Arranging Food in the Appliance
The freezer is used for freezing fresh foods
and for storing frozen foods for the period
of time indicated on the packaging, and for
making ice cubes.
• For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh
food properly - the packaging should be
airtight and should not leak. Special freezer
bags, aluminium foil (heavy grade; if in doubt
doublewrap), polythene bags, and plastic
containers are ideal.
• While freezing food, the maximum amount
of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24
hours is indicated on the appliance label.
• For optimum appliance performance in
maximum freezing capacity, turn knob to the
"5" position when placing fresh food in the
freezer.
• After placing fresh food in the freezer, the 24
hours setting on the "5" position is generally
sufficient. After 24 hours, reset the thermostat
to the desired position (Recommendation).
Note that; if you want to open again immediately
after closing the freezer door, it will not be opened
easily. It’s quite normal! After reaching equilibrium
condition, the door will be opened easily.
• Attention: in order to save energy, when
freezing small amounts of food the fast freze
function can be deactivated.
• Do not allow fresh food to be frozen to come
into contact with already frozen food.
• Always mark the date and the content on the
pack and do not exceed the stated storage
time.
• In case of a power failure or malfunction,
the freezer compartment will maintain a suffi
ciently low temperature for food storage.
However, avoid opening the freezer door
in order to slow down the temperature rise
within the freezer compartment.
• The maximum amount of fresh foods that
can be loaded in the freezer within 24 hours
is indicated on the name plate (see Freezing
Capacity).
• Never place warm food in the freezer
compartment.
• When purchasing and storing frozen food
products, ensure that the packaging is not
damaged.
• Storage time and recommended temperature
for storing frozen food is indicated on the
packaging. For storing and usage, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. If no information
is provided, food should not be stored for
more than 3 months.
• Following purchase, place frozen food in the
freezer compartment as soon as possible.
• Once food is thawed it must not be refrozen;
you must cook it as quickly as possible for
consumption or freeze once again.
• When making ice cubes, fi ll the ice tray with
water and place in the freezer compartment.
After the water has completely turned into ice,
twist the tray to get the ice cubes out.
Storage: if you want to use the freezer’s maximum
net capacity, remove the drawers and store the
items directly on the cooling tubes. This will
enable you to make use of the entire volume of
the compartment.
Tips for Saving Energy
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated
room, but not in direct sunlight or near heat
sources (radiators, cooker, etc....).
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down
before placing in the appliance.
3. When placing food in the appliance they must
be covered.
4. When placing food, open the appliance door
as briefly as possible.
5. Keep closed the covers of any different
temperature compartments in the appliance
(baskets... etc ).
6. Door seals should be kept clean and
undamaged.
