• Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage of frozen food. If no information is
provided, foods should not be stored for more than three months after the purchase date.
• Store food in small packages (ideally less than 2.5kg). This reduces the freezing time and improves
the quality of the food after thawing.
• Wrap food before putting into the freezer. To stop the wrapping sticking together, ensure it is dry.
• Label the food before freezing with information including type of food and dates of storage and
expiry.
• Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen unless it has been completely cooked. Only defrost
as much food as is required to prevent wastage.
• Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartment as they could explode.
• Check the rating plate to confirm the maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen within a
24 hour period.
Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount.
Storage
The freezer is for short-mid term food storage. Although low temperatures can be maintained,
extended periods of food storage is not recommended.
As the cold air circulates within the freezer, the temperature can vary between the different
sections. As such, foods should be stored in different sections according to type and storage term.
The bottom sections are the coldest parts of the freezer.
The top two sections have raisable flaps that stay open for ease of loading
and unloading. The remaining 5 sections are drawers.
The 6th setting on the control panel, represented by the snowflake (Fig. 2), is
a super freeze function. This should be used when freezing large quantities of
food all at once. Activate this function 2 or 3 hours before introducing the
food and do not leave it to run for more than necessary.
Leaving it to run for longer will place unnecessary strain on the cooling
system. The function will automatically deactivate after approximately 24
hours.
The most energy-saving configuration requires drawers, food box and shelves
to be positioned in the product, please refer to the above pictures.

compartment.
For frozen food, refer to the storage time written on the food
packaging. This storage time is achieved whenever the setting
respects the reference temperatures of the compartment (one-star -6°C, two
stars -12°C, three stars -18°C)
