Storage time and temperature of
foods
The storage time chart at the end of the instruction book
gives information about storage time.
The storage time can not be determined exactly in advance,
as it depends on the freshness and handling of the cooled
food. That is why the storage time made known is only
informative.
If you do not want to use up deep-frozen foods bought
immediately they can be stored for about 1 day (until
dissolving) in the refrigerator.

How to use the freezer

Freezing

The appliance can be used to freeze fresh food of
quantity specified on the data label. Freezing different
products should always be done after proper
preparing as follows.
Set the thermostat knob to a medium position.
Put the previously frozen food - or some of it - to
another basket or baskets. Put the fresh food into the
upper basket, leaving enough space for airflow. If
there is some previously frozen food left in the upper
basket, put this food into the back of the basket
avoiding the contact between the fresh food and the
already frozen food.
Run the appliance this way for 24 hours.
After 24 hours set the thermostat knob according to
your choice or leave it in a medium position, which is
in general appropriate for everyday cooling needs.
Should you want to freeze the quantity declared by the
producer, remove the upper basket from the
appliance and put the fresh food uniformly distributed
directly on the cooling surface.
Setting the thermostat knob to a higher (e.g.
maximum) position is not recommended.
Although doing so would make the freezing time
shorter, on the other hand the temperature of the
fridge compartment may go permanently below 0°C,
what yields freezing the food and drinks stored there.
Never freeze food in bigger quantity than
given in the 'Technical data' at the same
time, otherwise freezing will not be thorough and
after dissolving various deterioration may take
place (losing taste and aroma, lysing, etc.).
