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.
• 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.
• The freezer volume stated on the label is the volume without baskets, covers, and so on.
• Do not refreeze thawed food. It may pose a danger to your health and cause problems
such as food poisoning.
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.
• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and any other food which needs to
be frozen quickly) more quickly because of the freezing shelf’s greater freezing power.
Fast freezing shelf is the upper shelf of the freezer compartment.
The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major
