Freezing fresh food
• The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen
and deep-frozen food for a long time.
• Place the fresh food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
• The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the
rating plate.
• The freezing process lasts 2 4 hours: during this period do not add other food to
be frozen.
Storing frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the product in the
compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.
Important! In the event of accidental defrosting, for example 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 cooked).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be 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
This appliance may be equipped with one or more ice-cube to produce ice.
