The **** freezer section
The freezer section is suitable for storing and freezing food.
o The freezer section temperature must have already reached -18
degrees centigrade (or lower) before you attempt to store food
that is already frozen or freezing fresh food.
o The freezer section is only able to freeze a certain quantity of
fresh food at one time. The maximum amount of fresh food (in
kilograms) that can be frozen in a 24 hour period is 12 kg.
o Warm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt
to freeze it. If you place warm food in the freezer section, then
the increased humidity will cause quicker ice formation and
increase the amount of power that the appliance uses.
o The guidance of the food manufacturer should be followed, in
regard to the maximum storage time.
o Thawed foods must not be frozen for a second time.
