• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, set the
refrigerator thermostat at 4 - 5 for 24 hours before placing fresh food into the freezer.
• After placing fresh food into the freezer, change the setting to 4 - 5 for 24 hours is
generally sufficient. After 24 hours, you can reduce the setting if required.
• Do not allow the fresh food to be frozen to come into contact with the already frozen food.
• Always mark the date and the content on the pack and do not exceed the stated storage
time.
• In case of a power failure or malfunction, the freezer compartment will maintain a
sufficiently low temperature for food storage. However, avoid opening the freezer door
to slow down the temperature rise within the freezer compartment.
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment.
• When purchasing and storing frozen food products, ensure that the packaging is not
damaged.
• The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing frozen food is indicated
on the packaging. For storing and using, follow the manufacturer's instructions. If no
information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3 months.
• Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after buying it.
• Once the food has thawed, it must not be refrozen; you must cook it as quickly as possible
in order to consume or to freeze once again.
• Not that; if you want to open again immediately after closing the freezer door, it will not
be opened easily. It's quite normal! After reaching equilibrium condition, the door will be
opened easily.
Important note:
• Frozen foods, when thawed, should be cooked just like fresh foods. If they are not cooked
after being thawed they must NEVER be re-frozen.
• The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar,
assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.)
changes and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a long period.
Therefore, the frozen food should be added little amount of spices or the desired spice
should be added after the food has been thawed.
• The storage period of food is dependent on the oil used. The suitable oils are margarine,
calf fat, olive oil and butter and the unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
• The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and the other food should be
frozen in plastic folios or bags.
Some recommendations have been specified on pages 12, 13 and 14 for the placement and
storage of your food in the deep freeze compartment.
