• The maximum amount of fresh food (in
kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is
indicated on the appliance label.
• 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
shelf is the bottom drawer of the freezer
compartment.
If you would use maximum freezing
capacity of your freezer:
• While freezing fresh foods, 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,
activate Super Freeze (SF) mode 24
hours before placing fresh food into the
freezer.
• After placing fresh food into the freezer,
24 hours is generally sufficient for
freezing. "Super Freeze" mode will be
deactivated automatically in 2-3 days to
save energy.
If you would freeze a small amount (up
to 3 kg) in your freezer:
• Place your food without touching already
frozen food and activate "Fast Freezing"
mode. You can put your food next to
other frozen food after it is completely
frozen (after minimum 24 hours).
• Do not re-freeze frozen food after it has
thawed. This may cause health issues,
such as food poisoning.
• Allow hot food to completely cool down
before placing it in the freezer.
• When buying frozen food ensure that
these have been frozen at suitable
temperatures and that the packing is
intact.
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.
