Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.
In order to get bigger freezing capacity, please put fresh food into freezing compartment after you have started super freezing function for 26 hours.
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate.
The super freezing process lasts 52 hours.
Storing frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use. Before putting the product in the compartment let the appliance be set in super freezing mode.
Temperature setting recommendation: - 18°C is recommended.
Under recommended setting, the best storage time of freezer is no more than 1 month. The best storage time may reduce under other 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 re-frozen (after cooked).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be used, can be thawed in the freezer 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
This appliance may be equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes.
Helpful hints and tips
To help you make the most of the super 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 super freezing process that was set by software in appliance takes 26 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 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 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 food store 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 manufacture.
Position different food in different compartments according to be below:
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.
Cleaning
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly.
Caution! The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning turn the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner.
Moisture could accumulate in electrical components, danger of electrical shock! Hot vapors can lead to the damage of plastic parts. The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.
Important! Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or the juice form orange peel, butyric acid, cleanser that contain acetic acid. Do not allow such substances to come into contact the appliance parts.
Do not use any abrasive cleaners
Remove the food from the freezer. Store them in a cool place, well covered.
Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker of fuse.
Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.
Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption. For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. After everything is dry place appliance back into service.
Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out as follows:
- pull out the plug from the socket;
- remove all stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place;
- keep the door open, and placing a basin underneath of the appliance to collect the defrost water; when defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly
- replace the plug in the power socket to run the appliance again.
