Useful hints for freezing

¥ Products to be frozen should be fresie and clean.

¥ Pack foods in suitable family portions which can

be used up all at once.

¥ Small packs allow fast and uniform freezing.

¥ Lean foods keep better and longer than fatty

foods. Salt reduces the storage life of food.

¥ Wrap foods closely in aluminium foil or plastic

bags or flim, and make sure they are properly sealed.

¥ Attach a label to each pack, indicating the

contents and the date on which it was prepared.

¥ Never piace hot foods, bottles or containers with

fizy drinks in the freezer (they could explode).

¥ Do not fili containers with lids right to the brim.

¥ Do not add more food or open the doors during

the freezing process.

¥ Never piace food to be frozen in contact with

already frozen food, as this would increase the temperature of the latter.

Storing frozen foods

After having started up the freezer, select the fast freeze function (knob F to position ÇSÈ) at least 3 hours before loading frozen food. Then return the knob to the normal storage temperature (knob F to the mid position).

There are no particular problema in storing frozen foods. Packs may be placed next to or on top of each other.

When buying frozen foods, get them home and into your freezer as quickly as possible. Packs which are damaged or show traces of moisture indicate that the product has not been stored at the correct temperature and that the food may trave lost its original quality.

Partially defrosted foods must never be re-frozen and must be consumed as quickly as possible. Never consume products after the date shown on the pack.

In the event of a short power cut, foods will not be affected, but you should avoid opening the appliance doors.

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 Òrising timeÓ, the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooling).

Thawing food

Foods may be thawed in various ways, depending on their type and the size of pack.

Meat, fish and fruit may be thawed in the refrigerator compartment. Small pieces of meat may be cooked from frozen. Vegetables thaw immediately in boiling water. Pre-cooked dishes may be re-heated directly in the oven in their container. Microwave ovens are particularly suitable for defrosting all types of frozen food. Follow the instructions supplied with the oven.

Ice cube maker

Fill the ice cube trays to no more than 3/4 of their depth, to allow for expansion of the ice.

To remove the ice cubes, simply turn the knob fully as shown in Fig.

Height adjustment

The height of the appliance is adjustable from 820 to 870 mm to fine up with existing kitchen units.

Before installing the appliance between unite, adjust the height of the feet and rear wheels. The wheels are factory set for a height of 820 mm. To align the appliance to a height of 870 mm, raise it by adjusting the feet with a spanner, then remove the wheels and refit them in the lowest position.

Fitting the side panels

¥ Fit the brackets onto the panels in the positions

shown in the diagram. The dimension of 132 mm is allowed for fitting a 100 mm plinth below the panel. For different plinth sizes, reduce or increase the dimension of 132 mm accordingly.

¥ Rest the panels against the appliance.

¥ Fit the rear brackets, taking into account the

thickness of the panels (maximum width of unit 900 mm).

¥ Secure the panels at the front. If using panels

less than 20 mm thick, fit spacŽr plates A, supplied with the appliance, on the hinge side.
