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 it is not necessary to move the

thermostat knob from the normal setting.

However, for a faster freezing operation, turn the ther-

mostat knob to the coldest setting; but remember

that, in this condition, the refrigerator compartment

temperature might drop below 0

If this occurs reset thermostat knob to a warmer set-

ting.

Place the food to be frozen on the freezer shelf as this

is the coldest part.

To help you make the most of the freezing process,

here are some important hints:

the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen

in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;

the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food

to be frozen should be added during this period;

only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned,

foodstuffs;

prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapid-

ly and completely frozen and to make it possible sub-

sequently to thaw only the quantity required;

wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and

make sure that the packages are airtight;

do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which

is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature

of the latter;

lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt

reduces the storage life of food;

water ices, if consumed immediately after removal

from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the

skin to be freeze burnt;

it is advisable to show the freezing-in date on each in-

dividual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage

time;

on the inner door or special card (if supplied) you will

ﬁnd sketches of various animals and food types to-

gether with the recommended storage time (in

months) from the time of freezing;

do not put carbonated liquids (ﬁzzy drinks, etc.) in

the freezer compartment as they may burst.

Storage of frozen food

When ﬁrst starting-up or after a period out of use, be-

fore 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.

To obtain the best performance from this appliance,

you should:

make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs

were adequately stored by the retailer;

be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the

foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible time;

not open the door frequently or leave it open longer

than absolutely necessary.

Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot

be refrozen.

Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the

food manufacturer.

Important

If there is a power failure when food is in the

freezer, do not open the door of the freezer com-

partment. 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).

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.

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.
