• 

The symbols show different types of frozen 

goods.

•  The numbers indicate storage times in 

months for the appropriate types of frozen 

goods. Whether the upper or lower value of 

the indicated storage time is valid depends 

on the quality of the foods and treating 

before freezing.

Freezing fresh food

•  The freezer compartment is suitable for 

freezing fresh food and storing frozen and 

deep-frozen food for a long time. 

•  To freeze the maximum amount of food, 

super freezing function needs to be 

activated. To activate the super freezing 

function, please read 

Super freezing 

function

. 

•  The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during 

this period do not add other food to be 

frozen. 

Storage of frozen food

• 

When first starting-up or after a period out 

of use, before putting the products in the 

compartment let the appliance run at least 

2 hours on the colder setting. 

•  Successful freezing depends on the correct 

packaging. When you close and seal the 

package you must not allow air or moisture 

in or out. If you do, you could have food 

odour and taste transfer throughout the 

refrigerator, and also dry out frozen food.

•  Note: 

Never put bottled food or drinks in 

the freezer compartment.

•  For best performance, leave enough 

space in the freezer compartment for air 

to circulate around the packages. Also let 

enough room at the front so the door can 

close tightly.

Warning!

 In the event of accidental 

defrosting, for example due to a power 

failure, if the power has been off for longer 

than the value shown in the technical 

characteristics chart under “rising time”, 

the defrosted food must be consumed 

quickly or cooked immediately, cooled and 

then re-frozen.

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, 

can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment 

or at room temperature, depending on the time 

available for this operation.
