HOW TO USE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Note:
The temperature in the freezer compartment is maintained at
the ideal level for the storage of frozen food also during
power failures of limited duration, although it is advisable to
avoid opening the freezer compartment door during such
periods.
Important:
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). Avoid
packages that are swollen or show evidence of damp areas
indicating that the food may have thawed partially during its
period of storage.
•
When shopping, leave frozen food purchases till last and
transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.
•
Place the items in the freezer compartment as soon as you
get home.
•
If food has thawed, even partially, do not re-freeze it.
Consume within 24 hours.
•
Avoid subjecting foods to temperature variations. Observe
the “best before” date on the package.
•
Always observe the storage information on the package.
Removing the baskets
•
Pull out fully, raise slightly and remove.
Note:
The freezer compartment can be used without the two upper
baskets to increase storage space for large products. The
lower basket must not be removed.
Place the food products directly on the racks.
After inserting food, ensure that the freezer compartment
door closes properly.
Making ice cubes
•
Pour water into the ice tray up to 2/3 full and place it in the
freezer compartment.
•
If the ice tray sticks to the shelves, do not use pointed or
sharp objects to detach it.
•
Bend the ice tray slightly to remove the cubes.
