Storing in the freezer

1.To achieve faster freezing of food or to freeze the maximum allowed quanti- ty, depress the ambient switch 12 hours before loading the food without modifying the thermostat setting.

2.Place the food to be frozen in the top drawer.

3.Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.

The freezing tray is suitable for freezing smaller fruits (raspberries, strawberries, currants, etc).

Fruits should be put in the tray in thin layers without packaging. After freezing they can be packed and sorted out then placed into the stor- ing compartments.

It is practical to replace frozen products into the basket(s) after freezing has finished. Doing this you could make room in the freezing compartment for another freezing. Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods already stored.

If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the baskets except the low- ermost one from appliance and place food on the cooling surface.

Do not forget to keep to the storage time given on the packaging of frozen products if you buy them frozen. To store home-frozen products see the stor- ing instructions placed in the door of the freezer. Symbols signify the various foods, numbers mean maximum storing time given in months.

It is safe to store quick-frozen and frozen foods only if they have not dis- solved even for a short time until placing them into the freezer. If the deep- frozen food has already dissolved, refreezing is not recommended, it has to be used up as soon as possible.
