Food Storage
• The freezer is used for storing frozen food,
freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.
• To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much
of the surface of the food as possible is in
contact with the cooling surface.
• 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.
• For optimum appliance performance to
reach maximum freezing capacity, set the
freezer thermostat at 4 - 5 for 24 hours before
placing fresh food into the freezer.
• After placing fresh food into the freezer,
change the setting to 4 - 5 for 24 hours is
generally sufficient. After 24 hours, you can
reduce the setting if required.
• Attention.
To save energy, if you are only
freezing small amounts of food, do not set
the thermostat knob to the coldest setting.
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.
