User manual CORBERO CV1240S/O

[. . . ] The appliance should be installed well away from sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct sunlight etc. To ensure best performance, if the appliance is positioned below an overhanging wall unit, the minimum distance between the top of the cabinet and the wall unit must be at least 100 mm (A). Ideally, however, the appliance should not be positioned below overhanging wall units (B). Accurate levelling is ensured by one or more adjustable feet at the base of the cabinet. [. . . ] Indicate the freezing date on every sack or container as a means of controlling conservation times. Never open the freezer door or introduce new foods to be frozen whenever a Quick-freezing phase is already in progress. Do not open the freezer door too often and leave it open only for the minimum time necessary. unnecessary increases in temperature will notably reduce the duration of the frozen food conservation. Make sure that all frozen food packages are intact; otherwise the food may trave spoiled. If such packages present signs of swelling or humidity marks, this means that the food has not been conserved correctly, implying that the product has lost some of its original quality. When buying frozen foods, carry them in a thermally insulated shopping bag whenever possible. In any case, always purchase frozen foods at the end of your shopping. Wrap the frozen foods in newspaper and then put them into the freezer as soon as you arrive home. Always check the frozen foods you buy carefully at the moment of purchase, because even partiallythawed foods must not be re-frozen but must be consumed within 24 hours of purchase. The 4-star compartment is suitable for long term storage of commercially frozen food, and for freezing fresh food. To freeze fresh foods turn the fast freezing knob at least 24 hours before introducing the food into the freezer in order to ensure better freezing results. In order to freeze the quantity indicated on the rating plate, arrange the food directly in contact with the cooling surfaces. if the food is frozen in the baskets , the maximum quantity freezable is slightly less. Important In the event of accidental defrosting, for example due to a power failure, if the power has been off for longer that the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under Òrising timeÓ, the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooling). When the freezer is being turned on for the first time, or after a prolonged period of disuse, turn the N/S knob to the Quick-freezing position and then wait at least two hours before introducing the food to be conserved. This two-hour waiting period may be avoided if the freezer has already been in operation. To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should: if large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and baskets from appliance (except for the last one at the bottom) and place food on cooling shelves. Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated on the side of the upper section (where applicable). Frozen foods must be allowed to thaw out before use either in the refrigerator (meat, poultry, fish, etc. ) or at room temperature (ali other foods) according to the available time. Frozen products which come in small-sized or separate packages may be cooked directly without thawing; obviously, in this case, the cooking time will fast a little longer. [. . . ] ¥ The domestic refrigerators and freezers are designed to be used specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only. Best performance is obtained with ambient temperature between +18¡C and +43¡C (class T); +18¡C and +38¡C (class ST); +16¡C and +32¡C (class N); +10¡C and +32¡C (class SN). Warning: when the ambient temperature is not included within the range indicated for the class of this appliance, the following instructions must be observed: when the ambient temperature drops below the minimum level, the storage temperature in the freezer compartment cannot be guaranteed; therefore it is advisable to use the food stored as soon as possible. ¥ ¥ Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has been thawed out.
