The low temperature compartment
can also be used to freeze fresh food.
The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen
in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate.
Note:
In the event of a power cut, the low temperature
compartment will maintain a sufficiently low
temperature for food storage. However, it is
advisable to avoid opening the compartment door
during such periods.
Freezing fresh food (only in compartments
marked )
Important
• Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in:
aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight
plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or
freezer containers suitable for freezing fresh
food.
• Arrange the fresh food in the top compartment,
leaving sufficient space around each pack for the
air to circulate.
• For optimum freezing, turn the thermostat
down by half a point when placing fresh foods in
the freezer compartment.
• The food will be completely frozen in 24 hours.
For appliances with compartments marked
The table alongside shows the recommended
maximum storage time for frozen fresh foods.
When purchasing frozen food products:
• ensure that the packaging is not damaged
(frozen food in damaged packaging may have
deteriorated). If the package is swollen or has
damp patches, it may not have been stored
under optimal conditions and defrosting may
have already begun.
• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases
until last and transport the products in a
thermally insulated cool bag.
• Place the items in the low temperature
compartment as soon as you get home.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-
freeze it. Consume within 24 hours.
• Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the
minimum. Respect the best-before date on the
package.
• Always observe the storage information on the
package.
Making ice cubes if ice tray available
• Fill the ice cube tray 2/3 full and place it in the
low temperature compartment
• Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to
detach the tray if it is stuck to the low
temperature compartment bottom.
• Bend the ice tray slightly to remove the cubes.
