MAX. = When the max position is adjusted
the quick freezing function shall be activ-
ated.
The freezer compartment temperature is
set to -27 °C. Change the thermostat posi-
tion 1 to 4 again to cancel the function. The
quick freezing function will be automatic-
ally cancelled after 50 hours.
To freeze a large amount of fresh food,
change to the max position before placing
the food in the freezer compartment.
Please select a setting based on the de-
sired temperature.
The internal temperature also depends on
the ambient temperature, the frequency
with which the door is opened and the
amount of food stored inside.
Frequent opening of the door causes the in-
ternal temperature to rise.
For this reason, it is recommended to close
the door again as soon as possible after
use. The normal storage temperature of
your appliance should be knob position 1
(-18 °C / 0 °F). (-18 °C / 0 °F)
Lower temperatures can be obtained by ad-
justing the thermostat knob towards Posi-
tion 4.
We recommend checking the temperature
with a thermometer to ensure that the stor-
age compartments are at the desired tem-
perature.
Remember to read the temperature imme-
diately after removing it from the freezer,
as the thermometer temperature rises very
quickly.
7.2 Freezing Fresh Foods
• Foods to be frozen must be divided into
portions according to a size to be con-
sumed, and frozen in separate packages.
In this way, all the food should be preven-
ted from being re-frozen by thawing.
• In order to protect the nutritional value,
the aroma and the colour of the foods as
much as possible, vegetables should be
boiled for a short period of time before
freezing. (Boiling is not necessary for
foods such as cucumber, parsley.) Cook-
ing time of the vegetables frozen in this
way is shortened by 1/3 than that of the
fresh vegetables.
• To extend the storage times of frozen
foods, boiled vegetables must first be
filtered and then hermetically packaged
as in the all types of foods.
• Foods should not be placed in the freezer
compartment without package.
• The packaging material of the food to be
stored should be air-tight, thick and dur-
able and should not deform with cold and
humidity. Otherwise, the food that is
hardened by freezing might pierce the
package. Sealing the package well is also
important in terms of securely storing the
food.
The Following Packaging Types Are
Suitable to Freeze Food:
Polyethylene bag, aluminium foil, plastic
foil, vacuum bags and cold-resistant stor-
age containers with caps.
The Use of Following Types of Pack-
aging Is Not Recommended to Freeze
Food:
Packaging paper, parchment paper, cello-
phane (gelatin paper), garbage bag, used
bags and shopping bags.
• Hot foods should not be placed in the
freezer compartment without cooling.
• When placing unfrozen fresh foods in the
freezer compartment, please note that it
does not contact with frozen foods. Cool-
pack (PCM) can be placed to the rack im-
mediately below the quick freezing rack
for preventing them from being getting
warm.
• During the freezing time (24 hours) do
not place other food to the freezer.
• Place your foods to the freezing shelves
or racks by spreading them so that they
will not be cramped (it is recommended
that the packaging does not come into
contact with each other).
• Frozen foods must be immediately con-
sumed in a short period of time after de-
frosting and must never be frozen again.
