4.2 Freezer Compartment
For normal operating conditions, set the
temperature of the freezer compartment to
-18 or -20
o
C.
• The freezer compartment is used for
freezing fresh food, for storing frozen
food, and for making ice cubes.
• If the freezer door has been left open for
a long time or not closed properly, frost
will form and can prevent efficient air
circulation. To resolve this, unplug the
freezer and wait for it to defrost. Clean
the freezer once it has fully defrosted.
• Remove baskets, covers, and so on, to
increase the storage volume of freezer.
• The freezer volume stated on the label is
the volume without baskets, covers, and
so on.
IMPORTANT
• Do not refreeze thawed food. It may
pose a danger to your health and cause
problems such as food poisoning.
• Do not put warm food in the deep freeze
compartment until it has completely
cooled. It will thaw already frozen food,
which may then rot.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure
it has been stored under appropriate
conditions and the packaging is not
damaged.
• Do not purchase frozen food if the
packaging shows signs of humidity or if it
has a foul odour. The food may not have
been stored correctly and may have gone
rotten.
• The storage life of frozen food depends
on the room temperature, the 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 freezer. Always follow the
instructions printed on the packaging and
never exceed the maximum storage life
indicated.
NOTE: Remove frozen food from the
freezer the day before consumption,
and put in the bottom compartment of
the refrigerator. This helps reduce the
temperature in the refrigerator, which in turn
saves energy. If the frozen food defrosts in
an open area, energy loss will occur.
NOTE:
If you attempt to open the freezer
door immediately after closing it, you
will find that it will not open easily. This
is normal. Once equilibrium has been
reached, the door will open easily.
