walls of the appliance (Fig 5):
A) - foods to be frozen,
B) - foods already frozen.
• Avoid placing foods to be frozen in direct contact
with food already frozen.
• For best and fastest freezing, food should be split
into small portions; this will also be useful when the
frozen items are to be used.
• If the amount of food placed in the freezer is
less than 10-12 kg, appliance operation will be
automatically controlled by the “Green Intelligence”
function (see section “Green Intelligence Function”)
and the user is not required to perform any
procedure.
• To freeze larger amounts, exploiting the maximum
freezing capacity of the appliance as specied on
the data plate, it is necessary to activate the large
load freeze function 24 hours before loading the
food to be frozen.
• To activate the large load freeze function, press the
button (4). The yellow LED (5) lights up.
• After placing the fresh food in the freezer, it is
advisable to keep the lid of the appliance closed for
24 hours. Food will be fully frozen after this period
of time.
• To deactivate the large load freeze function, press
the button (4); if this procedure is not carried out,
the appliance will automatically deactivate the
function approx. 48 hours after activation.
FOOD STORAGE
Refer to the table on the appliance.
Classication of frozen foods
Load and classify the frozen foods; it is advisable
to indicate the storage date on the packs, to ensure
consumption before the expiry dates listed in months
in g. 6 for each type of food.
Advice for storing frozen food
When buying frozen food, make sure that:
• The packaging is intact (food in damaged
containers may have deteriorated). If a package
is swollen or has damp patches, the product may
not have been stored in optimum conditions and
therefore undergone partial defrosting.
• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until
last and carry them in a thermally insulated bag.
• On arriving home, immediately place the frozen
food in the appliance.
• Avoid or minimise temperature variations. Observe
the expiry date on the packaging.
• Always follow the storage instructions on frozen
food packages.
Note:
• Eat fully or partially defrosted foods
immediately. Do not refreeze unless the food
is cooked after it has thawed. Once cooked,
the food can be refrozen.
• In case of a prolonged power failure:
Do not open the appliance door, except
to place ice packs (if provided) over the
frozen foods on the right and left side of the
appliance. This will slow down the rise in
temperature.
