• The freezer compartments are designed to store only frozen
food.
• Never put hot or warm foods in the freezer, allow them to
cool fully before putting them into the freezer.
• Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage
of frozen food. If no information is provided, foods should
not be stored for more than three months after the purchase
date.
• Store food in small packages (ideally less than 2.5kg). This
reduces the freezing time and improves the quality of the
food after thawing.
• Wrap food before putting into the freezer. To stop the
wrapping sticking together, ensure it is dry.
• Label the food before freezing with information including
type of food and dates of storage and expiry.
• Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen unless it has
been completely cooked. Only defrost as much food as is
required to prevent wastage.
• Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the freezer
compartment as they could explode.
• Check the rating plate to confirm the maximum amount of
fresh food that can be frozen within a 24 hour period.
Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount.
Storage
The freezer is for short-mid term food storage. Although low
temperatures can be maintained, extended periods of food
storage is not recommended.
As the cold air circulates within the freezer, the temperature
can vary between the different sections. As such, foods should
be stored in different sections according to type and storage
term.
The bottom sections are the coldest parts of the freezer.
Fig. 1
The top two sections have raisable flaps that stay open for
ease of loading and unloading. The remaining 5 sections are
drawers.
The 6th setting on the control panel, represented by the
snowflake (Fig. 2), is a super freeze function. This should
be used when freezing large quantities of food all at once.
Activate this function 2 or 3 hours before introducing the food
and do not leave it to run for more than necessary.
Leaving it to run for longer will place unnecessary strain on the
cooling system. The function will automatically deactivate after
approximately 24 hours.
The most energy-saving configuration requires drawers, food
box and shelves to be positioned in the product, please refer
to the above pictures.
• It's suggested to set the temperature at -18°C in the freezer
compartment.
• For frozen food, refer to the storage time written on the
food packaging. This storage time is achieved whenever
the setting respects the reference temperatures of the
compartment (one-star -6°C, two stars -12°C, three stars
-18°C)
