The 

 freezer compartment 

 
The freezer compartment is suitable for storing and freezing food. 
 

o

The freezer compartment temperature must have already 
reached -18 degrees centigrade (or lower) before you attempt to 
store food that is already frozen or freezing fresh food. 

o

The freezer compartment is only able to freeze a certain quantity 
of food at one time. You should not attempt to freeze more than 
6 kilograms of fresh food within a 24 hour period. 

o

Preferably the top drawer should be used when freezing fresh 
food. Once the food is frozen, you can then transfer the food to 
the lower drawers. 

o

Warm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt 
to freeze it. If you place warm food in the freezer compartment, 
then the increased humidity will cause quicker ice formation and 
increase the amount of power that the appliance uses. 

o

The guidance of the food manufacturer should be followed, in 
regard to the maximum storage time. 

o

Thawed foods must not be frozen for a second time. 

 
Freezing fresh food 
 

o

To freeze the maximum quantity of fresh food 
specified above, you should turn the 
thermostat to position <7>, 24 hours prior to 
attempting freezing. 

o

For smaller quantities of fresh food, you 
should turn the thermostat to position <7>, 
approximately 6 hours prior to attempting 
freezing. 

o

Fresh food should be packed into airtight containers 
or packaging. This will help to make sure that the 
food doesn’t dry out or lose its flavour. It will also 
ensure that flavour does not transfer from other 
foods. 

o

The food should be placed on 
the freezer compartment’s base. Do not 
allow fresh food to touch items that are 
already frozen.
