ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE
• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen food for long periods of time and
making ice cubes.
• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and the food which is wanted to
freeze) more quickly because of the freezing room’s greater freezing power. Fast
freezing shelves are the middle drawers of the freezer compartment (see in page
51).
• Do not put fresh and warm food to the freezer door shelves to be frozen. Only use for
storage of frozen food.
• Do not put fresh and warm food with frozen food side by side as it can thaw the frozen
food.
• W hile freezing fresh food (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat) divide them in parts in
order to use in one time.
• For storing the frozen food ; the instructions shown on frozen food packages should
always be followed carefully and if no information is provided, food should not be
stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date.
• 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 the sign 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 food 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 package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
• While freezing food; Maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24
hours is indicated on the appliance label.

thermostat knob to position 5 / 24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer

reset the thermostat to desired position.
Attention; In order to save energy, W hen freezing small amounts of food, reset the
thermostat to desired position. (Recommendation)
Turning On The Appliance

should work 24 hours continuously until it cools down to sufficient temperature.
• In this time do not open the door so often and place a lot of food inside the appliance.
• If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before
restarting or re-plugged the unit in order not to damage the compressor.
