6 USING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT EN
FOOD FREEZING GUIDE
Fruits
Fruit must be covered with sugar or syrup, as appropriate. The
amount of sugar to use is around 250g for 1 kilo of fruit. Syrups
are used in varying percentages; these are prepared by boiling
sugared wa- ter. The various concentrations are as follows:
•30% solution, 450g of sugar per litre of water;
•40% solution, 650g of sugar per litre of water;
•50% solution, 800g of sugar per litre of water;
So that the fruit's colour does not change, place it in lemon juice
before covering it with sugar or pour lemon juice into the syrup.
The receptacles for the fruit to be frozen must remain in the refri-
gerator for one hour before being re-inserted into the freezer.
The fruit must be completely covered in syrup
Bread
This can be kept for 2 months. Defrost in an oven set to 50°C,
switching it on after inserting the bread.
Butter and cheese
Freeze butter and cheese by dividing them up into pieces for
weekly consumption. Butter and hard cheese (e.g. Parmesan)
can be kept for 8 months, other cheese 4 months. They must
be defrosted in the refrigerator, keeping an eye on the conden-
sation that forms on these products.
ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR FREEZER
D o not put fresh food next to food that has already been frozen
to avoid causing the frozen food to warm up.
Information:
The maximum weight of food that you can freeze over 24
hours is shown on the information plate (inside your
appliance's refrigerator section near the bottom of the left-
hand wall) under the heading: "CAPACITE DE CONGELA-
TION/FREEZING CAPACITY (kg/24h)".
SUPER FREEZE :“SPEED FREEZER”
• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and fresh
foods ) more quickly because of the freezing room’s greater free-
zing power.
• For opening the shelf pull the cover up, and slide it in to the
compartment. You can close it in the same way.
• Be sure that the cover of fast freezing shelf is closed before
closing the compartment door. If not, it can not show its fast
freezing power.
Information:
The food must be frozen right through as quickly as possi-
ble in order to preserve its vitamins, its nutritional value, its
appearance and its taste.
