• The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.
• For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly, that is the packaging should be air tight and
shouldn't leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.
• Do not store fresh food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• Before freezing fresh food, divide it into portions that can be consumed in one sitting.
• Consume thawed frozen food within a short period of time after defrosting
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment as it will thaw the frozen food.
• Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on food packaging when storing frozen food. If no
information is provided food, should not be stored for more than 3 months from the date of purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it has been stored under appropriate conditions and that
the packaging is not damaged.
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and placed in the freezer as soon as
possible.
• Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling. It is
probable that it has been stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat setting, how often
the door is opened, the type of food, and the length of time required to transport the product from the
shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the
maximum storage life indicated.
• The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance
label.
• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and any other food which needs to be frozen
quickly) more quickly because of the freezing shelf's greater freezing power. Fast freezing shelf is the
bottom drawer of the freezer compartment.
• To use the maximum load capacity of your freezer, and to store large quantities of food, remove all
drawers except the bottom one. Large items can be stored directly on the shelves.
• To use the maximum freezing capacity of your freezer move the frozen food in the upper basket to
other baskets and activate "Super freeze" mode. "Super freeze" mode will be deactivated automatically
after 24 hours. Place the food you want to freeze to the upper basket of the freezer without exceeding
the freezing capacity of your freezer. Then reactivate the "Super freeze" mode. You can put your food
next to other frozen food after it is completely frozen (minimum 24 hours after "Super freeze" mode
is activated for the 2nd time).
• To freeze a small amount of food (up to 3 kg) in your freezer, place your food without touching already
frozen food and activate "Super freeze" mode. You can put your food next to other frozen food after it
is completely frozen (after minimum 24 hours).
• Attention: To save energy, when freezing small amounts of food, reset the temperature to the previous
value as soon as the food is completely frozen.
NOTE:
If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you will find that it will not open easily.
This is normal. Once equilibrium has been reached, the door will open easily.
