Freezing Fresh Food; Storage Of Frozen Food; Ice-Cube Production - Novamatic EKI6014NF Benutzerhandbuch

When the ventilation slots are closed:
the natural moisture content of the food in
the fruit and vegetable compartments is
preserved for longer.
When the ventilation slots are opened:
more air circulation results in a lower air
moisture content in the fruit and vegetable
compartments.

Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the FastFreeze
function and place the food to be frozen in
the freezer compartment.
To freeze fresh food activate the FastFreeze
function at least 24 hours before placing the
food to be frozen in the freezer
compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the top
compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating
plate, a label located on the inside of the
appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during
this period do not add other food to be
frozen.
When the freezing process is completed,
return to the required temperature (see
"FastFreeze Function").
In this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might
drop below 0°C. If this occurs
reset the temperature regulator
to a warmer setting.

Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least
2 hours on the higher settings.
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 in the technical
characteristics chart under
"rising time", the defrosted food
must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then
re-frozen (after cooling).
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.

more trays for the production of ice-cubes.
Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the trays from the
freezer.
