The Freezer
Freezing fresh food
The appliance can be used to freeze fresh food of quantity specified on the data label. Freezing different products should always be done after proper preparing as follows. Press the function selection button once or twice as occasion requires to obtain super freezing mode (the super freezing mode symbol shown on the display). Put the previously frozen food to another basket or baskets. Put the fresh food into the lower basket, leaving enough space for airflow. Run the appliance this way for 24 hours. To exit from super freezing mode press the function selection button again. Should you not do so, after a while the freezer returns to automatic mode. Never freeze food in bigger quantity than given in the 'Technical data' at the same time, otherwise freezing will not be thorough and after dissolving various deterioration may take place (losing taste and aroma, lysing, etc.). Do not make ice during freezing preferably, because making ice reduces freezing capacity. The freezing tray is suitable for freezing smaller fruits (raspberry, strawberry, currant, etc.). Fruits should be put in the tray in thin layers without packaging. After freezing they can be packed and sorted out then placed into the storing compartments.
Frozen Food Storage
When first starting the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least 2 hours before storing frozen food. Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer. Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is necessary. It is practical to replace frozen products into the basket(s)after freezing has finished. Doing this you could make room in the freezing compartment for another freezing. Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods already stored. In large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the baskets except the lowermost one from appliance and place food on the shelves. Important Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer. Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer can cause a low temperature skin burn. In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and the freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the food begin to thaw it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen. (See Hints and Tips) Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
