To ensure proper storage of deep-frozen and frozen foods, the temperature inside the freezer must be -18° or colder. lower numbers= warmer temperatures higher numbers= colder temperatures The temperature inside the appliance automatically adjusts itself: generally, it is best to set knob (A) to the mid position. To turn off the freezer, turn the switch (B) to the «O» position. NORMAL-SUPER switch (F) For normal operation the switch must be moved over to the left so that it covers window (E). Warning light (D) This light warns when the temperature inside the freezer has increased so much as to jeopardize the pr eservation of food. When the appliance is switched on for the first time or when food is placed in the compartment for freezing, this light remains on until the temperature has reached the level required for correct storage. If the warning light remains on continuously (more that 2 days), and after having checked that the door is properly closed, cali the Service Centre. 15 Quick freezing Slide switch (F) towards the right to position «S» («SUPER»). Indicator light (E) will then light up. Storage of commerclally frozen food Make sure that the products trave been correctly packed and stored by the retailer; s that there is only a very short time between when you purchase the products and when you put them in the freezer; s you do not store products for longer than the time specified by the food manufacturer; s you avoid opening the door too frequently and when you do open it, leave it open only for as long as is strictly necessary. If the freezer has been out of use for some time, before putting the products in the compartment let the freezer run for at least three hours on the normal setting. s Freezing of fresh foods and storage of commercially frozen food The freezer is marked with the symbol, which means that the compartment is suitable for freezing fresie food and for long-term storage of frozen food. Freezing of fresh foods To fast-freeze foods when the appliance has not been in use, switch on the freezer and let it run on the fast-freeze setting for at least three hours before putting the food to be frozen in the compartment. If the appliance is already in operation, it should run on the fast-freeze setting for at least 24 hours before the food is put in the freezer. Food to be frozen must be placed in the top compartment. The freezing operation can be considered to be complete 24 hours later. Once freezing is complete, switch (F) must be reset to the normal position. To help you get the best out of the freezing process, here are a few hints: The maximum amount of food which is freezable in 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate; s freeze only good-quality, fresie and well-cleaned foods; s split foods into small portions to speed up freezing and avoid having to thaw out more food than you require; s wrap food in foil or polythene film, ensuring that the wrapping adheres closely to the food and is well sealed; s it is a good idea to mark the packs - or the special carde, if provided - with the date on which foods were frozen so that you can keep a check on storage periods; s the foods for freezing should not be placed in contact with already frozen foods, but put in the special freezing compartment. This will stop the temperature of already frozen foods from rising. Never put fizzy drinks in the freezer as they might well burst. s Important If accidental thawing occurs - due to a power cut for example - the foods must be used up very quickly or else cooked immediately and refrozen. If, however, the power failure is relatively brief (from 6 to 8 hours) and the freezer compartment is packed full, the frozen foods will not suffer any damage. Ice cube trays The appliance is provided with one or more ice cube trays. These trays should be filled with drinking water and then placed in the appropriate compartment. Do not use metal tools to remove the trays when they are stuck-frozen inside the compartment. Never consume ice lollies or ice cubes immediately after removing them from the freezer since they can cause frost burns. Thawing Before being used, deep-frozen and frozen food can be thawed out either in the refrigerator (meat, poultry, fish, etc. ) or at room temperature (for other foods), depending on the time available for this operation. Small pieces of food can be cooked straight out of the freezer, without any intermediate thawing operation. Clearly, cooking time will be marginally longer than in the case of thawed food. 16 Defrosting Frost should be removed from the inside of the compartment with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the thickness exceeds 4 mm.
