HOW TO OPERATE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
.
The freezer is a star compartment.
This compartment can be used to store frozen
foods for the period of time indicated on
packaging. The freezer can also be used to
freeze fresh food by positioning it on the rack;
place frozen food in the lower part of the
compartment so that there is no contact with
fresh food that has yet to be frozen.
The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen
in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate.
Important:
Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in:
aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight
plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or
freezer containers suitable for freezing fresh
food.
In the event of a power cut, the freezer
compartment will maintain a sufficiently low
temperature for food storage. However, it is
advisable to avoid opening the compartment
door during such periods.
Important:MONTHSFOOD
The table alongside shows the recommended
maximum storage time for frozen fresh foods.
When purchasing frozen food products:
Ensure that the packaging is not damaged
(frozen food in damaged packaging may
have deteriorated). If the package is swollen
or has damp patches, it may not have been
stored under optimal conditions and
defrosting may have already begun.
When shopping, leave frozen food
purchases until last and transport the
products in a thermally insulated cool bag.
Place the items in the freezer compartment
as soon as you get home.
If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-
freeze it. Consume within 24 hours.
Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to
the minimum. Respect the best-before date
on the package.
Always observe the storage information on
the package.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 with water and place
it at the bottom of the freezer compartment.
Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to
detach the tray if it is stuck to the
compartment bottom.
