4.2 Freezer Compartment
For normal operating conditions, set the
temperature of the freezer compartment
to -18 or -20 °C.
• The freezer is used for storing frozen
food, freezing fresh food, and mak-
ing ice cubes.
• For freezing fresh food; wrap and
seal fresh food properly, that is the
packaging should be air tight and
shouldn’t leak.
Special freezer bags, aluminum foil
polythene bags and plastic contain-
ers are ideal.
• Do not store fresh food next to frozen
food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• Before freezing fresh food, divide it
into portions that can be consumed in
one sitting.
• Consume thawed frozen food within
a short period of time after defrosting
• Never place warm food in the freez-
er compartment as it will thaw the
frozen food.
• Always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions on food packaging when
storing frozen food. If no informa-
tion is provided food, should not be
stored for more than 3 months from
the date of purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make
sure that it has been stored under
appropriate conditions and that the
packaging is not damaged.
• Frozen food should be transported in
appropriate containers and placed in
the freezer as soon as possible.
• Do not purchase frozen food if the
packaging shows signs of humidity
and abnormal swelling. It is probable
that it has been stored at an unsuita-
ble temperature and that the contents
have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen food de-
pends on the room temperature, the
thermostat setting, how often the door
is opened, the type of food, and the
length of time required to transport
the product from the shop to your
home. Always follow the instructions
printed on the packaging and never
exceed the maximum storage life
indicated.
• The maximum amount of fresh food
(in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours
is indicated on the appliance label.
• To use the maximum capacity of the
freezer compartment, use the glass
shelves for the upper and middle
section, and use the lower basket for
the bottom section.
• 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. Fast
freezing shelf is the bottom drawer of
the freezer compartment.
