FREEZER COMPARTMENT
• Please use the deep freeze compartment of your refrigerator for storing the
frozen food for a long time and producing ice.
• Please place the food you would like to freeze initially in the upper basket of
the deep freeze in such a way that it shall not exceed the declared freezing
capacity of your refrigerator. Please do not place the food you shall newly
freeze nearby the already frozen food.. You may place your food next to the
other frozen food after they are frozen (for at least 24 hours).
• You should freeze the food you shall freeze (meat, minced meat, fish, etc.)
by dividing them into portions in such a way that they can be consumed
once.
• Please do not refreeze the frozen food once they are thawed. It may pose a
danger for your health since it might cause problems like food poisoning.
• Do not place the hot meals in your deep freeze before they are cold. You
would cause the other food frozen beforehand in the deep freeze to
become putrefied.
• As you buy frozen food, makes sure they were frozen under appropriate
conditions and that the package is not torn.
• While storing the frozen food, the storage conditions on the package
should certainly be observed. If there are no instructions, the food has to be
consumed in the shortest possible period of time.
• The frozen food has to be transported before it perishes and it should be
placed in the fast freezing shelf as soon as possible. Please do not use the
door shelves for freezing purposes.
• If the frozen food package has been humidified and it has a foul smell, the
food might have previously been stored under suitable conditions and
gone rotten. Please do not buy such food!
• The storage durations of frozen food change depending on the environment
temperature, the frequent opening and closing of the doors, thermostat
settings, food type and the length of period that elapsed from the time the
food was bought to the time it entered the freezer. Always abide by the
instructions on the package and never exceed the storage duration.
• During long lasting power cuts, please do not open the door of the deep
freeze compartment. Your refrigerator shall preserve your frozen food in
the environment condition of 25°C for about 12 hours. This value falls in
high environmental temperatures. During longer lasting power cuts, do not
refreeze your food and consume it as soon as possible.
Some recommendations have been specified on pages 12, 13 and 14 for the
placement and storage of your food in the deep freeze compartment.

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.

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.
