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.
• If the freezer door has been left open for
a long time or not closed properly, frost
will form and can prevent efficient air
circulation. To resolve this, unplug the
freezer and wait for it to defrost. Clean
the freezer once it has fully defrosted.
• The freezer volume stated on the label is
the volume without baskets, covers, and
so on.
• Do not refreeze thawed food. It may
pose a danger to your health and cause
problems such as food poisoning.
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.
• 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.
• For optimum appliance performance to
reach maximum freezing capacity, turn
the thermostat knob to the coldest setting
24 hours before placing fresh food in the
freezer.
• It is generally sufficient to set the
thermostat to the coldest setting for a
further 24 hours after placing the fresh
food in the freezer. After this time, reduce
the thermostat knob setting if required.
• Attention. To save energy, if you are only
freezing small amounts of food, do not
set the thermostat knob to the coldest
setting.
