• The symbols show different types of frozen
goods.
• The numbers indicate storage times in
months for the appropriate types of frozen
goods. Whether the upper or lower value of
the indicated storage time is valid depends
on the quality of the foods and treating
before freezing.
Freezing fresh food
• The freezer compartment is suitable for
freezing fresh food and storing frozen and
deep-frozen food for a long time.
• The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during
this period do not add other food to be
frozen.
Storage of frozen food
• When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least
2 hours on the colder setting.
• Successful freezing depends on the correct
packaging. When you close and seal the
package you must not allow air or moisture
in or out. If you do, you could have food
odour and taste transfer throughout the
refrigerator, and also dry out frozen food.

• For best performance, leave enough space
in the freezer and refrigerator compartment

door can close tightly.
Warning! In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due to a power
failure, the defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked immediately,
cooled and then re-frozen.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used,
can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment
or at room temperature, depending on the time
available for this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,
directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking
will take longer.
Storage of food in the refrigerator
compartment
• Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has
a strong flavour.
• Position the food so that air can circulate
freely around it.
Low temperature compartment
• The low temperature compartment ranges
from 28°F (-2°C) to 37°F (3°C).
• The drawer is suitable for storing fresh
food like fish, meat, seafood, because the
temperature is lower here than in the rest of
the refrigerator compartment.
• The low temperature compartment is
equipped with runners. You can pull it out of
the appliance.
