Freezing food
•
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen food for a long time.
•
The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is for this refrigerator: 8,5 kg.
•
The freezing process takes 24 hours. Do not add any other food to freeze during this period.
•
Only freeze fresh and thoroughly cleaned foods.
•
Prepare the food in small portions so that it is quickly frozen completely and can then be thawed in the desired
amount.
•
Pack the food in aluminium foil or freezer bags and make sure the packets are airtight.
•
Do not allow fresh, non-frozen food to come into contact with food that has already been frozen, and prevent
the temperature of the food that has already been frozen from rising.
•
Lean foods are better and more durable than fatty foods; salt shortens the shelf life of food.
•
Ice lollies, if eaten directly from the freezer, can cause frostbite.
•
It is advisable to indicate the freezing date on each individual package in order to keep track of the shelf life.
•
It is advisable to keep the time between buying the food and putting it in the freezer as short as possible.
Storing frozen food
On first use or after a long period of downtime. Run the appliance for at least two hours at the higher positions
before putting products in the freezer compartment.
Tips for buying frozen goods
•
When you buy frozen products, read the storage guidelines on the packaging. You can store any frozen
product for the period indicated by the star rating. This usually corresponds to the period stated as "best before"
on the front of the package.
•
Ensure that frozen food packaging is in perfect condition.
•
Always buy frozen products at the end of your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.
•
Try to keep frozen food together while shopping and on the way home as this helps to keep food cooler.
•
Only buy frozen food if you can freeze it immediately. In most shops, you can buy special insulating bags.
These keep frozen food cold for longer.
•
Use good quality food and handle it as little as possible. When food is frozen in small quantities, it takes less
time to freeze or thaw it.
•
Estimate the amount of food to be frozen. When freezing large quantities of fresh food, set the temperature
control knob to low mode, this sets the freezer temperature lower. This allows you to freeze the food quickly,
keeping it fresh.
Saving energie
•
The most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers in the lower part of the
appliance and with the shelves evenly distributed. The position of the door trays does not affect energy
consumption.
•
Do not open the door or leave it open more often than necessary.
•
Do not set the temperature too high to save energy unless the characteristics of the food require it.
•
If the ambient temperature is high, the temperature control is set to a low temperature and the appliance is
fully filled, the compressor can be on continuously, causing ice to form on the evaporator. In this case, set the
temperature control to a higher temperature to defrost the evaporator and thus save energy.
•
Ensure proper ventilation. Do not cover the vents or holes.
•
Place frozen food in the fresh food compartment to defrost: the low temperature of the frozen food helps to cool
the fresh food and thus saves energy.
•
Replace the door gasket in good time to prevent poor door closing.
