deep-frozen food for a long time.

of use. Before putting the product in the
compartment let the appliance be set in
super freezing mode.

storage time of freezer is no more than 1
month. The best storage time may reduce
under other settings.
Important! In the event of accidental de-
frosting, for example the power has been
off for longer than the value shown in the
technical characteristics chart under "rising
