Suitable storage periods

Food purchased in frozen condition: Follow the
advice on the maximum storage period indicated on
the packaging.
Fresh food frozen at home:
Fatty and salty food should not be kept frozen for
more than three months. Cooked food and low-fat
food may be kept up to about six months. Lean food
and berries can be kept for approximately one year.

Cabinet interior

Freezer drawers
The freezer drawers make it possible to quickly and
easily find the food package you want. To gain
space, the drawers can be removed and the products
can be put directly on the shelves. On all shelves,
except the top shelf, it is possible to place products
that protrude 20 mm from the front edge. This
allows maximum use of the available space.
Do not remove the bottom drawer. It is required to
assure proper air circulation.
Ice cubes
Fill the ice tray to max. 3/4 since water expands as it
freezes. Release the ice cubes by twisting the ice
tray.
If ice cubes are kept for a long time, they will dry
out and the taste is affected. Thus, throw away old
ice cubes and prepare new ones when needed.
Cold accumulator
The cold accumulator will keep the food cold for
longer after a power failure. The cold accumulator
will be most effective when placed on the top shelf.
When freezing large amounts of food/provisions, the
accumulator moves to on top of the food.

Hints and Tips

Saving energy

Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is
·
placed. See the section "Installation". When
installed correctly, the cabinet will consume less
energy.
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long
·
periods, or opening the door too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
·
door from closing properly.
Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure
·
safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of
the refrigeration unit
It is advisable to periodically clean the
·
refrigeration system at the back of the appliance
with a duster or vacuum cleaner.

Thawing

It is best to thaw foods in refrigerator. Place the
foodstuff on a plate with a raised edge to prevent
liquids from running out. To quickly thaw food,
place it in room temperature or in cold water. When
using a microwave oven to thaw foodstuff, follow
the manufacturer's instructions.
Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should
·
be placed in the fridge before being transfered to
the freezer.
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by
·
packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages
before placing them in the freezer.
Carefully follow the advice on freezing products
·
in the section "Using the freezer". This will
prevent wasting energy.
Do not set the temperature too low in the freezer.
·
A suitable temperature is in the range of -18°C
to -20°C .
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a
·
thickness of 3-5 mm.
Make sure the door gasket is complete and
·
always clean.
