Freezer Compartment

Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for long term
storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing
fresh food. To freeze fresh foods allow it to run on
the fast freeze setting for at least 24 hours before
loading food.
For quick-freezing, push the button (C). The super
control light (B) will then light up.
Place the food to be frozen in the upper
compartment.
In order to freeze the quantity indicated on the rating
plate, arrange the food directly in contact with the
cooling surfaces.
If the food is frozen in the baskets, the maximum
quantity freezable is slightly less.
The quick-freezing function can be ended manually
at any time by pressing the button (C) again. The
yellow light goes out.

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 for at least two hours on the fast
frost setting, then push again the Super-frost button.
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 refrozen (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.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays
for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with
water, then put them in the freezer compartment.
Do not use metallic instruments to remove the
trays from the freezer.
