Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing
fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen
food for a long time.
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen
in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this
period do not add other food to be frozen.
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 at least 24
hours Temperature Regulator to the Full Loaded
position.
CAUTION!
In the event of accidental defrosting,
for example due to a power failure, if
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 cooling).
Opening and closing the lid
CAUTION!
Never pull the handle with immense
force.
As the lid is equipped with a tightly closing seal,
it is not easy to reopen it shortly after closing
Hints and tips
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some hints:
• The maximum quantity of food which can be
frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating
plate.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No
further food to be frozen should be added
during this period.
• Freeze only top quality, fresh and thoroughly
cleaned foodstuffs.

The following picture shows how many baskets
can be placed inside the freezer.
The baskets will slide into each other.
You can purchase additional baskets from your
local Service Centre.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to
be rapidly and completely frozen and to
make it possible subsequently to thaw only
the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or
polythene and make sure that the packages
are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch
food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a
rise in temperature of the latter.
• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty
ones; salt reduces the storage life of food.
• Water ices, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer compartment, can
possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt.
