FREEZER COMPARTMENT
SETTING
The temperature in this compartment can be freely adjusted between �15°C and �24°C. The setting is adjusted in the same way as for the refrigerator compartment, but using button (E). The temperature setting is then shown by indicator (D). The indicator starts at �15°C and progressively goes down to �24°C, i.e. the temperature setting gets colder and colder. Here too, if the button is held in, the indicator will start cycling again from �15°C. It is also advisable to check that external packaging is intact: swollen packs or traces of re-frozen water droplets on the pack are a sure sign that the product has not always been kept at a suitably low temperature and that it may have lost its original quality. Never exceed the storage times indicated on packs. Do not open the freezer door too often and do not leave open longer than necessary for loading or removing food. Never re-freeze partially thawed food. Food which has accidentally thawed must be checked for smell, taste and colour and, if these seem normal, must be consumed within 24 hours or thoroughly cooked before re-freezing. A special card is located in the holder on the inner door of the freezer compartment. At the top, there are pictures of animals and various types of food, followed by a �gure. These �gures indicate the maximum storage time, from the date on which the food was frozen. Details of food being stored, can also be written in pencil on the lower part of the card.
Semi-automatic fast freezing
To freeze fresh food when the freezer is already in use with food inside it, proceed as follows: Press button (F) for at least 5 seconds; freezer temperature indicator (D) will show the letters SU to indicate that this function is active. Place the food to be frozen in one of the drawers, preferably an empty drawer to avoid raising the temperature of already frozen food. For items weighing up to 3 kg, press button (F) for at least 5 seconds and at the same time place food in the top drawer. For items weighing between 3 and 9 kg, press button (F) for at least 5 seconds 3 hours before placing food in the bottom drawer. For items weighing between 9 and 11 kg, press button (F) for at least 5 seconds 5 hours before placing food in the top and bottom drawers. The fast freeze function stays active for 27 hours and is then automatically switched off, returning the freezer to its previous setting. Fast freeze can be switched off at any time by pressing button (F) for a further 5 seconds. To freeze fresh food immediately after installing and switching on the appliance, or after having cleaned it, proceed as follows: 1. Press button (F) for at least 5 seconds to activate the fast freeze function. 2. Allow the appliance to run empty for at least 6 hours. 3. Place food to be frozen in the appropriate compartment.
Thawing Food
Food can be thawed in various ways, depending on the type of food, pack size and required use: At room temperature. In the refrigerator compartment of the appliance. In a convection (fan) oven. In a microwawe oven. In a steam cooker. Important In the event of a power failure and the temperature within your freezer rising above �6°C, do not refreeze 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 & cake: Can be re-frozen without danger. Shell�sh: 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 refrozen as cooked dishes. Chicken: Should also be cooked and re-frozen as a cooked dish.
Storing ready-frozen food
Packs of ready-frozen food may be placed in any of the drawers according to the space available. You are strongly advised to place ready-frozen food in the freezer compartment as quickly as possible after purchase, so as to limit any rise in temperature.
