Fast-freezing, Freezing fresh food, Thawing

Fast-freezing

For fast-freezing, push the fast freeze switch (D). The fast freeze light (C) will then light up.

The fast-freezing function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming. If this function is not ended manually, the appliance switches off the fast-freezing function after 52 hours. The yellow light goes out.

This function can be ended manually at any time by pressing the fast freeze switch again. The yellow light goes out.

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 it is not necessary to move the thermostat knob from the normal setting. Push the fast freeze switch at least 3 hours before loading food.

In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 4 kg of fresh food.

Place the food to be frozen in the lower section of the freezer compartment as this is the coldest part.

To guarantee a good operation of the appliance during normal use, the drawers should not be removed.

Frozen food storage

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 coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the normal operating position.

Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer.

Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary.

Warning

Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the freezer compartment.

Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can cause low temperature skin burns.

Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or “frost/freezer burns”.

Important

In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen .

Thawing

Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature depending on the time available. Small food items may even be cooked from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer.

Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen.

Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.

Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in the oven in their aluminium wrapping.

A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the oven instructions, particularly regarding the placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in the oven.

Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.

Making ice cubes

The appliance is provided with one or more trays for ice-cubes trays.

Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expand and place them in the freezer compartment.

To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight twist.

Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.
