Using the freezer to its full potential
• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been
defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24
hours).
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact
with food that has already been defrosted. Fresh food must be
stored in the top FREEZER and STORAGE compartment
where the temperature drops below -18°C and guarantees
rapid freezing.
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are
corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they
could break.
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is
indicated on the plate containing the technical properties located
on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment (for
example: Kg/24h: 4)
! Do not open the door during freezing.
! To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer, it is advisable
not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or containers.
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer
door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer,
ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.
! To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the refrigerator, it is
advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or
containers.
