Positioning the door balconies
To permit storage of food packages of various
sizes, the door balconies can be placed at
different heights. To make these adjustments
proceed as follows: gradually pull the balcony
in the direction of the arrows until it comes free,
then reposition it as required.
Helpful hints and tips
To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some
important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food that can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown
on the rating plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen
should be added during this period;
• only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned foodstuffs;
• prepare food in small portions so these can be rapidly and completely
frozen and to allow to subsequently thaw only the quantity required;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that
the packages are airtight;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food that is already
frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter;
• lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; also remember
that salt reduces food’s storage life;
• ice cubes, if consumed immediately after removing them from the
freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze
burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezing date on each individual pack to
enable a fast removal from the freezer compartment;
• it is advisable to show the freezing date on each individual pack to
enable you to keep tab of the storage time.
Hints for storing frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately
stored by the retailer;
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to
the freezer in the shortest possible time;
• not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than strictly
necessary.
• not re-frost food; once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and
cannot be re-frozen;
• not exceed the storage period specied by the food manufacturer.
