Using the freezer
Before use
Thawing
Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in
the fridge or at room temperature depending on the
time available. Small food items may even be cooked
from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer.
Remove all securing tapes.Wash inside the appliance
with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml
to 0.5 litre of water).
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell
may linger. Dry thoroughly.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw
accidentally should either be eaten as soon as
possible or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is
uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it
can be cooked and then refrozen.
Freezing fresh food
The 4-star compartment is suitable for the long
term storage of commercially frozen food and for
freezing fresh food.
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the
refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat
can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must
ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.
To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to move
the thermostat knob from the normal setting. Push
the quick freeze switch at least 3 hours before
loading food.
Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling
water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in
the oven in their aluminium wrapping.
In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 20 kg.of fresh food.
Place the food to be frozen in drawer 4 as indicated
in the diagram on page 5, as this is the coldest part.
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for
thawing any type of frozen or deep-frozen food:
follow the oven instructions, particularly regarding
the placement of aluminium wrapping or containers
in the oven.
To guarantee a good operation of the appliance during
normal use, the drawers should not be removed.
Frozen food storage
Defrosted cooked food must never be
refrozen.
When using for the first time or after a period out
of use, before putting the frozen food products in
the compartment let the appliance run for at least
two hours on the coldest setting, then turn the
thermostat knob to the normal operating position.
Cold accumulators
Two cold accumulators are supplied in the freezer;
these increase the length of time the food will keep
in the event of a power failure or breakdown.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manufacturer.
They must be placed in the top drawer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Warning
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in
the freezer compartment.
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from
the freezer, can cause low temperature skin burns.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands
are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or
“frost/freezer burns”.
Important
In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer
will not be affected if the power cut is short and if
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.

Hints and tips
Food storage
In the event of a power failure
•
To obtain the best results from your appliance,
neither hot foods nor liquids which may
evaporate, should be placed in the larder
compartment.
If there is a power failure during the storage of
frozen foods, keep the door closed. If the
temperature within your freezer should rise do not
refreeze the food without checking it’s condition.
The following guidelines should assist you.
•
•
Keep the time between buying chilled food and
placing it in your fridge as short as possible.
Ice Cream:
Once thawed should be discarded.
Fruit andVegetables:
If soft should be cooked and used up.
Bread and Cakes:
Can be refrozen without danger.
Shellfish:
Should be refrigerated and used up quickly.
Cooked Dishes:
i.e. casseroles, should be refrigerated and used up.
Large Pieces of Meat:
Can be re-frozen providing there are ice crystals
remaining within them.
Small Joints:
Do not push food together too much, try to
allow air to circulate around each item.
•
•
Do not store food uncovered.
Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and
clean, refer to ‘Maintenance and Cleaning’.
•
•
Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated
and labelled and used in date order to ensure
that food is consumed at its best.
Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it
straight away.The use of an insulated container is
advisable.When you arrive home place the
frozen food in the freezer immediately.
•
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.
Should be cooked and then re-frozen as cooked
dishes.
Chicken:
Should be cooked and re-frozen as a fresh dish.
Energy saving advice
•
Do not install the cabinet close to sources of
heat, i.e. boiler or radiator.
•
Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated
room and make sure that the air openings of the
cabinet are not obstructed.
•
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by
packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages
before placing them in the freezer.
•
•
Always leave warm food to cool down to room
temperature before placing in the freezer.
Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should
be placed in the fridge before being transferred
to the freezer.
•
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long
periods, or opening the door too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
•
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
door from closing properly.

Defrosting
Freezer
Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no
need to manually defrost your appliance as this will
be carried out automatically.
Refrigerator
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time
the compressor stops.The water is discharged, via
the pipe, into a tray located at the back of the
appliance above the compressor, where it
evaporates.
Important
To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge,
periodically clean the water discharge hole in the
centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back of
the refrigerator compartment behind the fruit and
vegetable drawer. Use the defrost cleaner provided
which you will find already inserted into the
discharge hole.
Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy
water at regular intervals. Dry thoroughly before
replacing.
