Useful hints for freezing
¥
Products to be frozen should be fresie and clean.
¥
Pack foods in suitable family portions which can
be used up all at once.
¥
Small packs allow fast and uniform freezing.
¥
Lean foods keep better and longer than fatty
foods. Salt reduces the storage life of food.
¥
Wrap foods closely in aluminium foil or plastic
bags or flim, and make sure they are properly
sealed.
¥
Attach a label to each pack, indicating the
contents and the date on which it was prepared.
¥
Never piace hot foods, bottles or containers with
fizy drinks in the freezer (they could explode).
¥
Do not fili containers with lids right to the brim.
¥
Do not add more food or open the doors during
the freezing process.
¥
Never piace food to be frozen in contact with
already frozen food, as this would increase the
temperature of the latter.
Storing frozen foods
After having started up the freezer, select the fast
freeze function (knob F to position ÇSÈ) at least 3
hours before loading frozen food. Then return the
knob to the normal storage temperature (knob F to
the mid position).
There are no particular problema in storing frozen
foods. Packs may be placed next to or on top of
each other.
When buying frozen foods, get them home and into
your freezer as quickly as possible. Packs which are
damaged or show traces of moisture indicate that
the product has not been stored at the correct
temperature and that the food may trave lost its
original quality.
Partially defrosted foods must never be re-frozen
and must be consumed as quickly as possible.
Never consume products after the date shown on
the pack.
In the event of a short power cut, foods will not be
affected, but you should avoid opening the appliance
doors.
Important
In the event of accidental defrosting, for example
due to a power failure, if the power has been off
for longer that the value shown in the technical
characteristics chart under Òrising timeÓ, the
defrosted food must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then refrozen (after
cooling).

Thawing food
Foods may be thawed in various ways, depending
on their type and the size of pack.
Meat, fish and fruit may be thawed in the refrigerator
compartment. Small pieces of meat may be cooked
from frozen. Vegetables thaw immediately in boiling
water. Pre-cooked dishes may be re-heated directly
in the oven in their container. Microwave ovens are
particularly suitable for defrosting all types of frozen
food. Follow the instructions supplied with the oven.

depth, to allow for expansion of the ice.
