Freezing Foods Properly

- Within the refrigerator compartment, the air circulates
naturally, with the colder air falling because it is heavier. This
is the reason why meat and cheeses should be placed above
the vegetable crisper.
- Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum stor-
age time: any food, even the freshest, will not remain edible
for any extended amount of time.
- Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not store any
longer than raw food.
- Do not place liquids in containers without covering them
because this will lead to an increase in the level of moisture	Fig. 1
within the refrigerator, causing the formation of frost.

-Be careful not to place containers (plastic or glass), food or other objects in direct contact with the cooling area of the back wall of the refrigerator. This could harm the food, in- crease energy consumption and facilitate the formation of condensate (on food, containers, etc.).

-The refrigerator compartment is equipped with conven- ient, removable shelves (Fig. 1) which can be adjusted for height using the shelf guides. This allows you to place even large containers and foodstuffs in the refrigerator.

- For the preparation of food to be frozen, please con- sult a specialized manual.

- Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be re- frozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24 hours) or to freeze it once again.

-When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place the food that you wish to freeze in the top compartment "I" where the temperature will fall below -18°C, which is ideal for freezing food properly. Remember that proper con- servation depends on the speed of freezing.

-During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the freezer.

-The maximum daily quantity of food that can be frozen is indicated on the rating plate located to the left of the veg- etable crisper.

-In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is rec- ommended that you divide food into small portions so that they freeze quickly and uniformly. The packages should be clearly marked with the content and the date they were frozen.

- In order to have a larger storage volume, the freezer com- partment can be used without its drawers (except for the first one from the bottom), placing food directly onto the evaporator plates. After introducing the food to be stored, make sure that the door shuts properly.

-Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power failure or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in temperature within the compartment. If the door is not opened, frozen and fast-frozen foods will remain in their current state for approximately 9-14 hours.

-Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze.

-Fill the ice cube trays about 3/4 full.

-If the ambient temperature remains below 14°C for an extended period of time, the temperature needed for ex- tended storage of food in the freezer will not be reached, resulting in reduced storage life of the food.
