You should therefore never exceed your appliance's maximum freezing capacity. Within 24 h a max 15 kg of food for 70 cm width appliances, can be frozen at once in the upper compartments. Food that is already frozen should never come into contact with fresh food about to be frozen. Allow hot food and drinks to cool down to room temperature before placing in the freezer. 26 Super-cooling If you are going to buy fresh food you should switch on super-cooling 3-4 hours before or at the latest when placing fresh food in the refrigerator. To switch on super-cooling, repeatedly press or hold the “control frigorifico” button (Fig. 2/2) until the indicator illuminates at “super-cooling” (Fig. 2/4). In the case of super-cooling, the refrigerator compartment is lowered to a lower temperature for 6 hours. Afterwards, the refrigerator compartment returns to the temperature selected prior to super-cooling. Fast freezing If frozen food is already being stored in the freezer, you should switch on fast freeze several hours before putting in fresh food to freeze. Normally, it will suffice to switch on fast freeze 4–6 hours ahead. If you are planning to make full use of maximum freezing capacity, switch on 24 hours in advance. Smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg) can be frozen without the fast freeze facility. To switch on "super" freeze, simply press the "super-frost" button, Fig. 2/8. The “super frost” indicator (orange light) lights up to show that the fast freeze function is operating. After switching on, a very low temperature is achieved in the freezer compartment. Fast freezing switches off automatically approximately 50 hours after being switched on. Freezing and Storage of food If you need to freeze very large quantities of food, you may find it convenient the frozen food containers except for bottom container and to stack your directly on the freezing grids. To remove containers, pull out as far as they will upwards and remove. Observe that food should not project over the stacking limit (Figure B/A) otherwise air circulation within the appliance will be obstructed. Frozen food calendar Figure 6/22 It is important not to exceed maximum permissible storage times in order to avoid impairing the quality of the frozen goods. The actual storage time depends on the type of food. The numbers next to the symbols indicate the permissible storage time in months. In the case of frozen goods purchased from a shop, observe the production date or ‘Best before …’ date. Freezer tray Fig. 0 The freezer tray is suitable for storing ice cube trays and for freezing individual berries, pieces of fruit, herbs and vegetables. To freeze individual items of food, distribute the produce uniformly on the freezer tray and leave to freeze for approx. 10–12 hours. Then transfer the produce into freezer bags or containers. To thaw, spread out the individual items of food. Thawing frozen food Depending on the nature of the food and the preparation or cooking method you are going to employ, you may choose one of the following thawing methods: at room temperature, in the refrigerator, en in an electric oven, fan-assisted or not, in the microwave oven. Food that has been partially defrosted can be refrozen provided that these items are stored at temperatures below +3 °C and for no longer than one day where meat and fish is involved, or no longer than 3 days for other items. Otherwise, provided that taste, smell and appearance remain unchanged, you can boil, fry or process the food further into a ready-made dish and then refreeze. Observe that in this case the admissible shelf-life will be shorter than normal. Making ice-cubes Fill the ice-cube tray three-quarters full with water and place it in the freezer. Twist the tray slightly to remove the ice-cubes (Figure 9). en Defrosting How to defrost the refrigerator The refrigerator defrosts automatically. Defrosting water collects in a gutter, (Fig. 7/B) before flowing through the drainage outlet, (Fig. 7/A) to the evaporating tray at the back of the appliance where it evaporates. Make sure that there is never any blockage in defrosting water flow (see instructions under “Cleaning”). How to defrost the freezer Large accumulations of frost or ice on the freezer grids have an adverse effect on the efficiency of the appliance and increase energy consumption. When the frost is approx. o cm thick, the freezer should be defrosted. It should, however, be defrosted at least once or twice a year, preferably when the freezer is totally or nearly empty. Remember to switch on fast-freezing approximately four hours before defrosting if you still have food stored in the freezer. This will cause the temperature of the food to drop to an extremely low degree and ensure that it can be kept safely at room at room temperature for a longer period. Then remove the drawers with their contents, wrap in several layers of newspaper or a blanket and store in a cool place. Press the ON/OFF freezer switch (Fig. 2/9 to switch off ...
