•Thanks to the efficient lid seal, the appliance lid will not reopen easily immediately after closing. Wait a few minutes before re-opening the lid of the appliance.

Temperature Adjustment

Use the thermostat to select the ideal storage temperature. To adjust the internal temperature, proceed as follows:

•Turn the thermostat knob to 1 for a storage temperature that is less cold.

•Turn the thermostat knob to 6 / for a colder storage temperature.

•For partial loads, or when the load indicator is below the "e" symbol inside the appliance, it is advisable to move the thermostat to the lower position (on "e", if present on the thermostat scale)

FREEZING FOOD

Preparation of fresh food for freezing

•Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polyethylene containers with lids, provided they are suitable for freezing foods.

•Food must be fresh, mature and of prime quality in order to obtain high quality frozen food.

•Fresh vegetables and fruit should preferably be frozen as soon as they are picked to maintain the full original nutritional value, consistency, colour and flavour.

•Always leave hot food to cool before placing in the appliance.

Freezing fresh food

•Place foods to be frozen in direct contact with the walls of appliance:

A)- foods to be frozen,

B)- foods already frozen.

•Avoid placing foods to be frozen in direct contact with food already frozen.

•For best and fastest freezing, foods should be split into small portions; this will also be useful when the frozen items are to be used.

1.At least 24 hours before storing fresh food in the appliance, press the fast freeze button. For appliances without this button, turn the thermostat to .

2.Place the food to be frozen and keep the lid of the appliance closed for 24 hours. At the end of this period, switch off the fast freeze button (if provided).

FOOD STORAGE

Refer to the table on the appliance (if provided).

Classification of frozen MONTHS FOOD foods

Put the frozen products into the appliance and classify them; The storage date should be indicated on the packs, to allow use within expiry dates.

Advice for storing frozen food

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.

•Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in the appliance.

•Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum. Respect the best-before date on the package.

•Always observe the storage information on the package.

Note:

Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately. Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has

thawed. Once cooked, the thawed food can be refrozen. If there is a long power failure:

•Do not open the appliance lid except to place ice packs (if provided) over the frozen foods on the right and left of the appliance. This will slow down the rise in temperature.
