Warning light
This light
➃
warns when the temperature inside the
appliance has increased so much as to jeopardize the
preservation of food in the compartment.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time or
when food is placed in the compartment for freezing,
this light remains on until the temperature has
reached the level required for correct storage.
Acoustic alarm
This appliance also incorporates an alarm which
gives off a sound signal whenever the warning light
comes on. This signal can be temporarily stopped by
depressing the push button for fast freezing
➁
.
The fast freezing push button can be released as
soon as the warning light is off.
The appliance also incorporates an alarm which gives
off a sound signal when the door remains open for
more than 60 seconds. To stop this sound signal
close the door.
Freezing Calendar
The symbols on the drawers show different types of
frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in months for the
appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper
or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid
depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating
before freezing.
Storage of commercially frozen
food
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.
Important
If there is a power failure when food is in
the freezer, do not open the door of the
freezer. The frozen food will not be affected
if the power cut is of short duration (up to
18 hours) and the freezer 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).
Freezing of fresh foods
To quick-freeze foods when the appliance has not
been in use, switch on the freezer and let it run on the
quick-freeze setting for at least three hours before
putting the food to be frozen in the compartment.
If instead the appliance is already in operation, it
should run on the quick-freeze setting for at least 24
hours before the foods are put in the freezer. Once
the foods have been placed in the freezer, the
freezing operation can be considered to be complete
24 hours later. Once freezing is complete, the freezer
should be reset for normal storage use.
Food to be frozen has to be placed in the
appliance's two top compartments; if freezing
only a small amount of food, use the top
compartment.
The maximum amount of food which is freezable in
24 hours is indicated on the rating plate. This is to be
found on the bottom left-hand side.
You should never freeze all at once a greater quantity
of foods than the maximum indicated on the
appliance’s rating plate.
Thawing
Before being used, deep-frozen and frozen food can
be thawed out either in the refrigerator or at room
temperature, depending on the time available for this
operation.
Small pieces of food, such as hamburgers, cutlets
chips, and fish fingers, for example, can be cooked
straight out of the freezer, without any intermediate
thawing operation.
Clearly, cooking time will be marginally longer than in
the case of thawed food.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with trays for the
production of ice-cubes.
Fill these trays with water to 3/4 of their height, then
put them in the freezer compartment. The ice-cubes
may be shaken out from the trays by simply twisting;
do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays
from the freezer.
