5. OPERATING THE APPLIANCE

5.1 Dual Cooling System

Your refrigerator is equipped with two separate
cooling systems, one for the fresh food compartment
and one for the freezer compartment.
This way the air and odor in the fresh food
compartment and the frozen food compartment do
not mix.
Thanks to these two separate cooling systems, the
cooling speed is much higher than that of other
refrigerators. Also, it allows for additional power
savings, since defrosting is performed separately.

5.2 Freezing Fresh Food

> Wrap foods or place them in a covered container
before putting them in the refrigerator.
> Hot foods and beverages must have cooled down
to room temperature before you put them in the
refrigerator.
> The food that you want to freeze must be fresh
and in good condition.
> Divide the food into portions according to your
family's daily or meal-based consumption needs.
> Pack the foods in an airtight manner to prevent
them from drying out, even if they are only going to
be stored for a short time.
> Materials to be used for packaging must be tear-
proof and resistant to cold, humidity, odor, oils and
acids; they must also be airtight. Moreover, they
must be well sealed and made from easy-to-use
materials that are suitable for deep freezers.
> Frozen food must be used immediately after
thawing;it must never be refrozen.
> Do not freeze very large amounts of food at one
time. The quality of the food is best preserved when
it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as
possible.
> Placing warm food into the freezer compartment
causes the cooling system to run continuously until
the food is frozen solid.

5.3 Recommendations for Storing
Frozen Food
> Frozen foods you purchase must be stored in the
conditions and at the temperature determined by
the food manufacturer.
> To ensure that the high quality achieved by the
frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is
maintained, heed the following recommendations:
1. Put packages in the freezer as quickly as
possible after purchase.
2. Make sure that packages are labeled and dated.
3. Check whether or not the "Use By" or "Best
Before" date on the packaging has passed.
