You can use the appliance to freeze fresh
food as well as to store food that has
already been frozen.
Please follow the recommendations on the
packaging of your food.
Caution:
Do not freeze carbonated beverages as the
bottle may burst if the liquid inside freezes.
Be careful with frozen products such as
colored ice cubes.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your
unit within 24 hours. Refer to the name-
plate.
To preserve food quality, freezing should be
done as soon as possible.
This will ensure that the freezing capacity
is not exceeded and that the temperature in
the freezer does not rise.
Caution:
Always store already frozen foods separ-
ately from newly frozen foods.
If you freeze hot food, the refrigeration
compressor will run until the food is com-
pletely frozen. This may temporarily over
cool the freezer compartment.
Do not worry if you have difficulty opening
the freezer door immediately after closing
it. This is due to the pressure difference,
which will equalize after a few minutes and
allow the door to open normally.
Immediately after closing the door, you will
hear a vacuum sound. This is quite normal.
Defrosting the Appliance
Excessive ice build-up will affect the freez-
ing performance of your appliance.
Therefore, it is recommended to defrost
your appliance at least twice a year or when
more than 7 mm of ice has accumulated.
Defrost your appliance when there is little
or no food in it.
Remove frozen foods from the drawers.
Wrap frozen foods in several layers of pa-
per or a blanket and store them in a cool
place.
To start defrosting, unplug the appliance or
turn off the circuit breaker.
Remove the accessories (shelves, drawers,
etc.) from the appliance and use a suitable
container to collect the defrost water.
If necessary, use a sponge or soft cloth to
remove the defrost water.
Leave the door open during defrosting.
To speed up defrosting, place containers of
warm water inside the unit.
Never use electrical appliances, de-icing
sprays or sharp objects such as knives or
forks to remove ice.
Clean the inside of the unit after the de-
frosting process.
Reconnect the appliance to the mains.
Place the frozen food in the drawers and
slide the drawers into the freezer compart-
ment.
8.2 Freezing Fresh Foods
• Foods to be frozen must be divided into
portions according to a size to be con-
sumed, and frozen in separate packages.
In this way, all the food should be preven-
ted from being re-frozen by thawing.
• In order to protect the nutritional value,
the aroma and the colour of the foods as
much as possible, vegetables should be
boiled for a short period of time before
freezing. (Boiling is not necessary for
foods such as cucumber, parsley.) Cook-
ing time of the vegetables frozen in this
way is shortened by 1/3 than that of the
fresh vegetables.
• To extend the storage times of frozen
foods, boiled vegetables must first be
filtered and then hermetically packaged
as in the all types of foods.
• Foods should not be placed in the freezer
compartment without package.
• The packaging material of the food to be
stored should be air-tight, thick and dur-
able and should not deform with cold and
humidity. Otherwise, the food that is
hardened by freezing might pierce the
package. Sealing the package well is also
important in terms of securely storing the
food.
