Freezer compartment:
∙ The freezer compartment is designed for deep-freezing and
long-term storage of frozen food, and for making ice cubes.
∙ To ensure that nutritious elements such as vitamins are
not lost, fresh food should be deep-frozen right through as
quickly as possible. For this reason, prepared food should
be put in the quick-freeze compartment, spaced out in
one or two rows. The quick-freeze area inside the freezer
compartment is marked Fast Freeze, where we recommend
you fi rst put the food to be frozen for quick-freezing, before
moving it to other compartments (as appropriate) after 24
hours.
∙ Avoid contact with food that has already been frozen.
∙ Caution: Do not exceed the maximum freezing capacity
per day. The product data sheet at the end of this manual
contains details of the maximum daily freezing capacity.
∙ For quick-freezing, 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.
∙ 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 specifi ed (in months) in
the table below.
∙ Do not exceed these storage times.
∙ However, always observe the manufacturer's use-by dates
for the frozen food.
∙ If the unit remains switched off for an extended period (eg
during a power failure), the door should be kept closed;
this will help to maintain the lowest possible temperature
in the cabinet. The product data sheet contains detailed
information of the maximum safe storage time in case of
malfunction. Even a slight rise in the inside temperature will
shorten the storage life of the food.

Making ice cubes
A special ice-cube tray is provided for making ice cubes. Fill
the tray up to ¾ with drinking water and place it in the freezer
compartment for a few hours. The ice cubes are easier
to remove from the tray if the tray is left standing at room
temperature for 5 minutes.
