Freezer compartment
• The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food, for storing frozen foods for the
period of time indicated on packaging and for making ice cubes.
• Do not put fresh and warm foods in the freezer door shelves to be frozen. Only use the
door shelves for storing frozen foods.
• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, Set the re-
frigerator at 4
o
C for 24 hours before placing fresh food into the freezer.
• After placing fresh food into the freezer, change the setting to 2
o
C for 24 hours is gener-
ally sufcient. After 24 hours, you can reduce the setting if required.
• Do not put fresh and warm food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and any other food which needs to
be frozen quickly) more quickly because of the freezing shelf’s greater freezing power.
• While freezing fresh foods (i.e. meat, sh and mincemeat) divide them in portions you
will use in a single serving.
• While freezing fresh foods, 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 to reach maximum freezing capacity, turn the
thermostat knob to the coldest setting 24 hours before placing fresh food into the
freezer.
• After placing fresh food into the freezer, having the thermostat knob set to the coldest
setting for 24 hours is generally sufcient. After 24 hours, you can reduce the thermostat
knob setting if required.
• Attention. To save energy, if you are only freezing small amounts of food, you do not
need to set the thermostat knob to the coldest setting.
• For storing frozen foods, the instructions shown on frozen food packages should always
be followed carefully. If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more
than 3 months from the purchased date.
• When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures
and that the packing is intact.
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality
of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest
possible time.
• If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal swelling it is
probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the
contents have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen foods depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting,
how often the door is opened, the type of food and the length of time required to
