Freezing Fresh Food
Place fresh food to be frozen near the side walls to ensure fast freezing and away from already
frozen food, if possible.
Freezing capacity of your appliance in a 24 hours period is 5 kg (10lb).
Never exceed this maximum capacity. Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The
quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the center as quickly as
possible.
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
It’s suggested to set the temperature at 4°C in the fridge compartment, and, whether
possible, at -18°C in the freezer compartment.
For most food categories, the longest storage time in the fridge compartment is
achieved with colder temperatures. Since some particular products (as fresh fruits and
vegetables) may be damaged with colder temperatures, it is suggested to keep them in
the crisper drawers, whenever present. If not present, maintain an average setting of
the thermostat.
