Maximum quantity of fresh food that can be
introduced into the appliance at a time is indicated
on the label with basic information on the appliance.
If this quantity is exceeded, freezing quality will
deteriorate, as will the quality of the already frozen
food.
• Activate the freezer power boost 24 hours before freezing
fresh food:
-
rotate the
A
dial towards the thickest part of the marking;
After 24 hours, place the fresh food into the freezing area /
compartments. Fresh food should not be in contact with the
frozen food already in the freezer!
• When freezing a minor quantity of food (1-2 kg), activating the
Super Freeze function is not necessary.
• After 24 hours, the food can be moved to other parts of
the freezers and the freezing process can be repeated as
required.
• After the freezing process, rotate the
A
dial back to the desired
setting.
The freezer should only be used for freezing food that
is appropriate for freezing. The food should always be
fresh and of adequate quality.
Choose an appropriate packaging for the food and
package it correctly.
The packaging should be airtight and watertight to
prevent loss of humidity or vitamins from the food.
Indicate the type of food, quantity, and freezing date
on each food package.
It is important that the food is frozen as quickly as
possible; therefore, smaller packages should be
preferred. Before freezing, the food should be cooled.
• When storing or using frozen food, observe the manufacturer’s
instructions. Temperature and best before date are indicated
on the packaging.
• Only choose food with undamaged packaging, stored in
freezers at temperatures of -18°C or lower.
• Do not buy a food package covered with frost, as this is a sign
that the food has been slightly thawed several times. Such
food is of lesser quality.
• When transporting frozen food, prevent it from defrosting /
thawing. Higher temperature will result in shorter storage time
and deteriorated food quality.
