FREEZING FRESH FOOD
•
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and for the long-term storage of
frozen and deep-frozen food.
•
Place the fresh food you want to freeze in the freezer compartment.
•
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen within 24 hours is indicated on the type plate.
•
The freezing process takes 24 hours: No other food should be frozen during this time.
STORING FROZEN FOOD
When using the appliance for the first time or after an extended period of non-use, allow the
appliance to run on the highest setting for at least 2 hours before placing food in the compartment.
Important note!
In case of accidental defrosting, e.g. if the power has been switched off for longer
than the value indicated in the table of technical characteristics under "Defrosting time", the
defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooking).
DEFROSTING
Deep-frozen or frozen food can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room temperature
before use, depending on how much time is available for this process.
Small pieces can even be cooked while still frozen, straight from the freezer. In this case, cooking
will take longer.
