Conseils pour la congŽlation
R•gles ˆ respecter pour la congŽlation:
¥ le pouvoir max. de congŽlation par 24 heures
figure sur la plaque signalŽtique;
¥ le processus de congŽlation prend 24 heures. Il
vaut mieux ne pas ajouter d'autres aliments ˆ
congeler pendant ce laps de temps;
¥ prŽparez de petites portions, de fa•on ˆ faciliter
la congŽlation et ˆ permettre de ne dŽcongeler
que la quantitŽ nŽcessaire;
¥ enveloppez les denrŽes dans du papier
d'aluminium ou de polyth•ne, en Žliminant les
bulles d'air et en fermant bien les paquets;
¥ Žvitez de placer des produits ˆ congeler en
contact avec des denrŽes dŽjˆ entreposŽes, pour
Žviter d'en Žlever la tempŽrature;
¥ ne consommez pas les b‰tonnets glacŽs toute
de suite apr•s les avoir sortis du congŽlateur. La
tempŽrature tr•s basse ˆ laquelle ils se trouvent
peut provoquer des bržlures:
¥ indiquez sur chaque paquet la date de
congŽlation, afin de pouvoir contr™ler le temps
dÕentreposage;
¥ Les symboles qui figurent sur les tiroirs
correspondent ˆ diffŽrents types de produits
congelŽs.
Les chiffres indiquent la durŽe de conservation
en mois du type correspondant de produit. La
durŽe de conservation supŽrieure ou infŽrieure
est valable en fonction de la qualitŽ des aliments
et du traitement quÕils ont subi avant la
congŽlation.
¥ ne placez ni bouteilles ni bo”tes de boissons
gazeuses dans le congŽlateur, car elles
pourraient Žclater.

Storage of frozen food
When the freezer is being turned on for the first
time, or after a prolonged period of disuse, put into
the Quick-freezing position and then wait at least
two hours before introducing the food to be
conserved. This two-hour waiting period may be
avoided if the freezer has already been in operation.
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
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can
be thawed in the refrigerator compartment 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.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one or more trays
for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with
water, then put them in the freezer compartment.
Do not use metallic instruments to remove the
trays from the freezer.
Freezing fresh food
Set the freezer to quick-freezing operational status.
Wait at least 3 hours before introducing fresh foods
into the freezer if it has only recently been turned on.
If the freezer has already been working for some
time, press the quick-freezing switch at least 24
hours before introducing the food into the freezer in
order to ensure better freezing results. This period of
time may be shortened according to the quantity of
food. When quick-freezing is being performed, the
compressor works continuously, employing all of its
refrigerating power to the maximum. Keep the knob
as it is for another 24 hours after the introduction of
the food into the freezer and then return the knob to
the normal position.
Bear in mind the freezing capacity of your freezer;
that is, the maximum quantity of food that may be
frozen in 24 hours. This freezing capacity is 22 kg.
Distribute the packages as shown in Figure.
Arrange the foods to be frozen in the upper
compartments.
When the necessary freezing time has elapsed,
distribute the newly-frozen foods into the drawers to
free the compartments for new foods to be frozen.
To make the most of the freezerÕs storage capacity,
remove drawer (A) and baskets (B) and (C); piace
frozen and deep-frozen products directly on the
compartment shelves, making sure they are not
stacked above the loading line
Cold accumulator
A cold accumulator is supplied in the freezer; this
increases the length of time for which food will keep
in the event of a power failure or breakdown. It must
be placed in the top drawer.

Internal thermometer
This indicates the internal temperature of the
freezer. It may indicate a temperature above -18¡C
when large quantities of food are placed inside for
freezing or when the door is left open for a long
time.
