Freezing
You need not press the fast-freezing button when freezing smaller quantities of food during any 24-hour period. In all other cases, press the fast-freezing button approx. 24 hours prior to placing the food in the freezer. Press the fast-freezing button to switch off fast-freezing again about 24 hours after placing the food in the freezer. The yellow fast-freezing lamp remains lit as long as the fast-freezing button is engaged. Practical advice on freezing · When freezing products, use the top shelf, and if necessary the shelf beneth that. · Place the foods directly on the freezer shelves. · Spread out the products as much as possible to allow air to circulate between them. · Do not place food products which are to be frozen directly against other frozen food. The heat from the unfrozen food may cause the frozen food to thaw on the surface. · Once frozen, re-arrange the products and put them as close as possible to each other. The food will then stay cold longer in the event of a power failure. · Do not freeze too much food at the same time. The freezing capacity of the unit is indicated in the specifications section.
Check that the cabinet is operating and keeps the set temperature one day after switching it on for the first time. Only after then should the freezer be used to freeze fresh foodstuff.
