Freezing And Storage - AEG Electrolux AU 86055-6I Gebrauchsanweisung

Freezing and storage

• To quick-freeze foods when the appliance has not been in use, switch
on the freezer and let it run on the quick-freeze setting for at least
three hours before putting the food to be frozen in the compartment.
• If instead the appliance is already in operation, it should run on the
quick-freeze setting for at least 24 hours before the food is put in the
freezer.
• Once the food has been placed in the freezer, the freezing operation
can be considered to be complete 24 hours later. Once freezing is
complete, the freezer should be reset to normal storage use.
• Food to be frozen has to be placed in the appliance's lower compar-
tment.
• The maximum amount of food which is freezable in 24 hours is in-
dicated on the rating plate.
• Thanks to the NO FROST technology, freezing is quicker and this allows
thawed food to keep their original features, vitamin content and fla-
vour unaltered.
• Split food into small portions to speed up freezing and avoid having to
thaw more food than you require.
• Wrap the foods in foil or polythene film, ensuring that the wrapping
adheres closely to the food and is well sealed.
• You should never freeze all at once a greater quantity of foods than the
maximum indicated on the applianceís rating plate.
• During the freezing process, do not add further food for freezing and
do not open the freezer door.
• The food for freezing should not be placed in contact with already fro-
zen food. This will prevent the temperature of already frozen food from
rising.
