• The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.
• To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface of the food as possible is in contact with the cooling
surface.
• Do not store fresh food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• Before freezing fresh food, divide it into portions that can be consumed in one sitting.
• Consume thawed frozen food within a short period of time after defrosting
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment as it will thaw the frozen food.
• Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on food packaging when storing frozen food. If no information is
provided food, should not be stored for more than 3 months from the date of purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it has been stored under appropriate conditions and that the
packaging is not damaged.
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and placed in the freezer as soon as possible.
• Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling. It is probable that
it has been stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.
• 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 home.
Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
• The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance label.
• To use the maximum capacity of the freezer compartment, use the glass shelves for the upper and middle
section, and use the lower basket for the bottom section.
• To use the maximum load capacity of your freezer, and to store large quantities of food, remove all drawers
except the bottom one. Large items can be stored directly on the shelves.
• 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. 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).
•
Attention
. To save energy, when freezing small amounts of food, reset the temperature to the previous value
as soon as the food is completely frozen.
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.
Important note:
• Never refreeze thawed frozen food.
• The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger,
garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a strong taste when they
are stored for a long period of time. Therefore, add small amounts of spices to food to be frozen, or the desired
spice should be added after the food has thawed.
• The storage time of food is dependent on the type of oil used. Suitable oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and
butter. Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
• Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.
