7 Starting up the freezer

1.Switch on the freezer by turning the temperature dial

to the right (for the time being turn the dial fully to the right to the maximum postion)(the green and red lights - if provided - go on)

2.If equipped with a SUPER FREEZE SWITCH turn it on (the yellow light will also come on).

3.Do not open the door of the freezer compartment for about 4 hours, or for as long as the red light is on, so that the temperature in the freezer can drop to the necessary level.

4.You can now fill the freezer with frozen food (food which has been bought ready frozen). The SUPER FREEZE SWITCH should be switched off again after 24 hours at the latest.

5.If you want to freeze fresh, unfrozen food, consult the chapter "Freezing / Storing fresh food."

Warning!

Do not store any bottled liquids in the freezer. Liquids expand when frozen and the bottle may explode. Never keep explosive substances or aerosol cans with inflammable propellants such as butane, propane, pentane etc. in the freezer. Any escaping gases could be ignited by electrical components. Such aerosol cans can be recognised by the list of contents or by the inflammable symbols printed on the can itself. When storing ready frozen food, you must follow the manufacturer's instructions on the food packaging. Deep frozen ice-cream and ice-lollies must not be eaten until a few minutes after being taken from the freezer to avoid injury to lips and tongue (danger of skin detachment). For the same reason, avoid touchng the frozen inside walls of the freezer with wet hands. Defrosted or slightly frozen products should be used immediately. As a rule, such products are not suitable for re-freezing.

Packaging should be dry to avoid things freezing together.

Ready frozen foods should be stored so that they do not come into contact with newly added foods which have not yet frozen.

8 Freezing / Storing fresh food

Almost all fresh products are suitable for freezing and storing in the freezer.

For the most common of these products, a storage guide with details of acceptable storage times and the most suitable packaging is provided. (see" Food storage guide

"at the back of this user manual).

Label fresh products clearly as they are not easy to identify when deep frozen in transparent freezer-bags. We recommend using commercially available labels for frozen foods.

Instruction for use

Pack fresh products in portions suitable for your needs to avoid defrosting quantities that are too big for you to use up in one day.

Label the portions with at least the following information:

Product name (e.g. beef fillet)

Weight of the Portion

Quantity (number of pieces)

Freezing date

Use by date (see "Food storage guide")

Then continue as follows:

a)Berries, fruits with peel, herbs etc. should be laid out loose for freezing on the freezing tray (not all models are supplied with this) in the upper part of the freezer and then put into freezer bags after about 12 hours. Store the filled freezer bags in one of the available drawers.

Fresh food should be placed in the top drawer and moved down to one on the lower drawers after approx. 24 hours.

Avoid putting fresh foods directly in contact with deep frozen food. The deep frozen food could defrost and may not last out the mormal storage time.

b)Within a period of 24 hours fill up the freezer only with the adequate quantities of fresh food for the freezing capacity of your freezr.

c)If your freezer is equipped with a SUPER FREEZE SWITCH, switch it on (the yellow light will come on) this is not strictly necessary when filling up with already frozen foods (e.g. deep frozen foods).

WARNING! Switch off the SUPER FREEZE SWITCH after 24 hours at the latest (the yellow light will go off).

d)Set the temperature dial to a medium to high setting.

e)Keep the temperature in the freezing copmartment

under control preferably by placing a suitable thermometer with a scale range of up to -26oC.

The storage temperature must always be at least -18oC.

Refilling the freezer compartment with fresh (not frozen) food

Make sure that you wait at least 24 hours before refilling with fresh food, in adequate quantities for the freezing capacity of your freeze.

Maximum capacity

In order to ensure correct storage of frozen food, never fill the drawers up to the top.

Set the temperature dial strictly according to the filling capacity.

To save energy in normal room temperatures (+ 18oC to

+22oC) we recommend setting the temperature dial to a medium setting.

Storage time

The storage time for ready deep-frozen products depends on the type of product and on its ingredients.
