Freezing Foods Properly

For the preparation of food to be frozen, please con- sult a specialized manual.

Food that has been thawed, even partially, must not be re- frozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24 hours) or to freeze it once again.

When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods.

The first time or after the freezer has been inactive, you can only freeze food after having let the appliance function at maximum.

Freezing can be done in two ways:

- 24 HOURS FAST FREEZING

For small quantities of food, less than the maximum capacity indicated on the data plate, enable the SUPER FREEZE function in the “24 hour” mode by pressing the button until the yellow lamp “C” lights on and insert the food to be frozen. After 24 hours, or once the optimum temperatures have been reached, the rapid freezing function is automatically disabled.

- 48 HOURS FAST FREEZING

For large quantities of food to be frozen (up until the maximum load indicated on the data plate), enable SUPER FREEZE function in the “48 hours” mode. We recommend you to enable this function 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in. Please keep pressing the fast freezing button until the yellow lamp “C” begins to flash. After 24

hours, the yellow lamp will stop flashing and go back to being permanently lit; you can now insert the food to be frozen. After another 24 hours, the function will be disabled automatically.

During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the freezer.

The maximum daily quantity of food that can be frozen is indicated on the rating plate located to the left of the veg- etable crisper.

In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is rec- ommended that you divide food into small portions so that they freeze quickly and uniformly. The packages should be clearly marked with the content and the date they were frozen.

Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power failure or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in tem- perature within the compartment. If the door is not opened, frozen and fast-frozen foods will remain in their current state for approximately 9-14 hours.

Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze.

WARNING: to avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer compartment, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or containers.
