PLACING THE FOOD
• The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food, for storing frozen foods for the
period of time indicated on packaging and for making ice cubes..
• Do not put fresh and warm food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• While freezing fresh foods (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat) divide them in portions you
will use in a single serving.
• For storing frozen foods, the instructions shown on frozen food packages should always
be followed carefully. If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more
than 3 months from the purchased date.
• Maximum load: if you want to store large quantities of food and use the maximum net
capacity of the freezer, you can remove all the sliding drawers but you should keep
the upper shelf flaps. Thanks to this, it is possible to store bulky items directly on the
shelves.
• When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures
and that the packing is intact.
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality of
the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest
possible time.
• If a package of frozen food shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling it is probable
that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents
have deteriorated..
• The storage life of frozen foods depends on the room temperature, 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.
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. (your refrigerator has the
capacity to freeze 25 kg at 25°C ambient)
• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, activate
Super Freeze (SF) mode 30 hours before placing fresh food into the freezer.
• After placing fresh food into the freezer, 30 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.
