Freezing food

Freezing

The freezing area is marked with this symbol.

You can use the device for freezing fresh food as well as for storing pre-frozen food Please refer to the recommendations given on the packaging of your food.

Attention

Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the freezing liquid may burst the bottle.

Be careful with frozen products such as coloured ice-cubes.

Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h. See Technical Features leaflet.

In order to maintain the quality of the food, the freezing must be effected as rapidly as possible. Thus, the freezing capacity will not be exceeded, and the temperature inside the freezer will not rise.

Attention

Keep the already deep-frozen food always separated with freshly placed food.

When deep-freezing hot food, the cooling compressor will work until the food is completely frozen. This can temporarily cause excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.

If you find the freezer door difficult to open just after you have closed it, don’t worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalize and allow the door to open normally after a few minutes.

You will hear a vacuum sound just after closing the door. This is quite normal.

Defrosting of the device

The freezer compartment defrosts automatically.

Warnings!

The fan inside the freezer compartment circulates cold air.

Never insert any object through the guard. Do not allow children to play with the freezer fan.

Never store products that contain inflammable propellant gas

(e.g. dispensers, spray cans etc.) or explosive substances.

Don’t cover the shelves with any protective materials, which may obstruct air circulation. Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls.

Do not obstruct the freezer fan guard to ensure that you obtain the best possible performance from your appliance.
