Useful hints for freezing
¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ Products to be frozen should be fresie and clean. Pack foods in suitable family portions which can be used up all at once. Small packs allow fast and uniform freezing. Lean foods keep better and longer than fatty foods. Salt reduces the storage life of food. Wrap foods closely in aluminium foil or plastic bags or flim, and make sure they are properly sealed. Attach a label to each pack, indicating the contents and the date on which it was prepared. Never piace hot foods, bottles or containers with fizy drinks in the freezer (they could explode). Do not fili containers with lids right to the brim. Do not add more food or open the doors during the freezing process. Never piace food to be frozen in contact with already frozen food, as this would increase the temperature of the latter.
Thawing food
Foods may be thawed in various ways, depending on their type and the size of pack. Meat, fish and fruit may be thawed in the refrigerator compartment. Small pieces of meat may be cooked from frozen. Vegetables thaw immediately in boiling water. Pre-cooked dishes may be re-heated directly in the oven in their container. Microwave ovens are particularly suitable for defrosting all types of frozen food. Follow the instructions supplied with the oven.

Storing frozen foods
After having started up the freezer, select the fast freeze function (knob F to position �S�) at least 3 hours before loading frozen food. Then return the knob to the normal storage temperature (knob F to the mid position). There are no particular problema in storing frozen foods. Packs may be placed next to or on top of each other. When buying frozen foods, get them home and into your freezer as quickly as possible. Packs which are damaged or show traces of moisture indicate that the product has not been stored at the correct temperature and that the food may trave lost its original quality. Partially defrosted foods must never be re-frozen and must be consumed as quickly as possible. Never consume products after the date shown on the pack. In the event of a short power cut, foods will not be affected, but you should avoid opening the appliance doors. Important If there is a power failure when food is in the freezer, do not open the door of the freezer compartment. The frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration (up to 6-8 hours) and the freezer compartment is full, otherwise, it is recommended that the food should be used within a short time (a temperature increase of the frozen food shortens its safe storage period). 8 ¥ ¥ Rest the panels against the appliance. Fit the rear brackets, taking into account the thickness of the panels (maximum width of unit 900 mm). Secure the panels at the front. If using panels less than 20 mm thick, fit spacŽr plates A, supplied with the appliance, on the hinge side.
Fitting the side panels
Â¥ Fit the brackets onto the panels in the positions shown in the diagram. The dimension of 132 mm is allowed for fitting a 100 mm plinth below the panel. For different plinth sizes, reduce or increase the dimension of 132 mm accordingly.
