Freezing fresh food
The 4-star compartment is suitable for
long term storage of commercially frozen food, and
for freezing fresh food.
To freeze fresh foods press the quick freezing switch
at least 12 hours before introducing the food into the
freezer in order to ensure better freezing results.
Place the food to be frozen on the upper
compartment.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use,
before putting the products in the compartment press
the quick-freezing switch at least 12 hours before.
If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove
all drawers and baskets from appliance and place
food on cooling shelves.
Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit
stated on the side of the upper section (where
applicable).
Important
If there is a power failure when food is in the
freezer, do not open the door of the freezer
compartment. The frozen food will not be
affected if the power cut is of short duration (up
to 6-8 hours) and the freezer compartment is full,
otherwise, it is recommended that the food
should be used within a short time (a
temperature increase of the frozen food
shortens its safe storage period).
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more trays
for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with
water, then put them in the freezer compartment.
Do not use metallic instruments to remove the
trays from the freezer.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can
be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at
room temperature, depending on the time available
for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,
directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will
take longer.
Cold accumulators
The freezer contains two cold accumulators which
increases storage times in the event of a power cut
or breakdown. They are located in the upper
compartment.

time.
