Storing in the freezer
It is practical to replace frozen products
into the basket(s) after freezing has
finished. Doing this you could make room
in the freezing compartment for another
freezing. Intermediate freezing does not
deteriorate foods already stored.
In large quantities of food are to be
stored, remove the baskets except the
lowermost one from appliance and place
food on the cooling surface.
Do not forget to keep to the
storage time given on the
packaging of frozen products if you buy
them frozen. To store home-frozen
products see the storing instructions
placed in the door of the freezer.
Symbols signify the various foods,
numbers mean maximum storing time
given in months.
It is safe to store quick-frozen,
frozen foods only if they have not
dissolved even for a short time until
placing them into the freezer. If the deep-
frozen food has already dissolved,
refreezing is not recommended, it has to
be used up as soon as possible
Freezing
The appliance can be used to freeze
fresh food of quantity specified on the
data label. Freezing different products
should always be done after proper
preparing as follows.
Set the thermostat knob to a medium
position.
Put the previously frozen food - or some
of it - to the basket or baskets. Put the
fresh food into the freezing
compartment, leaving enough space for
airflow. If there is some previously frozen
food left in the freezing compartment,
put this food into the back of the
compartment avoiding the contact
between the fresh food and the already
frozen food.
Run the appliance this way for 24 hours.
After 24 hours set the thermostat knob
according to your choice or leave it in a
medium position, which is in general
appropriate for everyday cooling needs.
Setting the thermostat knob to a
higher (e.g. maximum) position
is not recommended. Although doing so
would make the freezing time shorter, on
the other hand the temperature of the
fridge compartment may go permanently
below 0 °C, what yields freezing the food
and drinks stored there.
Never freeze food in bigger
quantity than given in the
'Technical data' at the same time,
otherwise freezing will not be
thorough and after dissolving various
deterioration may take place (losing
taste and aroma, lysing, etc.).
Do not make ice during freezing
preferably, because making ice
reduces freezing capacity.
