- The appliance may not operate altha correct temperature if it is in a particularly hot or if you open the door often.
Position different food in different compartments according to be below table.
| Refrigerator compartments | Type of food |
| Freezer drawer(s)/shelf | • Foods for long ‑term storage.• Bottom drawer/shelf for raw meat, poultry, fish.• Middle drawer/shelf for frozen vegetables, chips.• Top drawer/shelf for ice cream, frozen fruit, frozen baked goods. |
Freezing fresh food
- The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deepfrozen food for a long time.
- Place the fresh food to be frozen in the bottom compartment.
- The maximum amountoffood that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate.
- The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.
ThawingDeepfrozen or frozsn food, prior to be used, can be thawed in the fridge compartment or at room tampereture, depending on the time available for this oparation. Small piecas may avan ba cooked still frozen, directly from tha freezer. In this casa, cooking will take longar.
Ice cubeThis appliance may be equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice cubes.
Helpful hints and tipsHints for freezingTo 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 sura 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 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.
Storing frozen food
When first startingup or after a period out of use efore putting the product in the compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.
IMPORTANT!
In the event of accidental defrosting, for example the power has been off for longer than the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under “rising time”, the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooked).
