Before placing any food in the freezer it is recommended to leave it 4 hours. This allows you to ensure
the freezer is working correctly and gives enough time to allow the temperature in the refrigerator to
drop to the correct level.
Using your Freezer
The ideal internal temperature of your freezer should be between -12˚C to -18˚C. Before turning on
the freezer, make sure that the temperature control, which is located at the back of the freezer is set
to NORMAL. Allow 4 hours before placing food in the freezer to allow the temperature to fall to the
correct level. If you wish to decrease the temperature in the freezer, turn the thermostat to the MAX
position and the internal freezer temperature will drop to -18˚C.
Your freezer must NOT be placed in a room where the temperature goes below 16˚C or above 32˚C for
prolonged periods, as the internal freezer temperature will not be maintained.
Precautions
The freezer is capable of producing very cold temperatures which may cause injury if safety precautions
are not observed.
Caution: Do not touch ice with bare hands as this could cause ice burns
• Do not attempt to freeze carbonated drinks suck as fizzy pop, mineral water, champagne etc, as the
bottles may break when frozen.
• The freezer must only be used for storing edible foodstuffs.
• Frozen food that has been thawed should not be re-frozen.
Storing Food in Your Freezer
Food which has been purchased frozen should be kept in its original packaging. Maximum storage times
and expiry dates are usually given on the food packaging.
• Do not attempt to re-freeze food that has thawed or partially thawed.
• When cooking food you must ensure it has thoroughly thawed, especially when dealing with
poultry and seafood.
• Do not overload the freezer and always allow space between the packages of food. This ensures
that cold air is free to circulate, preventing the food packaging from sticking together.
• When removing ice cubes, it may help to hold the tray under running water for a few seconds in
order to loosen the ice cubes.
• When freezing hot food allow it to cool before placing it in the freezer. Always store it away from
food which is already frozen.
• This freezer can freeze up to 2kg of food for 24 hours.
To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions
• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
• Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
• Clean water tanks if they have not been used for 48h; flush the water system connected to a water
supply if water has not been drawn for 5 days.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or
drip onto other food.

pre-frozen food, storing or making ice-cream and making ice cubes.
• One-, two- and three -star compartments (if they are presented in the appliance) are not suitable for
the freezing of fresh food.
