Practical advice on freezing

·When freezing products, use the top shelves.

-When freezing large amounts of food/provisions, the accumulator moves to on top of the food.

-Do not cover the air hole on the rear wall.

·Spread out the products as much as possible to allow air to circulate between them.

·Do not place food products which are to be frozen directly against other frozen food. The heat from the unfrozen food may cause the frozen food to thaw on the surface.

·Once frozen, re-arrange the products and put them as close as possible to each other.

The food will then stay cold longer in the event of a power failure.

·Do not freeze too much food at the same time. The freezing capacity of the unit is indicated in the specifications section.

Suitable storage periods

Food purchased in frozen condition: Follow the advice on the maximum storage period indicated on the packaging.

Fresh food frozen at home:

Fatty and salty food should not be kept frozen for more than three months. Cooked food and low-fat food may be kept up to about six months. Lean food and berries can be kept for approximately one year.

	ACTION FREEZE

Check that the cabinet is operating and keeps the set temperature one day after switching it on for the first time. Only after then should the freezer be used to freeze fresh foodstuff.

Thawing

It is best to thaw foods in the refrigerator. Place the foodstuff on a plate with a raised edge to prevent liquids from running out. Easily thawed foods can be placed in room temperature or in cold water. When using a microwave oven to thaw foodstuff, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
