Storage in the freezer compartment
► Keep the freezer temperature at- 18°C.
► Switch on the Power-Freeze function 24 hours before freezing food; 4-6 hours will be sufficient
for small quantities of food.
► Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the freezer compartment.
► Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and be easier to defrost and cook. The recommended
weight for each portion is less than 2.5 kg
► It is best to pack food before putting it into the freezer. The outside of the packaging must be
dry so that bags will not stick together. Packaging materials should be odour-free, airtight, non-
poisonous and nontoxic.
► In order to prevent food from expiring, please make a note of the freezing date, time limit and
name of the food on the packaging, according to the recommended storage periods for
different foods.
► WARNING!: Acid, alkali, salt, etc. could erode the inside surface of the freezer. Do not place
food containing these substances (such as seafood) directly on the inner surface of the freezer.
Salt water in the freezer must be cleaned up immediately.
► Do not exceed the food storage times recommended by manufacturers. Take only the
required amount of food out of the freezer.
► Consume defrosted food quickly. Defrosted food cannot be frozen again unless it is cooked first.
► Do not put excessive quantities of fresh food in the freezer compartment. Refer to the freezing
capacity of the freezer - See TECHNICAL DATA or the data on the type plate.
► Food may be stored in the freezer at a temperature of at least -18°C for 2 to 12 months,
depending on its properties (e.g., meat: 3-12 months, vegetables: 6-12 months)
► When freezing fresh food, avoid contact with food that is already frozen, as this may cause it to thaw.
When storing commercially frozen foods, please follow these guidelines:
► Always follow the manufacturers' guidelines for the length of time you should store food in the
freezer. Do not exceed these guidelines!
► Try to keep the length of time between purchase and storage as short as possible to preserve
food quality.
► Buy frozen foods which have been stored at a temperature of -18 °C or below.
► Avoid buying food which has ice or frost on the packaging - This indicates that the products
might have been partially defrosted and frozen again at some point. Temperature rises affect
the quality of food.
Notice
► Please maintain a distance of more than 10 mm between food and the air duct to ensure cooling.
