Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use,
before putting the products in the compartment let
the appliance run at least two hours on the quick
freezing setting, then return to the normal operating
position.
Important
In the event of accidental defrosting, for example
due to a power failure, if the power has been off
for longer that the value shown in the technical
characteristics chart under “rising time”, the
defrosted food must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then refrozen (after
cooling).
Thawing out frozen foods
Frozen foods must be allowed to thaw out before
use either in the refrigerator (meat, poultry, fish, etc.)
or at room temperature (ali other foods) according to
the available time. Frozen products which come in
small-sized or separate packages may be cooked
directly without thawing; obviously, in this case, the
cooking time will fast a little longer.
Ice-cube production
Fill the trays with water to 3/4 of their height, to
permit the expansion of the ice, then put them in the
space below the quick-freezing compartment (see
the diagram). If the water in your area is rich in
minerai salts (limestone, in particular), we advise
you to use noncarbonated mineral water for the
production of ice cubes. The ice-cubes may be
shaken out of the plastic trays with a slight twist.
