The freezer can also be used to freeze fresh food by positioning it on the racks; place frozen food in the lower basket so that there is no contact with fresh food that has yet to be frozen. The amount of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate. Note: The temperature in the freezer compartment is maintained at the ideal level for the storage of frozen food also during power failures of limited duration. However, it is advisable to avoid opening the freezer compartment door during such periods. When purchasing frozen food products: · ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored under optimal conditions and defreezing may have already begun. · When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag. · Place the items in the freezer compartment as soon as you get home. · Always observe the storage information on the package. Freezing fresh food · Press the fast freeze button (F) (if supplied) 24 hours before freezing fresh food; this will optimise the freezing process. · Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or special freezer containers. · Arrange the fresh food in the top compartment, leaving enough space for air to circulate around packs. The lower grille (if supplied) can be removed to increase the capacity of the compartment. · When putting food in to freeze, turn the thermostat control knob down half a position (e. g: from 3 to 2. 5).
