Freezing food

The freezing area is marked with symbol on the door liner.

You can use the appliance for freezing fresh food as well as for storing pre-frozen food. Please refer to the recommendations given on the packaging of your food.

Attention

Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle may burst when the liquid in it is frozen.

Be careful with frozen products such as coloured ice-cubes.

Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 hours. See the rating label. In order to maintain the quality of the food, the freezing must be effected as rapidly as possible.

Thus, the freezing capacity will not be exceeded, and the temperature inside the freezer will not rise.

Attention

Keep the already deep-frozen food always separated with freshly placed food.

When deep-freezing hot food, the cooling compressor will work until the food is completely frozen. This can temporarily cause excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.

If you find the freezer door difficult to open just after you have closed it, don’t worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalize and allow the door to open normally after a few minutes.

You will hear a vacuum sound just after closing the door. This is quite normal.

Making ice cubes

Fill the ice-cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the freezer. (Fig. 3)

As soon as the water has turned into ice, you can take out the ice cubes.

Never use sharp objects such as knives or forks to remove the ice cubes. There is a risk of injury!

Let the ice cubes slightly thaw instead, or put the bottom of the tray in hot water for a short moment.

Fast freeze

If large amounts of fresh food are going to be frozen, push the fast freeze switch 24 hours before putting the fresh food in the fast freeze compartment.

It is strongly recommended to keep fast freeze switch on at least 24 hours to freeze maximum amount of fresh food declared as freezing capacity. Take special care not to mix frozen food and fresh food.

Defrosting of the appliance

Excessive build-up of ice will affect the freezing performance of your appliance.

It is therefore recommended that you defrost your appliance at least twice a year, or whenever the ice build-up exceeds 7 mm. Defrost your appliance when there is only little or no food in it.

Take out the deep-frozen food from the drawers. Wrap the deep-frozen food in several layers of paper, or a blanket, and keep it in a cold place.

Unplug the appliance or switch off the circuit breaker to start the defrosting process. Take out the accessories (like shelf, drawer etc.) from the appliance (Fig. 4) and use a suitable container to collect the thawing water.
