Freezing fresh food
• The freezer compartment allows for freezing fresh food and keeping frozen food for a long
period of time.
• The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours: do not add other food to be frozen during this time.
Storing deep-frozen food
When using for the first time or after an extended period of downtime, allow the appliance to run
at the lowest temperature setting for at least 4 hours before placing products in the compartment.
NOTE
In the event of accidental defrosting (for example, if the
power is cut for a period longer than shown in the technical
specifications table under the heading "Rise in temperature
period", the defrosted food must be eaten quickly or cooked
immediately and then refrozen (after cooking).
Defrosting
• Before being used, frozen food may be defrosted in the refrigeration compartment or at ambient
temperature, depending on the time you have for this step.
• Small or chopped food items can even be cooked from frozen without defrosting. In this case,
cooking will take longer.
