The freezer compartment can also be
used for freezing fresh food. The quantity of
fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is
shown on the rating plate.
Freezing fresh food
• The recommended position for fresh food is
that indicated in Fig. 1, if a wire shelf is present,
or that in Fig. 2 for models with no wire shelf.
• Place food in the middle of the compartment,
making sure it does not touch already
frozen food, but is placed at a distance of
approx. 20 mm (fig. 1 and 2).
The table alongside shows the recommended
maximum storage time for frozen fresh
foods.
When purchasing frozen food products:
• Make sure the packaging is not damaged, since
the product quality 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.
• Place the items in the compartment as soon as
you get home.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-
freeze it. Consume within 24 hours.
• Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the
minimum. Respect the best-before date on the
package.
• Always follow the storage instructions on the
frozen food packages.
Making ice cubes
• Fill the ice cube tray 2/3 full and place it in the
compartment .
• Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to
detach the tray if it is stuck to the bottom of the
compartment.
• Bend the ice tray slightly to remove the cubes.
