4.2 Freezer Compartment
For normal operating conditions, set the
temperature of the freezer
compartment to -18 or -20
• The freezer is used for storing frozen
food, freezing fresh food, and making
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 containers 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 freezer
compartment as it will thaw the
frozen food.
• Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions on food packaging when
storing frozen food. If no information
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 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.
