Freezing Fresh Food; Storage Of Frozen Food; Thawing - Electrolux ENB 43391 W User Manual

Freezing fresh food

The 4-star compartment
suitable for long term storage of
commercially frozen food, and for
freezing fresh food.
To freeze fresh foods it is not
necessary to change the setting of the
thermostat knob with respect to the
normal running position.
However, for a quicker freezing
operation, turn the thermostat knob to
the coldest setting; but remember
that, in this condition, the refrigerating
compartment temperature might drop
below 0°C.
If this occurs reset thermostat knob to
a warmer setting.

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 for at least two hours on the
coldest setting, then turn the
thermostat knob to the normal
operating position.

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to
is
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.
