Freezing fresh food
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing
fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen
food for a long time.
To freeze fresh food activate the Fast Freeze
function at least 24 hours before placing the
food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the two top
compartments.
The maximum amount of food that can be
frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating
plate, a label located on the inside of the
appliance.
The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this
period do not add other food to be frozen.
After 24 hours, when the freezing process is
completed, return to the required temperature
(see "Temperature regulation").
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 2
hours on the higher settings.
Important! In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off for
longer than the value shown in the
technical characteristics chart under
"rising time", the defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked
immediately and then re-frozen (after
cooling).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed at room temperature.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,
directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking
will take longer.
Cold accumulators
One or more cold accumulators are supplied in
the freezer; these increase the length of time for
which food will keep in the event of a power
failure or breakdown.
