5.4 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 a higher setting.
WARNING: In the event of accidental defrosting (for example the power is off), the
defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen
(after being cooked).
5.5 Thawing food
Frozen food can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room temperature before
being cooked, depending on your needs. Follow the food manufacturer's instructions on
the packaging.
WARNING: Thawed foods cannot be re-frozen. Consume quickly.
5.6 Hints for freezing and storing frozen food
To obtain the best performance, observe the followings.
•
The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating
plate of the appliance.
•
The freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added
during this period;
•
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 tin foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight;
•
Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which 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 ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment,
can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt.
•
It is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to
keep tab of the storage time.
•
Be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to the freezer in the
shortest possible time.
•
Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be re-frozen.
•
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
•
Do not store bottled drink in the freezer compartment to prevent burst or other losses.
5.7 Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance, observe the followings.
•
Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator.

and place on the glass shelves above the vegetable drawer.
•
For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
•
Cooked foods, cold dishes should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
•
Fruit and vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer
(crisper) provided.
•
Butter and cheese should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in tin foil
or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.
•
Milk bottles should have a cap and should be stored in the door racks.
•
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the fridge.
