Freezing fresh food

In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 9 kg of fresh food.

Activate fast freeze by depressing the fast-freeze button (4) - for more than one second - 24 hours before you want to freeze your fresh food, the yellow light (3) illuminates. 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 bottom drawer of the freezer as this is the coldest part.

You should never freeze more than 13 Kg. of fresh food at anyone time.

Once the food is completely frozen (which could take up to 24 hours) the fast freeze function can be ended manually by depressing the button (4) again for more than one second. The yellow light goes out. If the fast freeze function is not ended manually, the appliance electronics switch off the fast freeze function after 48 hours. The yellow light (3) goes out.

Distribute the frozen food packages in the other compartments, so that the bottom drawer 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.

Because freezing is faster with frost free technology, once food is defrosted, it retains all of its original texture, vitamins and taste.

In the event of a power failure the appliance automatically starts again in fast freeze mode. If the fast freeze function is not ended manually, the appliance electronics switch off the fast freeze function after 5 hours. The yellow light (3) goes out.

Important

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

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 during the storage of frozen food, 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.

Freezing calendar

The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods.

The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre- treating before freezing.

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 Çfast freezeÈ mode before storing frozen food.

To obtain the best performance from this appliance, we suggest that all of the internal drawers are utilized.

Moreover, 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 consumer in the shortest possible time (a temperature increase of the frozen food could shorten its storage period).

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

To ensure the correct functioning of the appliance, no foodstuffs should be stored directly against the fan blade.

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

Thawing

Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature depending on the time available. Small food items may even be cooked from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer. Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen.

Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.
