Use of the freezer compartment

Temperature control

The temperature within the freezer is controlled by the thermostat situated at the top of the cabinet.

To operate the freezer proceed as follows:

Turn the thermostat control beyond the «

■» position.

When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you turn the thermostat control to a medium setting.

For easier turning of this control, use a small coin.The internal temperature of the freezer is automatically adjusted by the thermostat to ensure safe food storage.

However, if the appliance is working in unfavourable room conditions such as

- poor ventilation,

- high temperature,

- frequent door openings,

it may be necessary to select a more suitable setting.

To obtain a lower temperature, turn the thermostat control towards max; to obtain a higher temperature turn the control towards min.

Distribute the frozen food packages in the other compartments, so that the top compartments can be used for a further freezing operation.

- The food to be frozen must be fresh and of the best quality.

- Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is already frozen.

- During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer door remains closed.

Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for long term storage of commercially frozen food, and for freezing fresh food.

The maximum quantity of foods to freeze in 24 hours is shown on the serial number plate.

Place the foods you want to freeze on the shelf of the freezer compartment, as this is the coldest point.

To freeze fresh foods, you will need to activate the rapid freezing function. Press key C (several times if

necessary) until the corresponding icon appears

After a pre-cooling period of 24 hours, place the foods in the freezer.

The freezing process takes 24 hours. During this period do not put other foods in the freezer.

This function stops automatically after 54 hours.

Put the foods to be frozen in the upper compartment of the freezer, as this is the coldest location.

The function can be de-activated at any time by pressing key C (see paragraph "Activation of Functions").

Page 6

Normal Operating Sounds

• You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator.

• When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.

• A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will hear a faint ’click’ when the thermostat cuts in and out.

Frozen food storage

When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least 24 hours in the «fast freeze» mode before storing frozen food.

Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer.

Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary.

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).

Warning

Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the freezer compartment.

Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can possibly result in a low temperature skin burn.

Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or “frost/freezer burns”.

Important

In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen .

Thawing

Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature depending on the time available. Small food items may even be cooked from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer.

Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen.

Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.

Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in the oven in their aluminium wrapping.

A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the oven instructions, particularly regarding the placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in the oven.

Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.

Making ice cubes

The appliance is provided with one or more trays for ice-cubes trays.

Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expand and place them in the freezer compartment.

To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight twist.

Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.

Cold accumulators

The appliance is equipped with two cold accumulators. If there is a power failure, they will extend food conservation for a few hours.
