Helpful hints and tips
Freezing food
Before freezing, fresh food must be packed in airtight and
Only use fresh food of the best quality. Always leave hot food to cool to room termperature before placing in the freezer.
Divide food into small portions before freezing; this ensures that freezing is more rapid, and that you only need to defrost the amount needed for immediate consumption.
Mark the freezer packaging with the date of freezing.
Place fresh food for freezing close to the cold sides of the freezer, making sure that it is not in contact with the frozen food already in the freezer.
Frozen food can be stored anywhere inside the freezer, but should be kept at least 5 mm below the upper edge. If freezing is too slow, the quality of the food being frozen deteriorates. The amount of fresh food (expressed in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated in the chapter "Technical data" under "Freezing capacity".
Food storage
EN electrolux 7
For fresh frozen food, please refer to the storage period table underneath.
For purchased frozen food, never exceed the expiry date.
When you buy frozen food, make sure that it has been stored at the correct temperature. Do not buy products which have wet or damaged packaging. Place purchased products in your freezer as quickly as possible. We recommend using an insulated bag to bring such products home with you.
Important! Remember that fully or partially defrosted food must not be re- frozen. However, dishes which have been cooked using defrosted food may be frozen.
In the case of a power failure or breakdown
Do not open the lid.
Important! If the power has been off for longer that the value shown in the chapter "Technical data" under "Hold- over time", the defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooling).
