Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.

Store the fresh food evenly distributed in the first and second compartment or drawer from the top.

The maximum amount of food that can be frozen without adding other fresh food during 24 hours is specified on the rating plate (a label located inside the appliance).

When the freezing process is complete, the appliance returns to the previously set temperature. Refer to "Super Freezing function".

For more information refer to the "Hints for freezing" section.

Storage of frozen food

The freezer drawers ensure that it is quick and easy to find the food package you want. If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and place the food on the shelves. Leave the bottom drawer in place to ensure good air circulation.

AEG TC3NS181ES - Storage of frozen food - 1

CAUTION!

In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer than the value shown on rating plate under "rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately then cooled and then re-frozen.

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.

HINTS AND TIPS

Hints for energy saving

  • Freezer: The internal configuration of the appliance is the one that ensures the most efficient use of energy.
  • Fridge: Most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers in the bottom part of the appliance and shelves evenly distributed. Position of the door bins does not affect energy consumption.
  • Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than necessary.
  • Freezer: The colder the temperature setting, the higher the energy consumption.
  • Fridge: Do not set too high temperature to save energy unless it is required by the characteristics of the food.
  • If the ambient temperature is high and the temperature control is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice

formation on the evaporator. In this case, set the temperature control toward higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and to save energy this way.

- Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover the ventilation grilles or holes.

Hints for freezing

  • Before freezing wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, plastic film or bags, airtight containers with lid.
  • For more efficient freezing and thawing divide food into small portions.
  • It is recommended to put labels and dates on all your frozen food. This will help to identify foods and to know when they should be used before their deterioration.
  • The food should be fresh when being frozen to preserve good quality. Especially fruits and vegetables should be frozen after the harvest to preserve all of their nutrients.
  • Do not freeze bottles or cans with liquids, in particular drinks containing carbon

dioxide - they may explode during freezing.

  • Do not put hot food in the freezer compartment. Cool it down at room temperature before placing it inside the compartment.
  • To avoid increase in temperature of already frozen food, do not place fresh unfrozen food directly next to it. Place food at room temperature in the part of the freezer compartment where there is no frozen food.
  • Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.
  • Do not re-freeze defrosted food. If the food has defrosted, cook it, cool it down and then freeze it.

Hints for storage of frozen food

  • Freezer compartment is the one marked with ✱***
  • Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life.
  • The whole freezer compartment is suitable for storage of frozen food products.
  • Leave enough space around the food to allow air to circulate freely.
  • For adequate storage refer to food packaging label to see the shelf life of food.
  • It is important to wrap the food in such a way that prevents water, humidity or condensation from getting inside.

Shopping tips

After grocery shopping:

  • Ensure that the packaging is not damaged - the food could be deteriorated. If the package is swollen or wet, it might have not been stored in the optimal conditions and defrosting may have already started.
  • To limit the defrosting process buy frozen goods at the end of your grocery shopping and transport them in a thermal and insulated cool bag.
  • Place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer after coming back from the shop.
  • If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume it as soon as possible.
  • Respect the expiry date and the storage information on the package.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

  • Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life of food.
  • Cover the food with packaging to preserve its freshness and aroma.
    • Always use closed containers for liquids and for food, to avoid flavours or odours in the compartment.
  • To avoid the cross-contamination between cooked and raw food, cover the cooked food and separate it from the raw one.
  • It is recommended to defrost the food inside the fridge.
  • Do not insert hot food inside the appliance. Make sure it has cooled down at room temperature before inserting it.
  • Dry the fruits and vegetables before placing them in the fridge compartment.

- To prevent food waste the new stock of food should always be placed behind the old one.

Hints for food refrigeration

  • Fresh food compartment is the one marked (on the rating plate) with
  • Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly (eliminate the soil) and place in a special drawer (vegetable drawer).
  • It is advisable not to keep the exotic fruits like bananas, mangos, papayas etc. in the refrigerator.

• Vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and garlic should not be kept in the refrigerator.
- Butter and cheese: place in an airtight container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible.
- Bottles: close them with a cap and place them on the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack.
• Always refer to the expiry date of the products to know how long to keep them.

CAUTION!

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it.

Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

① About 12 hours prior to defrosting set a lower temperature in order to build up sufficient chill reserve in case of any interruption in operation.

Defrost the freezer compartment when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

To defrost freezer compartment:

  1. Switch off the appliance or pull out electrical plug from the wall socket.
  2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place.

CAUTION!

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their safe storage life. Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.

  1. Leave the door open. Protect the floor from the defrosting water e.g. with a cloth or a flat vessel.
  2. In order to speed up the defrosting process, place a pot of warm water in the

freezer compartment. In addition, remove pieces of ice that break away before defrosting is complete.

  1. When defrosting is complete, dry the interior thoroughly.
  2. Switch on the appliance and close the door.
  3. Set the temperature regulator to obtain the maximum coldness and run the appliance for three hours using this setting.
