Frozen Storage; Preparation Of Ice Cubes - Electrolux EU 1180 U Operating Instructions Manual

Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet
hands. Your hands could freeze to the food.
0 Place the packed food in the drawers.
Unfrozen food must not touch items
already frozen, otherwise the frozen food
could begin to defrost.
Tips:
• The following are suited for the packaging
of frozen goods:
– freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;
– special cans for frozen goods;
– extra–thick aluminium foil.
• The following are suitable for sealing bags
and wrap:
plastic clips, rubber bands or tape.
• Smooth the air out of the bag before
sealing; air makes it easier for the frozen
food to dry out.

Frozen Storage

Important! Wait until the necessary storage
temperature of –18 °C has been reached before
storing food already frozen.
• Load freezer only with packaged frozen
goods, so that they do not dry out or lose
their flavour, and so that no flavour conta-
mination of other frozen goods can occur.
• Please observe maximum storage times
and expiry dates of frozen goods.

Preparation of Ice Cubes

0 Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold
water, place it in the freezer and leave to
freeze.
0 To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend
the ice cube tray or hold it under running
water for a few seconds.
• Make flat packages, because these freeze
more quickly.
• Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim
with liquid or paste–like goods, because
liquids expand during freezing.
Note for inspection authorities:
Batch plans for the determination of freezing
performance or warm-up time can be requested
directly from the manufacturer.
0 Press the fast freeze button. The yellow
fast freeze light illuminates.
0 Once the required storage temperate has
been reached, press the fast freeze button
again. The yellow light goes out.
Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted
2
by type, as far as possible. Riders are sup-
plied for placing on drawers. To mark the
contents of the individual drawers, press
the rider over the corresponding symbol
(see "Frozen Food Symbols/Freezer
Calendar" section). This will give you a
better overview of the contents, avoid
extended door opening and therefore save
electricity.
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is
frozen to the freezer using pointed or sharp
edged objects. Use the ice scraper supplied.
