Freezing - Electrolux ERS8997B Instruction Book

Temperature memory
The temperature memory shows when an alarm has
been triggered in the cabinet.
The temperature memory operates as follows:
When the temperature inside the freezer again falls
below -11°C the audible alarm stops. The
temperature display and the red warning lamp will
flash to indicate than an alarm was triggered. When
the alarm shut-off button is pressed, the display then
displays the warmest temperature inside the cabinet
during the alarm phase and the display stops
flashing. By referring to the temperature display
indication, it is possible to decide whether or not to
discard the products inside the freezer.
At about -12°C:
Most food products can be immediately re-frozen.
Ice cream is especially sensitive to temperature
changes and should be consumed as soon as
possible.
At -9° -- -2°C:
Food products should be prepared (cooked) prior to
eating or re-freezing them.

Freezing

You need not press the fast-freezing button when
freezing smaller quantities of food during any
24-hour period.
In all other cases, press the fast-freezing button
approx. 24 hours prior to placing the food in the
freezer.
Fast-freezing is automatically switched of 48 hours
after the button has been pressed.
Fast-freezing can be discontinued by pressing the
fast-freezing button once again.
The yellow fast-freezing lamp remains lit as long as
the fast-freezing button is engaged.
A" (ACTION FREEZE) is displayed in the
temperature display.
Practical advice on freezing
· When freezing products, use the top shelf, and if
necessary the shelf beneth as this is the coldest
part. .
· When freezing large amounts of food/provisions,
the accumulator moves to the tray/space nearest
to the lower freezing shelf.
- 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.

Check that the cabinet is operating and
keeps the set temperature one day after
switching it on for the first time. Only
after then should the freezer be used to
freeze fresh foodstuff.
