Important:
In order to save energy, when freezing small
amounts of food, the fast freeze function can
be deactivated after a few hours.
Tips for freezing and storing fresh food.
• Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh
food in: aluminium foil, cling fi lm, air
and water-tight plastic bags, polythene
containers with lids or freezer containers
suitable for freezing fresh food.
• Food must be fresh, mature and of prime
quality in order to obtain high quality
frozen food.
• Fresh vegetables and fruit should
preferably be frozen as soon as they
are picked to maintain the full original
nutritional value, consistency, colour and
fl avour. Some meat, especially game,
should be hung before it is frozen.
Note:
• Always leave hot food to cool before
placing in the freezer.
• Eat fully or partially defrosted foods
immediately. Do not refreeze unless
the food is cooked after it has thawed.
Once cooked, the thawed food can be
refrozen.
Freezing and storing fresh food
• Place foods to be frozen in the baskets.
• Place the ice packs (if supplied) in
the space provided (on the last grid)
or above the food stored in the top
compartment.
Important:
The table alongside shows the
recommended maximum storage time for
frozen fresh foods.
Declared performance refers to appliance
operation without ice packs, with the
exception of the rising time.
Classifi cation of frozen foods
Put the frozen products into the freezer and
classify them.
The storage date should be indicated on the
packs, to allow use within expiry dates.
Advice for storing frozen food
When purchasing frozen food products:
• Ensure that the packaging is not
damaged (frozen food in damaged
packaging may have deteriorated). If
the package is swollen or has damp
patches, it may not have been stored
under optimal conditions and defrosting
may have already begun.
• When shopping, leave frozen food
purchases until last and transport the
products in a thermally insulated cool
bag.
• Once at home, place the frozen foods
immediately in the freezer.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do
not re-freeze it.
Consume within 24 hours.
• Avoid, or reduce temperature variations
to the minimum.
Respect the best-before date on the
package.
• Always observe the storage information
on the package.
Removing the baskets
• Pull the baskets out fully, then lift them
up slightly in order to remove.
Drawers (except the bottom drawer),
runners and the white grid (if provided) may
be removed in order to obtain increased
storage space (see fi gure).
