Freezer Compartment - Gorenje NRF7181TNX Guide D'utilisation

Freezer compartment

• Use the freezer to store frozen foods for long periods of time and make ice cubes.
• To freeze fresh food - ensure that as much of the surface of food to be frozen is in contact
with the cooling surface.
• Do not put fresh food on either side of frozen food as it can thaw it.
• While freezing fresh foods(i.e meat,fish and mincemeat),divide into portion sizes.
• Once the unit has been defrosted replace the foods into freezer and remember to con-
sume them in a short period of time.
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment.
• The instructions shown on frozen food packages should always be followed carefully
and if no information is provided food should not be stored for more than 3 months from
the purchased date.
• When buying frozen foods ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures
and that the packing is intact.
• Frozen foods should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality of
the food and should be stored in the freezer as soon as possible.
• If a package of frozen food shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling it has been
previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen foods depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting,
how often the door is opened, the type of food and the length of time required to transport
the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the
package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
That; If you decide to open the freezer door again immediately after closing, it may be dif-
ficult to re-open. This is normal and after the freezer has reached an equilibrium condition
the door will open 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. There-
fore, only add a small amount of spice if planning to freeze, 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.
In some models; while loading the freezing compartment, the loading lines
should not be passed. Otherwise, the door might remain open. In case that
the freezing compartment door is left open, snow formation might occur
in the freezing compartment. The problem shall not repeat itself after the
snowed part is cleaned and it is made certain that its door is fully closed.
Also, not closing the freezing and/or cooling compartment door would
increase your energy consumption.
