Electrolux JCN 44181 manual Storage of frozen food, Thawing, Cold accumulator, Ice-cube production

Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run for at least two hours on the coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the normal operating position.

Important

If there is a power failure when

food is in the freezer, do not open the door of the freezer compartment. The frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration (up to 6-8 hours) and the freezer compartment is full, otherwise, it is recommended that the food should be used within a short time (a temperature increase of the frozen food shortens its safe storage period).

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.

Cold accumulator

The freezer contains one or more cold accumulators which increases storage times in the event of a power cut or breakdown. These are located in the upper compartment.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice- cubes. Fill these trays with water, then put them in the freezer compartment.

Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.
