TRICITY BENDIX TB85F
Manual de Usuario

In order to freeze the quantity indicated on the rating plate, arrange the food directly in contact with the cooling surfaces. If the food is frozen in the baskets, the maximum quantity that can be frozen is slightly less. Once the food is completely frozen (which could take up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze switch to the �N� position; the yellow light (D) goes off. Distribute the frozen food packages in the other compartments, so that the top compartments can be used for a further freezing operation. The food to be frozen must be fresh and of the best quality. Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is already frozen. During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer door remains closed.

Frozen food storage
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. To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should: if large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and baskets from appliance (except for the last one at the bottom) and place food on the cooling shelves. Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated on the wall of the upper section (where applicable). Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer. Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary. Important Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the freezer compartment. Ice Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can possibly result in a low temperature skin burn. Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or �frost/freezer burns�. Important In the event of a power cut do not open the door. The food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen. 6

Thawing
Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature depending on the time available. Small food items may even be cooked from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer. Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen. Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through. Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in the oven in their aluminium wrapping. A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the oven instructions, particularly regarding the placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in the oven. Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.

Making ice cubes
The appliance is provided with one or more plastic ice cube trays. Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expand and place them in one of the freezer compartment. To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight twist. Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.
