We remind you that, in case of power failure, the

freezer compartment maintains the appropriate

storage temperature for approximately 12 hours;

during this time, we suggest you leave the door of

the compartment closed. Do not refreeze partially

thawed food.

Thawing

Here are some helpful hints:

Raw vegetables

: do not thaw, put straight into

boiling water and cook as usual.

Meat

(large cuts): thaw in the refrigerator

compartment without unwrapping. Before cooking,

leave at room temperature for a couple of hours.

(small cuts): thaw at room temperature or cook

directly.

Fish

: thaw in the refrigerator compartment

without unwrapping or cook directly before

complete thawing.

Previously cooked food

: reheat in the oven

without removing it from its aluminium container.

Fruit

: thaw in the refrigerator compartment.

NOTE

: Never store warm food in the freezer.

Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature for 30

minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot

foods before freezing saves energy and prolongs

the life of the appliance.
