2. The basket comes complete with a separator panel,
which splits the basket it into 2 areas. The smaller area
of the basket (to be positioned below the fan), must
be left empty in order to allow the fan to operate
properly. Place the food to be frozen in the larger
section of the basket (to be positioned towards the
front of the appliance).
3. Close the lid.
4. Activate the Turbo Freeze function from the control
panel, holding down button (4) for around 3 seconds.
The yellow indicator lamp (2) lights up. The lit yellow
indicator lamp (2) indicates that the function is active.
The function is deactivated automatically after the time
required to freeze food properly has elapsed (approx.
6 hours).
When the Turbo Freeze indicator lamp switches off, it
means that the function is no longer active, and that food
can be removed from the basket. When the function is
deactivated, the yellow indicator lamp (2) switches off and
the previously selected temperature setting is restored.
Note:
- When the function is active, it is perfectly normal for the
appliance to produce a more audible running noise.
- When the function has been activated, it can be
deactivated manually by pressing button (4) again for
around 3 seconds.

FREEZING FOOD
Preparing fresh food for freezing
• Wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film,
air and water-tight plastic bags, polyethylene containers
with lids, provided they are suitable for freezing foods.
• Food must be fresh, mature and prime quality.
• Fresh vegetables and fruit should preferably be frozen
as soon as they are picked to maintain the full original
nutritional value, consistency, colour and flavour.
• Always leave hot food to cool before placing in the
appliance.
Freezing fresh food
• Place foods to be frozen in direct contact with the walls
of the appliance:
A) - food to be frozen,
B) - food already frozen.
• Avoid placing foods to be frozen in direct contact with
food already frozen.
• For better and faster freezing, foods should be split into
small portions; this will also be useful when the frozen
items are to be used.
1. At least 24 hours before storing fresh food in the
appliance, activate fast freezing ("Shopping") by
repeatedly pressing button (4) until both green
indicator lights (3) flash.
2. Place the food to be frozen inside the appliance and
keep the lid closed for 24 hours. Food will be fully
frozen after this period of time.
The fast freezing function ("Shopping") can be deactivated
by pressing button (4) and selecting a different
temperature setting.
If the function is not deactivated manually, the appliance
automatically deactivates the function after 50 hours,
restoring the last setting selected (which was active for at
least 1 minute) before the "Shopping" setting was selected.
FOOD STORAGE
Refer to the table on the appliance.
Classification of frozen foods
Load and classify the frozen foods; it is advisable to
indicate the storage date on the packs, to ensure
consumption before the expiry dates listed in months in
Fig. 6 for each type of food.
