Daily Use
Use of the freezer compartment
The symbol ✕×××× means that the freezer is suitable for freezing fresh food and for long term storage. The temperature may be regulated between -15^ and -24^ . We suggest setting the temperature to -18^ , which is optimal for energy consumption and frozen food storage.
Important! At start-up the displayed temperature don't correspond with the set temperature until stabilised (within 24 hours).
Difference between the temperature displayed and temperature setting is normal. Especially when:
- a new setting has recently been selected
- the door has been left open for a long time
- warm food has been placed in the compartment.
Difference until 5^ C inside the compartment are quite normal.
During normal functioning the indicator shows the warmest temperature inside the compartment.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the com-
partment let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.
If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and baskets from appliance and place food on cooling shelves to obtain the best performance.

Warning! Make sure that foods do not exceed the load limit stated on the side of the upper section (where applicable)

Important! In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer that 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 cooling).

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 treating before freezing.
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.
Cold accumulators
The freezer contains at least one cold accumulator which increases storage time in the event of a power cut or breakdown.
Helpful Hints and Tips
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 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.
