Use To keep and freeze foods properly: • pack fruit and vegetables in portions of no more than 1 kg; meat and fish in portions of up to 2 kg. • small packages freeze quickly which means that the foods' nutritional properties are preserved better, including after defrosting/preparation. • package foods in hermetically sealed packages, expelling air as much as possible. • Do not use paper bags or shopping bags, use the suitable freezer bags/ containers.

In order to maintain the preset temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer compartments, the compressor comes into operation in response to the level of cooling required, and may operate continuously if necessary. When the compressor starts to function, it creates a buzzing noise which generally diminishes in intensity after a few minutes.
