Recommended set temperature is:
-18°C for the freezer.

The temperature range may vary between -15°C and -24°C for freezer. Choose the setting keeping in mind that the temperature inside the appliance depends on:

• room temperature,
• frequency of opening the door,
• quantity of food stored,
• appliance location.

The temperature indicators show the set temperature. The set temperature is reached within 24 hours. After a power failure it remains stored

Super Freeze function
The Super Freeze function performs prefreezing and fast freezing in sequence in the freezer compartment.

You can deactivate the Super Freeze function before its automatic end by pressing and holding the Control button for 3 seconds. The Super Freeze indicator turns off.

DAILY USE

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 Super Freeze function at least 24 hours before placing the food to be frozen in the freezer compartment. Store the fresh food evenly distributed in the first and second compartment or drawer from the top. The maximum amount of food that can be frozen without adding other fresh food during 24 hours is specified on the rating plate (a label located inside the appliance).

Storage of frozen food
When activating an appliance for the first time or after a period out of use, before putting the products in the compartment let the appliance run at least 3 hours with the Super Freezefunction switched on. The freezer drawers ensure that it is quick and easy to find the food package you want. If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers, except for the bottom drawer which needs to be in place to provide good air circulation. Keep the food on the shelves no closer than 15 mm from the door.

CAUTION!
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 on rating plate under “rising time”, the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately then cooled and then re-frozen.

Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator 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 tray
This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice- cubes. Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer .

1. Fill the ice-cube trays with water.
2. Put them in the freezer

HINTS AND TIPS

Hints for energy saving

• The internal configuration of the appliance is the one that ensures the most efficient use of energy.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than necessary.
• The colder the temperature setting, the higher the energy consumption.
• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover the ventilation grilles or holes.
• Make sure that food products inside the appliance allow air circulation through dedicated holes in the rear interior of the appliance.

Hints for freezing

• Activate Super Freeze function at least 24 hours before placing the food inside the freezer compartment.
• Before freezing wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, plastic film or bags, airtight containers with lid.
• For more efficient freezing and thawing divide food into small portions
• It is recommended to put labels and dates on all your frozen food. This will help to identify foods and to know when they should be used before their deterioration.
• The food should be fresh when being frozen to preserve good quality. Especially fruits and vegetables should be frozen after the harvest to preserve all of their nutrients.
• Do not freeze bottles or cans with liquids, in particular drinks containing carbon dioxide – they may explode during freezing.
• Do not put hot food in the freezer compartment. Cool it down at room temperature before placing it inside the compartment.
• To avoid increase in temperature of already frozen food, do not place fresh unfrozen food directly next to it. Place food at room temperature in the part of the freezer compartment where there is no frozen food.
• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.
• Do not re-freeze defrosted food. If the food has defrosted, cook it, cool it down and then freeze it.

Hints for storage of frozen food

• Freezer compartment is the one marked with .
• Good temperature setting that ensures preservation of frozen food products is a temperature less than or equal to -18°C.  Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life.
• The whole freezer compartment is suitable for storage of frozen food products.
• Leave enough space around the food to allow air to circulate freely.
• For adequate storage refer to food packaging label to see the shelf life of food.
• It is important to wrap the food in such a way that prevents water, humidity or condensation from getting inside.

Shopping tips
After grocery shopping:

• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged – the food could be deteriorated. If the package is swollen or wet, it might have not been stored in the optimal conditions and defrosting may have already started.
• To limit the defrosting process buy frozen goods at the end of your grocery shopping and transport them in a thermal and insulated cool bag.
• Place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer after coming back from the shop.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume it as soon as possible.
• Respect the expiry date and the storage information on the package.
