Tricity Bendix TBUF 100 installation instructions Frozen food storage, Freezing calendar

The quick-freezing function can be ended manually at any time by pressing the button ➃ again. The yellow light goes out.

This time can be shortened, depending on the quantity of food to be frozen.

After the time has elapsed place the food to be frozen in the appliance's two top compartments; if freezing only a small amount of food, use the top compartment.

Once the food is completely frozen (which could take up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze button to the «OFF» position; the yellow light ➂ goes off.

Distribute the frozen food packages in the other compartments, so that the top compartments can be used for a further freezing operation.

Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned foodstuffs.

Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is already frozen.

During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer door remains closed.

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 «fast freeze» mode before storing frozen food.

To obtain the best performance from this appliance, we strongly recommend that you make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer and, furthermore, be sure that these frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the appliance in the shortest possible time (a temperature increase of the frozen food could shorten its storage period).

To remove the drawers, proceed as follows: pull the drawer out until it comes to a stop, then tilt it upwards (see figure).

It is also advisable not to exceed the storage period indicated by the producer of the food.

Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary.

Important

Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the freezer.

Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can possibly result in 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 "frost/freezer burns".

If there is a power failure do not open the door during the whole time of the power failure. If the freezer is fully loaded, the frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration; otherwise, it is recommended to consume the food within a very short time.

Important

In the event of a power failure causing the temperature within your freezer to rise, do not re-freeze the food without checking its condition.

The following guidelines should assist you: Ice-cream:once thawed should be discarded. Fruits & Vegetables: if soft should be cooked and used up.

Breads & Cakes: can be re-frozen without danger.

Shellfish: should be refrigerated and used up quickly.

Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be refrigerated and used up.

Large Pieces of Meat: can be re-frozen providing there are still ice crystals remaining within them.

Small Joints: should be cooked and can then be re-frozen as cooked dishes.

Chicken: should also be cooked and re-frozen as a cooked dish.
