Using your freezer

Freezing

-Remember that you should never re-freeze products you have allowed to thaw, even if only partially: cook the food, then either eat (within 24 hours) or re-freeze it.

-In order to freeze fresh foods, the switch must be turned to the left (the yellow light will come on). Then introduce the food to be frozen into the top compartment, placing them - to the furthest extent possible - in direct contact with the cooling plate and away from any frozen food being stored.

Proper freezing depends on the speed at which food is fro- zen. For this reason, we recommend that the switch be turned to the freeze setting (the yellow light will come on)

24 hours before the food to be frozen is placed in the freezer. This operation is necessary for large quanti- ties of food (up to the maximum capacity indicated on the data plate).

-Do not open the freezer door during freezing.

-If a large amount of food is introduced for freezing at one time, the freezer temperature may momentarily increase inside the compartment (red light on). Since this is just a transient situation, the foods already stored in the freezer will not be harmed.

-After 24 hours have passed and the food has been frozen, turn the freezer switch back to the normal setting (the yel- low light will turn off).

Important: .Remember to carry out this last step in order to save energy.

-For the best conservation and defrosting, remember to freeze small portions; this will ensure rapid and uniform freezing. Mark the freezing date and description of the contents on the package, as shown in the table.

-In the case of power failure or breakdown, do not open the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9-14 hours.

-Do not store full bottles in the freezer since they could explode when they freeze. (Remember that liquids increase in volume when frozen).

-Fill the ice trays so that they are no more than 3/4 full.

Preservation of Foodstuffs

To preserve frozen and deep-frozen foods well, never set the thermostat below 1, no matter what the room tempe- rature is.

For room temperatures from 25°C to 27°C the knob should be set between 1 and 2 while for room temperatures of up to 32°C, set between 2 and 3.

The maximum storage times for frozen foods are indicated in the tables “Guide for using the freezer.

Always follow the instructions on the packages of deep frozen foods carefully and if there are no instructions neverkeep the food for more than 3 months from the date of purchase.

When buying deep-frozen foods, ensure that they have been stored at appropriate temperatures and that the wrapping is intact.

To keep the quality of the deep-frozen food unlatered, transfer it to special containers and then place it inside the storage compartment as soon as possible.

If a packing shows signs of moisture and abnormal swelling, it has probably been stored at the wrong temperature and the contents have been spoiled.
