CHAPTER 3.
PLACING THE FOOD
• The freezer 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.
• W hile 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 the drawers (except the bottom one). You can
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.
• To use the maximum freezing capacity of your freezer move the frozen food in the
upper basket to other baskets and activate “Super freeze” mode. “Super freeze”
mode will be deactivated automatically after 24 hours. Place the food you want to
freeze to the upper basket of the freezer without exceeding the freezing capacity of
your freezer (your freezer has the capacity to freeze 15 kg at 25°C and 14 kg at 32°C)
Then reactivate the “Super freeze” mode. You can put your food next to other frozen
food after it is completely frozen (minimum 24 hours after “Super freeze” mode is
activated for the 2nd time).
• To freeze a small amount of food (up to 3 kg) in your freezer, place your food without
touching already frozen food and activate “Super freeze” 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 undamaged.
• 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.
