- Frozen and deep-frozen food
  - Your domestic appliance enables you to freeze food: it lowers its core temperature rapidly and you can therefore keep it longer.
  - Deep-freezing is an industrial process that is quicker and more intense that domestic freezing. The products you purchase from the shops are deep-frozen.
- Preparing food for freezing
- m Freezing does not sterilise. It is therefore important to observe some simple hygiene rules when preparing your food for freezing: wash your hands before you touch the food and clean the kitchen tools you have just used before using them again.
- m Do not place bottles or jars containing liquids in the freezer unless they are only two-thirds full: freezing causes liquids to expand, which can cause the container to explode.

      - We recommend that you defrost meat completely before cooking it so as to avoid the exterior cooking quicker than the interior, except in the case of small breadcrumbed items, which can be sauted directly over a low to medium heat, and boiled meats.
    - Farmyard animals
      - Prepare them plucked/skinned, gutted, cut into pieces if necessary, washed and rinsed.
    - Game

    - Fish
  - Food freezing guide
    - Cooked food
      - The length of time you can store cooked dishes reduces if you use bacon or smoked ham to season dishes.
      - Put them directly on the hob or in the oven without defrosting them.
    - Vegetables
      - We recommend that you blanch the vegetables with steam so that they do not lose their vitamins and mineral salts in the cooking water. You therefore do not need to wait until they are dry before freezing them, just until they cool down.
      - In general, vegetables are better if they are cooked directly, without being frozen. Reduce the cooking time, taking into account the blanching time before freezing.
  - Food freezing guide
    - Fruits
      - Fruit must be covered with sugar or syrup, as appropriate. The amount of sugar to use is around 250g for 1 kilo of fruit. Syrups are used in varying percentages; these are prepared by boiling sugared water. The various concentrations are as follows:
      - - 30% solution, 450g of sugar per litre of water
      - - 40% solution, 650g of sugar per litre of water
      - - 50% solution, 800g of sugar per litre of water
        
        So that the fruit's colour does not change, place it in lemon juice before covering it with sugar or pour lemon juice into the s...
    - Bread
      - This can be kept for 2 months. Defrost in an oven set to 50C, switching it on after inserting the bread.
    - Butter and cheese
      - Freeze butter and cheese by dividing them up into pieces for weekly consumption.
      - Butter and hard cheese (e.g. Parmesan) can be kept for 8 months, other cheese 4 months. They must be defrosted in the refrigerator, keeping an eye on the condensation that forms on these products.
  - Arranging food in your freezer
    - Do not put fresh food next to food that has already been frozen to avoid causing the frozen food to warm up.
      - e The maximum weight of food that you can freeze over 24 hours is shown on the information plate (inside your appliance's refrigerator section near the bottom of the left-hand wall) under the heading: "CAPACITE DE CONGELATION/FREEZING CAPACITY (kg/24h)".
  - Quick freeze
  - Defrosting food
    - You can defrost food in five different ways:
    - - By putting them in refrigerator for several hours
    - - By leaving them to defrost gently at ambient temperature
    - - In a conventional oven at a very low temperature (40/50C)
    - - In a microwave oven
    - - By cooking them immediately
    - Defrosting them in the refrigerator is the slowest but safest method.
      - m Never refreeze food once it has defrosted, even partially, without cooking it first.
      - m We would advise you not to place any items you have just taken out of the freezer straight into your mouth (ice cream, ice cub...
  - Defrosting your freezer
- m Never use a heater, hairdryer or any other electrical appliance nor any knives or other metal objects to speed up defrosting: you could damage your appliance irremediably.
  - Ongoing maintenance of your appliance
    - c Disconnect your appliance prior to performing any maintenance operation. Grasp the plug directly, instead of pulling on the power cable.
    - Cleaning your appliance
      - m We recommend that you clean and disinfect your appliance regularly for improved hygiene and to keep your food completely safe.
      - - Remove all the food from the freezer. Place it in isothermic bags or wrap it in newspaper and store it in a cool place.
      - - Clean your appliance inside and out with a bicarbonate of soda solution (1 dessertspoon of bicarbonate to 4 litres of water). Do not use alcohol, scouring powder or detergents, which could damage the surfaces.
        
        m Do not use a high-pressure steam cleaner. The very hot steam could damage the surfaces and the electrical circuits; you would expose yourself to a risk of electrocution.
      - - Rinse with water, dry with a cloth.
      - - Don't forget to clean the condenser from time to time: this is at the back of the appliance (see the section on "Description of your appliance"). Use a dry paintbrush to do this or, better yet, your vacuum cleaner.
      - - Reconnect your appliance, and adjust the temperature if necessary, as shown in the section on "Adjusting your freezer's temperature ", and press the "Quick Freeze" button.
      - - Wait 3 or 4 hours before placing the food back in your appliance.
      - - After 24 hours, release the "Quick Freeze" button to stop this operation.
  - Clearit
    - To keep your appliance in good working order, we recommend that you use Clearit household products.
