7.1 Storing Food in the Freezer and
Cooler Compartment
Storing food in the freezer compartment
• You can activate Quick Freezing function
4-6 hours before freezing function and
perform a faster cooling.
• Bring hot meals to the room temperature
before placing them in the freezer com-
partment.
• Foods to be frozen must be divided into
portions according to a size to be con-
sumed, and frozen in separate packages.
• It is recommended to pack the foods be-
fore placing them in the freezer.
• In order to prevent expiration of storage
time, write the freezing date, time and
name of the product on the package ac-
cording to the storage times of different
foods.
• Consume the foods you have defrosted
quickly. Defrosted foods cannot be
frozen again unless they are cooked. It is
not safe to consume the refrozen fresh
foods without cooking after they are de-
frosted.
• As you freeze fresh foods, do not bring
them in contact with already frozen
foods. Otherwise, frozen foods will be de-
frosted.
Storing the foods, which are sold frozen
• Always follow the instructions of the pro-
ducer in relation to the time during which
you are required to store your foods. Do
not excess the time specified in these in-
structions!
• In order to protect the quality of the food,
keep the time interval between purchas-
ing transaction and storing as short as
possible.
• Buy frozen food which are stored at –18
°C or lower temperatures.
• Avoid buying foods whose packages are
covered with ice etc. This means that the
product could be partially defrosted and
refrozen. Temperature impacts the qual-
ity of the food.
• Do not excess the storing time recom-
mended by the food producer. Remove
only the food as much as you need from
the freezer.
• Except the cases where extreme circum-
stances are available in the environment,
if your product (on the recommended set
values table) is set to the specified set
values, the food keep their freshness for
a longer time both in the fresh product
compartment and freezer compartment.
• If fresh food compartment is set to a
lower temperature, fresh fruits and veget-
ables may be partially frozen.

Boil the vegetables and filter the water to
extend the frozen storage time. Place the
food in air-tight packages after filtering and
