Freezing Calendar
The symbols on the upper drawer show different types of frozen goods. The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pretreating before freezing. ¥ Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often. ¥ Do not place warm foods inside the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first. ¥ Do not set temperature any colder than necessary. ¥ Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food will then be used to cool the fridge. ¥ Keep the heat emitting condenser, the metall grille on the rear wall of your appliance, always clean. Freezing of fresh foods and storage of frozen food ¥ To quick-freeze foods when the appliance has not been in use, switch on the freezer and let it run on the quick-freeze setting for at least three hours before putting the food to be frozen in the compartment. If instead the appliance is already in operation, it should run on the quick-freeze setting for at least 24 hours before the foods are put in the freezer. ¥ Once the foods have been placed in the freezer, the freezing operation can be considered to be complete 24 hours later. Once freezing is complete, the freezer should be reset for normal storage use. ¥ When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least two hours in the �fast freeze� mode before storing frozen food. ¥ Food to be frozen has to be placed in the appliance's two top compartments; if freezing only a small amount of food, use the top compartment. ¥ In the top compartment, products must only be stacked up to the mark on the cabinet wall so as to ensure that air circulation is not obstructed. ¥ The maximum amount of food which is freezable in 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate. This is to be found on the bottom lefthand side. ¥ 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. ¥ Not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary. ¥ Wrap up the food in aluminium 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.
Interior Accessories
Ice-cube production This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with water, then put them in the freezer. Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer. Cold accumulator The freezer contains one cold accumulator which can be found in the top compartment. The cold accumulator increases storage times in the event of a power cut or breakdown. It must be placed on top of the food, in the top compartment. Removal of this unit will increase the capacity of the fast freezing compartment but will reduce storage times in the event of a power cut or breakdown. Drawers The freezer has stops to prevent the drawers from falling out when fully extended. To remove the drawers, proceed as follows: pull the drawer out until it comes to a stop, then tilt it upwards (see figure).
