• 

It is not recommended that you operate your freezer in environments colder than 10°C.

• 

The temperature setting should be set by taking into consideration how often the freezer 

door is opened and closed, how much food is stored in the freezer and the environment 

in which and the positioning of the appliance.

• We recommend that when first using the freezer it should be left running for 24 hours 

uninterrupted  to ensure it is completely cooled. Do not open the freezer door, or put 

food inside for this period. 

• 

Your freezer has a 5 minute built in delay function, designed to prevent damage to the 

compressor. When power is applied to your freezer, it will begin to operate normally 

after 5 minutes.

• 

Your freezer is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the 

standards, according to the climate class stated in 

the information label. It is not recommended that 

your freezer is operated in the environments which 

are out of the stated temperature intervals in terms 

of cooling efficiency.

• 

This appliance is designed for use at an ambient 

temperature within the 10°C - 43°C range.

CHAPTER .3

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

• 

The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food, for storing frozen foods for the 

period of time indicated on packaging and for making ice cubes.

• Do not put fresh and warm food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• While freezing fresh foods (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat) divide them in portions you 

will use in a single serving.

• 

For storing frozen foods, the instructions shown on frozen food packages should always 

be followed carefully. If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more 

than 3 months from the purchased date.

• 

When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures 

and that the packing is intact.

• 

Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality 

of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest 

possible time.

• 

If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal swelling it is 

probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the 

contents have deteriorated.

• 

The storage life of frozen foods depends on the room temperature, 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.

• 

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 shelves are the bottom drawers of the freezer compartment (see page 

15).

• 

While freezing food use the bottom drawer.

Some recommendations have been specified on pages 9, 10 and 11 for the placement and 

storage of your food in the deep freeze compartment.
