• 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 unsuitable temperature and
that the contents have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen food
depends 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.
NOTE: If you attempt to open the
freezer door immediately after
closing it, you will find that it will not
open easily. This is normal. Once
equilibrium has been reached, the
door will open easily.
Important note:
• Never refreeze thawed frozen food.
• The taste of some spices found in
cooked dishes (anise, basilica,
watercress, vinegar, assorted spices,
ginger, garlic, onion, mustard,
thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.)
changes and they assume a strong
taste when they are stored for a long
period of time. Therefore, add small
amounts of spices to food to be
frozen, or the desired spice should
be added after the food has thawed.
• The storage time of food is
dependent on the type of oil used.
Suitable oils are margarine, calf fat,
olive oil and butter. Unsuitable oils
are peanut oil and pig fat.
• Food in liquid form should be frozen
in plastic cups and other food
should be frozen in plastic folios or
bags.
