Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this appliance,

you should:

¥ make sure that the commercially frozen

foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer;

¥ be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred

from the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest

possible time;

¥ not open the door frequently or leave it open

longer than absolutely necessary.

¥ Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and

cannot be refrozen.

¥ Do not exceed the storage period indicated by

the food manufacturer.

¥ 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.

¥ do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks,

etc.) in the freezer compartment as they may

burst.

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing process,

here are some important hints:

¥ the maximum quantity of food which can be

frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;

¥ the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further

food to be frozen should be added during this

period;

¥ only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly

cleaned, foodstuffs;

¥ prepare food in small portions to enable it to be

rapidly and completely frozen and to make it

possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity

required;

¥ wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene

and make sure that the packages are airtight;

¥ do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food

which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in

temperature of the latter;

¥ lean foods store better and longer than fatty

ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;

¥ water ices, if consumed immediately after

removal from the freezer compartment, can

possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;

¥ it is advisable to show the freezing-in date on

each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of

the storage time;

HINTS

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.

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.

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 fast

freeze 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).

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods,

take the following precautions:

remove the plug from the wall socket;

remove all food;

defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;

leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate to prevent

unpleasant smells.

D068

Periodic cleaning

Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of

soda.

Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the

compressor at the back of the appliance with a

brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation will

improve the performance of the appliance and save

electricity consumption.

Defrosting

The freezer compartment, however, will become

progressively covered with frost. This should be

removed with the special plastic scraper provided,

whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm.

During this operation it is not necessary to switch off

the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.

However, when the ice becomes very thick on the

inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out

and it is advisable to carry out this operation when

the appliance is empty.

To carry out complete defrosting of the freezer

compartment proceed as follows:

1. pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the

thermostat knob to the Ç■È setting;

2. remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers

of newspaper and put it in a cool place;

3. leave the door open, insert the plastic scraper in

the appropriate seating at the bottom centre,

placing a basin underneath to collect the defrost

water;

4. when defrosting is completed, dry the interior

thoroughly and refit the plug; keep the scraper for

future use;

5. turn the thermostat knob back to the required

setting or replace the plug in the power socket.

After letting the appliance run for at least half an

hour, replace the previously removed food into

the compartment.

Important:

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost

from the evaporator as you could damage it.

Do not use a maechanical device or any artificial

means to speed up the thawing process other

than those recommended by the manufacturer.

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs,

during defrosting, may shorten their safe

storage life. s
