GETTING YOUR APPLIANCE READY FOR USE
NOTICE
After the appliance has been delivered, leave it to stand
in its upright position for approximately 3 hours, be-
fore plugging it into the mains and switching on, to
ensure proper performance.
Use these average temperature settings to ensure
optimum performance and save energy.
Before placing food in the freezer, clean the interior well
with warm water and baking soda.
After plugging the appliance into the socket, make sure that
the green light is on - turn on the yellow light.
When the red light goes off - turn off the yellow light.
The appliance is now ready for use.
How to use your freezer
Freezing
- For the preparation of food to be frozen, please con-
sult a specialized manual.
- In order to freeze fresh food, turn the switch to the left - to
turn on the yellow light.
- When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not
touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place
the fresh food, that you wish to freeze, in the top compart-
ment where the temperature will fall below 18°C, ideal for
freezing food properly.
- Proper conservation depends on the speed with which food
is frozen.
For this reason we recommend that the switch be
turned on to the freeze setting (the yellow light will
come on) 24 hours before the food to be frozen is placed
in the freezer. This operation is necessary for large
quantities of food (up to the maximum capacity, as
indicated on the rating plate).
- During the freezing process, avoid opening the door.
- If a large amount of food is introduced for freezing at one
time, the internal freezer temperature may momentarily
increase and the red light will come on. When the compart-
ment returns to the correct temperature, the red light will go
out, preservation of foods stored is not affected.
- IMPORTANT: Remember to turn off the yellow light after
24 hours as freezing will be completed. This will save
energy.
- Food that has thawed, even partially, must not be re-frozen:
you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24 hours) or to
freeze it once again.
- In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is recom-
mended that you divide food into small portions so that they
freeze quickly and uniformly. The packages should be clearly
marked with the content and the date they were frozen.
- Do not open the door in the event of a power failure or
malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in temperature
within the compartment. If the door is not opened, frozen and
fast-frozen foods will remain in their current state for approxi-
mately 9-14 hours.
- Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily
burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze.
Food Preservation
- To preserve frozen and deep frozen food well, never set the
temperature control below 1, no matter what the room
temperature is.
For room temperatures from 25°C to 27°C the temperature
control should be set between 1 and 2.
For room temperatures of up to 32°C set the control
between 2 and 3.
Maximum storage times for frozen foods are indicated in the
tables, see 'FOOD STORAGE'.
- Always follow the instructions on the packages of deep
frozen foods carefully - if there are no instructions, never
keep the food for more than 3 months from the date of
purchase.
- When buying deep frozen foods, ensure that they have
been stored at appropriate temperatures and that the pack-
aging is intact. If a package shows signs of moisture or
abnormal swelling, it has probably been stored at the wrong
temperature and the contents have been spoiled.
- To maintain the quality of the deep frozen food, transport
them in appropriate containers to keep them cold and then
place them inside the freezer as soon as possible.
