• 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.) Cooking time

of the vegetables frozen in this way is

shortened by 1/3 than that of the fresh ve-

getables.

• 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 storage

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.

• Do not block the ventilation holes by put-

ting your frozen foods in front of the ventil-

ation holes located on the back surface.

• We recommend you to attach a label onto

the package and write the name of the

foods in the package and the freezing

time.

• A small amount of foods (maximum 2 kg)

can also be frozen without the use of the

quick freezing function.

To obtain the best result, apply the following

instructions:

1. Activate the quick freezing function 24

hours before placing your fresh foods.

2. 24 hours after you have pressed the

button, first place your food that you

want to freeze to the top shelf with

higher freezing capacity. Place your re-

maining food, if any, to the rightmost

part of the second shelf.

3. The quick freezing function will be auto-

matically deactivated after 52 hours.

4. Do not try to freeze a large quantity of

food at a time. Within 24 hours, this

product can freeze the maximum food

quantity specified as «Freezing Capacity

… kg/24 hours» on its type label. It is

not convenient to put more unfrozen/

fresh foods to the freezer compartment

than the quantity specified on the label.

• You can review the Meat and Fish, Veget-

ables and Fruits, Dairy Products tables for

placing and storing your foods in the

deep-freezer.

Advice on Storing Frozen Foods

• While purchasing your frozen foods, make

sure that they are frozen at appropriate

temperatures and their packages are not

broken.

• Put the packages in the freezer compart-

ment as soon as possible after purchasing

them.

• Make sure that the expiration date indic-

ated on the packaging is not expired be-

fore consuming the packaged ready meals

that you remove from the freezer compart-

ment.

Defrosting

The ice in the freezer compartments is auto-

matically thawed.

Freezer Details

The EN 62552 standard requires (according

to specific measurement conditions) that at

least 4.5 kg of food for each 100 litres of

freezer compartment volume can be frozen

at 25 °C ambient temperature in 24 hours.

Defrosting the Frozen Foods

Depending on the food diversity and the pur-

pose of use, a selection can be made

between the following options for defrosting:

• At room temperature (it is not very suitable

to defrost the food by leaving it at room

temperature for a long time in terms of

maintaining the food quality)

• In the refrigerator

• In the electrical oven (in models with or

without fan)

• In the microwave oven

CAUTION!

• Never put acidic beverages in glass bottles

and cans into your freezer due to the risk

of explosion.

• If there is moisture and abnormal swelling

in the packaging of frozen foods, it is likely

that they were previously stored in an im-

proper storage condition and their con-

tents deteriorated. Do not consume these

foods without checking.

• Since the taste of some spices in cooked

meals may change when exposed to long-

term storage conditions, you must add

lesser amount of spices to your foods to

be frozen or the desired spices should be

added to the foods after the thawing pro-

cess.
