Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:

•the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;

•the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period;

•only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;

•prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rap- idly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;

•wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight;

•do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter;

•lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;

•water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;

Care and cleaning

•it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the stor- age time.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost wa- ter drains out through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor compres- sor, where it evaporates.
