• To get maximum capacity for freezer compartment, please just use glass shelves for upper and middle
section. For bottom section, please use lower basket.
• The maximum amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is indicated on the
name plate (see Freezing Capacity).
• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and any other food
which needs to be frozen quickly)
more quickly because of the freezing shelf’s greater freezing power. Fast freezing shelf is the bottom drawer
of the freezer compartment.
• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, set the refr
igerator 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.
• Do
not allow the fresh food to be frozen to come into contact with the already frozen food.
• Always mark the date and the content on the pack and do not exceed the stated storage time.
• In case of a power failure or malfunction, the freezer
compartment will maintain a sufficiently low
temperature for food storage. However, avoid opening the freezer door to slow down the temperature rise
within the freezer compartment.
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment.
• When purchasing and s
toring frozen food products, ensure that the packaging is not damaged.
• The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing frozen food is indicated on the packaging.
For storing and using, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. If no informatio
n is provided, food should not
be stored for more than 3 months.
• Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after buying it.
• Once the food has thawed, it must not be refrozen; you must cook it as quickly as possible in order to
consume or to freeze once again.
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:
• Frozen fo
ods, when thawed, should be cooked just like fresh foods. If they are not cooked after being
thawed they must NEVER be re-frozen.
• 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. Therefore, the frozen food should be added little amount of spices or the
desired spice should be added after the food has been thawed.
• The storage period of food is dependent on the oil used. The suitable oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil
and butter and the unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
• The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and the other
food should be frozen in plastic folios
or bags.
Some recommendations have been specified on pages 16 and 17 for the placement and storage of your food
in the deep freeze compartment.
