We suggest setting the internal temperature of approximately -18°C, which guarantees proper freezing and conservation of the frozen foods.

Attention!

During the stability period by the first starting the temperature displayed can not correspond to the setting temperature. During this time it is possible that the temperature displayed is different than the setting temperature.

Attention!

Difference between the temperature displayed and temperature setting is normal. Especially when:

•a new setting has recently been selected

•the door has been left open for a long time

•warm food has been placed in the compartment

Difference until 5°C inside the

compartment are quite normal.

During normal functioning the indicator shows the warmest temperature inside the compartment.

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 12 hours. To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:

if large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and baskets from appliance and place food on cooling shelves.

Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated on the side of the upper

section (where applicable) .

Important

In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer that the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooling).

Excessive temperature alarm

An increase in the temperature in a compartment (for example due to an power failure)

is indicated by:

1 - 2	3 - 4	3 - 6	3 - 6	3 - 6		3 - 6 10 -12 10 -12 10 -12 10 -12

The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing.

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.

drawer

HINTS

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:

•the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;

•the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period;

•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;

•water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;

•it is advisable to show the freezingin date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time;

•do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks, etc.) in the freezer compartment as they may burst.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:

•make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer;

•be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible time;
