- insert fresh food into the freezing compartment.
Before placing the food in the appliance, cool it to room
temperature. Make sure the fresh food is not in contact with the
food that is already frozen.
• Maximum amount of fresh food that may be inserted at once is
specifi ed on the appliance rating plate.
• If the amount of food to be frozen exceeds the indicated
amount, the quality of freezing will be inferior; in addition, the
quality of the food already frozen will deteriorate.
• If you need to freeze a large amount of food, repeat the
freezing process several times.
• When freezing smaller quantities of food (1-2 kilograms),
activating the super freeze function is not required.
• After the end of the freezing process, rotate the
A
dial back
to the desired setting, even if the
B
signal light is not on (this
means that suffi ciently low temperature has already been
reached.

Storage time for frozen food depends on the composition of the
food, quality, expiration date, etc. High fat content in particular
will shorten the maximum storage time. Thus, lean meat may
be stored in the freezer for up to 12 months, while fatty meat
will only keep 4 to 6 months. Store the food in tightly sealed
containers or appropriate packaging.
Factory frozen food
Duration and temperature of storage for factory frozen food are
indicated on the packaging.
- Only choose appropriately packaged food.
- Protect the food from defrosting; temperature increase will
shorten maximum storage time of frozen food.
Use the partially or completely defrosted food as soon as
possible.
Partial thawing decreases the nutritive value of the food,
particularly fruit, vegetables, and ready-to-eat food.
