The quickfreezing indicator light (B) will then light up. Warning light Operation Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light will light up, indicating that the appliance is powered. Turn the thermostat knob, clockwise, beyond the «O» (STOP) position. To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to position «O». The temperature alarm light turns on automatically whenever the temperature within the freezer rises above a certain value which might endanger satisfactory long-term conservation. It is perfectly normal for the temperature alarm light to remain lit up for a short time after the freezer is initially turned on. It will remain lit up until the optimum temperature for the conservation of frozen food is attained. Temperature regulation The temperature is automatically regulated and can be increased to achieve a higher temperature (warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward lower settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob towards higher settings. However, the exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the refrigerator depends on: · · · · room temperature; how often the door is opened; the quantity of food stored; location of appliance. 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 fast freeze setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the normal operating position. Important If there is a power failure when food is in the freezer, do not open the door of the freezer compartment. 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). A medium setting is generally the most suitable. 11 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 allow it to run on the fast freeze setting for at least 24 hours before loading food. Place the food to be frozen in the upper in the freezer compartment as this is the coldest part. 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 10 kg 10 kg 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. HINTS Hints for freezing 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 rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently 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 · · individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time; The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods. The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods.
