Frozen food storage
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least two hours in the Ç fast freezeÈ mode before storing frozen food.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Warning
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the freezer compartment.
Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can cause a low temperature skin burn.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or Òfrost/freezer burnsÓ.
In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and the freezer is full. Do not open the door . Should the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must not be
Thawing
Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature depending on the time available. Small food items may even be cooked from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen.
Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.
Making ice cubes
The appliance is provided with one or more plastic ice cube trays.
Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expand and place them in one of the freezer compartment.
To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight twist. Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.
