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.

• 

For optimum appliance performance 

to reach maximum freezing capacity, 

set the refrigerator thermostat at 4 - 5 

for 24 hours before placing fresh food 

into the freezer. 

• 

After placing fresh food into the 

freezer, change the setting to 4 - 5 for 

24 hours is generally sufficient. After 

24 hours, you can reduce the setting 

if required.

• 

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 shef 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.

• 

The storage time of food is dependent 

on the type of oil used. Suitable oils 

are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and 

butter. Unsuitable oils are peanut oil 

and pig fat.

• 

Food in liquid form should be frozen in 

plastic cups and other food should be 

frozen in plastic folios or bags.

show you the most efficient way to
