Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance Tips on Freezing - Remember that you should never refreeze products you have allowed to thaw, even if only partially. Once thawed, cook the food, then either eat (within 24 hours) or refreeze it - Consult a specialized manual when packaging foods for freezing. - For the best storage and thawing, remember to freeze small portions. this will ensure rapid and uniform freezing. Mark package with a description of the contents and the date it was frozen. - Never freeze more food than that allowed by the maximum freezing capacity indicated on the data plate which is located on the back of the freezer. - Turn the E switch to the "S" setting (the yellow D light will come on). - To freeze food, make sure that the red light is off. Then turn the fast freeze switch (E) to the "S" setting (Super). Then place the food to be frozen into the freezer, making sure that it is placed, to the furthest extent possible, in direct contact with the side walls of the deepest part of the freezer and not in contact with food that has already been frozen. It should be kept in mind, in fact, that proper storage depends on the speed at which the food is frozen. For this reason, we recommend that the switch be turned to the "S" setting 24 hours before the food to be frozen is placed inside the freezer. - Avoid opening the freezer door during the freezing process. - Placing substantial amounts of fresh food in the appliance may temporarily raise the temperature within the freezer (the red light will turn on). Since this is a temporary situation, it will not compromise the storage of the food that has already been frozen. - After 24 hours and once the freezing process has been completed, turn the freezer switch (E) to the "N" setting (yellow light is off). Attention: Do not forget to change the temperature setting if you want to avoid useless wastes of energy. - In the case of power failure or breakdown, do not open the freezer door.
