First use

Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap so as to remove the typical smell of a brand new product, then dry thoroughly. Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive powders, as these will damage the finish.

Freezing fresh food

- The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time. - Place the fresh food to be frozen in the bottom compartment. - The maximum amount of food 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. The combination of the drawers, baskets and shelves shown in the device description is optimal for efficient energy savings. Changing the combination proposition could alter the efficiency.

Daily Use

Storing frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the product in the compartment, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the lowest temperature. 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). 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.
Food Storage time
Bacon, casseroles, milk 1 month
Bread, ice cream, sausages, pies, prepared shellfish, oily fish2 months
Non-oily fish, shellfish, pizza, scones and muffins3 months
Ham, cakes, biscuits, beef and lamb chops, poultry pieces4 months
Butter, vegetables (blanched), eggs whale and yolks, cooked crayfish, minced meat (raw), pork (raw)6 months
Fruit (dry ar in syrup), egg whites, beef (raw), whole chicken, lamb (raw), fruit cakes12 months

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.

Daily Use

Helpful hints and tips

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 hours. 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 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

Ta 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 re-frozen; - do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacture
