Maintenance And Care; Precautions And Tips - Hotpoint Ariston XH8 T2Z XOJZH Gebrauchsanleitung

• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been
defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24
hours).
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which
are corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they
could break.
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is
indicated on the plate containing the technical properties
located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment
(for example: 2Kg/24h: ).
! To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer
compartment, it is advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes
with food or containers.
! Do not open the door during freezing.
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer
door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer,
ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 12-18 hours.
!To maximise space inside the freezer, all drawers [with the
exception of the bottom drawer] can be removed from their
positions and the food placed directly on the racks/glass shelves
supplied [where present].
* SUPER FREEZE +
This compartment is used to lower the temperature of freshly
cooked meals in a very rapid way, by allowing a freezing process
until the core of the food. The SUPER FREEZE + drawer is the
ideal solution to quickly freeze freshly cooked food as well as
food that you want to store in the freezer. Thanks to the rapidity
of the lowering phase, ice crystals will be smaller and they won't
damage the food when it's defrosted.
Optimal usage of the SUPER FREEZE + drawer
In order to make an optimal usage of the SUPER FREEZE + drawer,
you need to insert it on the lower shelf of the freezer compartment
(as per figure 1). Moreover, in order to obtain a rapid lowering
from +70°C to -18°C in about 4,5 hours (for 1 kg of food), position
the food inside the drawer and switch on the SUPER FREEZE +
feature on the Control Panel.
