The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.
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 at least 2 hours.
The freezer baskets ensure that it is quick and easy to find the food package you want. If
large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers. On all shelves it is possible
to place food that protrude until load limit stated on the side of the middle section
(if foreseen).
In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power
has been off for longer that the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under
"rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and
then re-frozen (after cooling).
Frozen Food Calendar
The symbols show different types of frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods.
Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the
quality of the foods and treating before freezing.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator com-
partment 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, cook-
ing 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.
Cold accumulators
One or more cold accumulators are supplied in the freezer; these increase the length of
time for which food will keep in the event of a power failure or breakdown.
