Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.
Place the fresh food to be frozen in the bottom compartment.
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 12 hours is specified on the rating plate.
The freezing process lasts 12 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.

Storing frozen food
When first starting up or after a period out of use. Before putting the product in the compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.
Important! In the event of accidental defrosting, for example 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 cooked).

Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, before be used, can be thawed in a fridge 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.

Helpful hints and tips Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:

the maximum quantity of food that can be frozen in 12 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;
the freezing process takes 12 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period;
to start the SUPER function 24 hours before placing food in the appliance can help the best freezing capacity;
only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;
wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight;
do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food that is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter;
lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;
water ice, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time;
packs can cause the skin to be freeze-burned.

Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:

make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs are adequately stored by the retailer;
be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to the freezer in the shortest possible time;
not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than necessary.
Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.

Cleaning
For hygienic reasons, the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly.
Caution! The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning.
The danger of ‘ * electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical components, the danger of electrical shock! Hot vapors can lead to the damage of plastic parts. The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.

Important! Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or juice form orange peel, butyric acid, and cleanser that contains acetic acid.

Do not allow such substances to come into contact the appliance parts.
Do not use any abrasive cleaners
Remove the food from the freezer. Store them in a cool place, well covered.
Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker of a fuse.
Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water.
After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.

If the condenser is at the back of the appliance.

Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer, however, will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out as follows:

Unplug the unit. Remove the drain plug from the inside of the freezer. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the freezer door open.

For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug. Pull out the drain dial.
Rotate the drain dial 180 degrees. This will let the water flow out in the tray. When done, push the drain dial in. Replug the drain plug inside the freezer compartment.
Note: monitor the container under the drain to avoid overflow.
Wipe the interior of the freezer and replace the electrical plug in the electrical outlet.
Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.

Caution! Only a qualified electrician of competent person must do the troubleshooting that is not in this manual.
Important! There are some sounds during normal use (compressor, refrigerant circulation).
