OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS
The time of storage of the frozen products depends on their quality when fresh, before fre-
ezing and on the storage temperature.
The following storage periods are recommended when the temperature of -18°C or lower is
maintained:
l
Bear in mind that the temperature in the
freezer is affected by several factors,
including the ambient temperature and
the quantities of food products in the
chamber, frequency of opening the door,
amount of frost in the freezer, and the
thermostat setting.
l
If you cannot open the freezer door
immediately after closing it, allow 1-2
minutes for negative pressure to com-
pensate, and retry opening the door.
l
Keep the fresh and warm foodstuff at am-
bient temperature away from the products,
which have already been frozen.
l
We advise not to place more than 2 kg of
fresh food at a time to the freezer per day
(see table on page 22).
l
In order to maintain good quality of the
frozen food, reorganise the food that is in
the middle of the freezer, so that it does not
touch the products that are not frozen yet.
l
It is recommended to move the already
frozen products to one side and place the
fresh products that are to be frozen to the
opposite side, as close to the rear and side
walls as possible.

To free products, use space marked
