PART 3.
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.
• 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.
• Maximum load; if you want to load large quantities and use the maximum net capacity,
you can remove the drawers (Except the bottom one).You can store bulky items directly
on the shelves
• 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. For optimum appliance performance to
reach maximum freezing capacity, turn the thermostat knob to position “5” / 24 hours
before placing fresh food in the freezer. 24 hours, position “5” would generally be
sufficient after placing fresh food in the freezer. After 24 hours, reset the thermostat to
the desired position.
• Attention; In order to save energy, when freezing small amounts of food, reset the
thermostat to the desired position.
For A+ models;
• If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the door. This will help maintain the
temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for about 16 hours
at 25°C ambient temperature and about 14 hours at 32°C ambient temperature. Do
not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been defrosted. These foods
must be cooked and eaten.
