Opening and closing the lid
As the lid is equipped with a tightly closing seal, it is
not easy to reopen it shortly after closing (due to the vac-
uum formed inside).
Wait a few minutes before reopening the appliance. The
vacuum valve will help you to open the lid.
Warning! Never pull the handle with immense force.

Helpful hints and tips
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing process, here
are some important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in
24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food
to be frozen should be added during this period;
• only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned,
foodstuffs;
• prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rap-
idly and completely frozen and to make it possible
subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and
make sure that the packages are airtight;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food
which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in tem-
perature of the latter;

• lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones;
salt reduces the storage life of food;
• water ices, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause
the skin to be freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each
individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the stor-
age time.
