If you would use maximum freezing capacity of your freezer:
• While freezing fresh foods, the maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen
in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance label.
• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, activate
Super Freeze (SF) mode 24 hours before placing fresh food into the freezer.
• After placing fresh food into the freezer, 24 hours is generally sufficient for freezing.
"Super Freeze" mode will be deactivated automatically in 2-3 days to save energy.
If you would freeze a small amount (up to 3 kg) in your freezer:
• Place your food without touching already frozen food and activate "Fast Freezing"
mode. You can put your food next to other frozen food after it is completely frozen (after
minimum 24 hours).
• Do not re-freeze frozen food after it has thawed. This may cause health issues, such as
food poisoning.
• Allow hot food to completely cool down before placing it in the freezer.
• When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures
and that the packing is intact.
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.
Important note:
• Never refreeze thawed frozen food.
• The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar,
assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.)
changes and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a long period of time.
Therefore, add small amounts of spices to food to be frozen, or the desired spice should
be added after the food has thawed.
• The storage time of food is dependent on the type of oil used. Suitable oils are margarine,
calf fat, olive oil and butter. Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
• Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen in
plastic folios or bags.
