DAILY USE

FREEZING FRESH FOOD

The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen
and deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary
to change the medium setting.
However, for a faster freezing opera-
tion, turn the temperature regulator to-
ward higher settings to obtain the max-
imum coldness.
In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature
might drop below 0°C. If this oc-
curs reset the temperature regu-
lator to a warmer setting.
Place the fresh food to be frozen on the
top compartment.
STORAGE OF FROZEN FOOD
When first starting-up or after a period
out of use, before putting the products
in the compartment let the appliance
run at least 2 hours on the higher set-
tings.
If large quantities of food are to be
stored, remove all drawers and baskets
from appliance and place food on cool-
ing shelves to obtain the best perform-
ance.
The symbols show different types of
frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in
months for the appropriate types of fro-
zen goods. Whether the upper or lower
value of the indicated storage time is
valid depends on the quality of the
foods and treating before freezing.
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.
WARNING!
Make sure that foods do not ex-
ceed the load limit stated on
the side of the upper section
(where applicable)
In the event of accidental de-
frosting, for example due to a
power failure, if the power has
been off for longer that the val-
ue shown in the technical char-
acteristics chart under "rising
time", the defrosted food must
be consumed quickly or cooked
immediately and then re-frozen
(after cooling).
THAWING
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to
being used, can be thawed in the re-
frigerator compartment or at room tem-
perature, depending on the time availa-
ble for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen, directly from the freezer: in this
case, cooking will take longer.
FROZEN FOOD CALENDAR
Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the trays from the
freezer.
COLD ACCUMULATORS
One or more cold accumulators are
supplied in the freezer; these increase
the length of time for which food will
keep in the event of a power failure or
breakdown.
