with already frozen goods, otherwise the frozen goods
may start to thaw.
The appliance electronics automatically recognise when the FAST
3
FREEZE function can be stopped, and switch it off automatically. Yellow
indicator light goes out. You can also stop the FAST FREEZE function
manually by pressing the FAST CHILL/-FREEZE button again.
