o
For optimum appliance performance and to reach maximum
freezing capacity, turn the thermostat dial to the <SF> position
when placing fresh food in the freezer.
o
After placing fresh food in the freezer, 24 hours on <SF> mode
is generally sufficient. After 24 hours you should deactivate the
<SF> mode by turning the thermostat back to its normal
position.
o
IMPORTANT: In order to save energy, when freezing small
amounts of food, the <SF> function is not necessary.
o
Do not allow the fresh food to be frozen to come into contact
with the already frozen food.
o
Always mark the date and content on the pack and do not
exceed the stated storage time.
o
In case of power failure or malfunction, the freezer compartment
will maintain a sufficiently low temperature for food storage for a
period of time. However, avoid opening the freezer door to slow
down the temperature rise within the freezer compartment.
o
Never place warm food into the freezer compartment.
o
When purchasing and storing frozen food products, ensure that
the packaging is not damaged.
o
The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing
frozen foods are indicated on the packaging. For storing and
using, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. If no information is
provided the food should not be stored for longer than 3 months.
o
Place the frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as
possible after buying it.
o
Once the food is thawed, it must not be refrozen. You must
cook it as quickly as possible in order to consume or to freeze it
once again.
o
If you want to use the maximum capacity, you can remove the
drawers and store the items directly on the cooling tubes. This
will enable you to make use of the entire volume of the
compartment but you must ensure you do not overload the
freezer as this will affect the performance.
o
Do not open the freezer door too often or leave the door open
for long periods of time, as this will increase the temperature
inside of the appliance and will increase the energy usage.
