HOW TO USE THE FREEZER
Advice for storing frozen food
When purchasing frozen food products:
ensure that the packaging is not damaged
(frozen food in damaged packaging may
have deteriorated). If the package is swollen
or has damp patches, it may not have been
stored under optimal conditions and thawing
may have already begun.
When shopping, leave frozen food
purchases until last and transport the
products in a thermally insulated cool bag.
Once at home, place the frozen foods
immediately in the freezer.
If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-
freeze it. Consume within 24 hours.
Avoid subjecting foods to temperature
variations.
Observe th?e best befo? dare te on the
package.
Always observe the storage information on
the package.
Removing the baskets
Pull the baskets out as far as they come, then
lift up slightly and remove.
Pull the bottom basket out as far as it comes,
turn it slightly to the right and then remove.
Note on storage capacity
Storage capacity is calculated without the tray
and without the three upper baskets. For
increased storage space, the freezer can also be
used without the baskets, for example for
freezing poultry or similar products.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice cube tray 2/3 full and place it on
the tray or in a basket.
Use the handle of a teaspoon handle to
remove ice cube trays should they stick to the
bottom of the compartment. Do not use sharp
or pointed instruments.
Bend the ice tray slightly to remove the
cubes.
For aluminium trays, run water on the bottom
of the tray.
Note:
If the freezer door does not open immediately
after closing, wait a few minutes in order to allow
compensation of the vacuum created.
Switching off the freezer
Turn the thermostat anticlockwise (towards
the left) to positio.n
The green appliance ON led switches off, as do
all the other leds, if lit; the appliance is still
connected to the mains power supply.
