THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
o
The freezer compartment temperature must have already reached -18
degrees centigrade (or lower) before you attempt to store food that is
already frozen or freezing fresh food.

one time. You should not attempt to freeze more than 4.5 kilograms of
fresh food within a 24 hour period.
o
Warm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt to freeze
it. If you place warm food in the freezer, then the increased humidity will
cause quicker ice formation and increase the amount of power that the
appliance uses.

The guidance of the food manufacturer should be followed, in regard to the
maximum storage time.

Thawed foods must not be frozen for a second time.

Do not open the freezer door too often or leave the door open for long
periods of time, as this will increase the temperature inside of the
appliance and will increase the energy usage.
