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.
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.
