Arranging And Storing Food In The Fridge Section - Baumatic HUZ107.1 User Manual

o On the maximum settings (position <5>), your fridge will work
harder to maintain a lower temperature and will increase the
energy usage. There is no need to run your appliance on this
setting for prolonged periods and you should return the
thermostat knob to between <3> to <4>.
Arranging and storing food in the freezer
o The freezer should be used for freezing fresh foods and for
storing frozen foods for the period of time indicated on the
packaging and for making ice cubes.
o For freezing fresh food, wrap and seal fresh food properly. The
packaging should be air tight and should not leak. Special
freezer bags, aluminium foil (heavy grade or double wrap),
polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.
o The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen in 24
hours is 9 kg.
o For optimum appliance performance and to reach maximum
freezing capacity, turn the thermostat dial to the <5> position
when placing fresh food in the freezer.
o After placing fresh food in the freezer, 24 hours on setting <5>
is generally sufficient. After 24 hours you should turn the
thermostat back to its normal position.
o IMPORTANT: In order to save energy, when freezing small
amounts of food, setting <5> is not necessary.
o Do not allow the fresh food to be frozen to come into contact
with the already frozen food.
o Always mark the date and content on the pack and do not
exceed the stated storage time.
o In case of power failure or malfunction, the freezer compartment
will maintain a sufficiently low temperature for food storage for
approximately 18 hours. However, avoid opening the freezer
door to slow down the temperature rise within the freezer
compartment.
o Never place warm food into the freezer compartment.
o When purchasing and storing frozen food products, ensure that
the packaging is not damaged.
