∙ To ensure suffi cient distribution of
cold air, keep a minimum distance
of 3 cm between the vapouriser
assembly and the tray containing
the food to be frozen.
∙ Do not allow unfrozen food to
come into contact with food that is
already frozen.
∙ Caution: Do not exceed the maximum freezing capacity
per day. The product data sheet at the end of this manual
contains details of the maximum daily freezing capacity.
∙ For quick-freezing, set the temperature control to Max. After
24 hours, once the food is well frozen, the temperature
control can be set back to its original position.
∙ The time required to freeze food may be shortened by
dividing it into smaller portions.
∙ Suitable packaging materials for frozen food are transparent
(i.e. non-coloured) plastic wrap or bags, or aluminium foil.
The packaging materials should be well aired before use;
check that the package is air-tight before freezing the food.
We strongly recommend that you label every item stored in
the freezer with all relevant information such as type of food,
freezing date and use-by date.
∙ Do not attempt to deep-freeze carbonated beverages, warm
food or any kind of bottled liquids.
∙ Frozen food can be defrosted in the refrigerator. This way,
the food is defrosted at a slower rate, retaining its taste.
Furthermore, the frozen food helps to keep the temperature
inside the refrigerator at its intended level.
Use-by dates for frozen food are specifi ed (in months) in
the table below.
∙ Do not exceed these storage times.
∙ However, always observe the manufacturer's use-by dates
for the frozen food.
∙ If the unit remains switched off for an extended period (eg
during a power failure), the door should be kept closed;
this will help to maintain the lowest possible temperature
in the cabinet. The product data sheet contains detailed
information of the maximum safe storage time in case of
malfunction. Even a slight rise in the inside temperature will
shorten the storage life of the food.

Freezer tray
The freezer tray allows for gentle freezing of delicate foods
such as herbs and fruit, while preventing them from sticking
together. Place the goods to be frozen onto the tray individually
and freeze them. After 8-10 hours, remove the frozen items and
put them into suitable containers.
Making ice cubes
A special ice-cube tray is provided for making ice cubes. Fill
the tray up to ¾ with drinking water and place it in the freezer
compartment for a few hours. The ice cubes are easier
to remove from the tray if the tray is left standing at room
temperature for 5 minutes.

increase in temperature, the storage life will be shortened
and the food should be used as soon as possible.
