Freezer compartment door
To ensure that frozen food will not de-frost prematurely, the door to the freezer compartment should
be kept closed at all times. This will also prevent an undue build-up of ice and frost. Ensure,
therefore, that the door is only opened briefly to place food in the freezer compartment or to remove
it.
Freezing and storing food
– The temperatures inside the refrigerator cabinet and freezer compartment depend mainly on the
ambient temperature, the temperature control setting and the amount of food stored.
Freezer compartment:
– The freezer compartment is designed for deep-freezing and long-term storage of frozen food, and
for making ice cubes.
– The quick-freeze compartment inside the freezer cabinet carries the symbol
– To ensure that nutritious elements such as vitamins are not lost, fresh food should be deep-
frozen right through as quickly as possible. To that effect, the prepared food should be placed
into the freezer compartments, properly spaced in one or two rows.
– Avoid contact with food that has already been frozen.
– Caution: Do not exceed the maximum freezing capacity per day. The product data sheet
contains details of the maximum daily freezing capacity.
– Set the temperature control to Max. After 24 hours, once the food is well frozen, the temperature
control can be set back to its original position.
– To ensure sufficient distribution of cold air, keep a minimum distance of 3
cm between the vapouriser assembly and the tray containing the food to
be frozen.
– The time required to freeze food may be shortened by dividing it into
smaller portions.
– Suitable packaging materials for frozen food are transparent (i.e. non-
coloured) plastic wrap or bags, or aluminium foil. The packaging materials should be well aired
before use; check that the package is air-tight before freezing the food. We strongly recommend
that you label every item stored in the freezer with all relevant information such as type of food,
freezing date and use-by date.
– Do not attempt to deep-freeze carbonated beverages, warm food or any kind of bottled liquids.
– Frozen food can be defrosted in the refrigerator. This way, the food is defrosted at a slower rate,
retaining its taste. Furthermore, the frozen food helps to keep the temperature inside the
refrigerator at its intended level.
Use-by dates for frozen food are specified (in months) in the table below.
