• If the freezer door has been left open for a long time or not closed properly, frost will form
and can prevent e󰀩cient 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 nd
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.
• 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.
The table below is a quick guide to show you the most e󰀩cient way to store the major
