ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

• Use your freezer to keep frozen food for a long time and to produce ice.

• Do not place food you want to freeze next to frozen food.

• You should freeze your food (meat, minced meat, fish etc) in portions that allow consuming in a time.

• Do not put fresh and warm food with frozen food side by side as it can thaw the frozen food.

• While freezing fresh food (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat) divide them in parts in order to use in one time.

• For storing the frozen food; the instructions shown on frozen food packages should always be followed carefully and if no information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date.

• Maximum load; if you want to load large quantities and use the maximum net capacity, you can remove the drawers (Except the bottom one). You can store bulky items directly on the shelves.

• When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing is intact.

• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest possible time.

• If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal swelling it is probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.

• The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.

• If you would freeze about 3 kg food in your freezer:

• You can place your food without touching other frozen food and activate “Fast

Freezing” mode. You can put your food next to other frozen food after they are frozen (after minimum 24 hours).

• Do not re-freeze the frozen goods after being melted. This may cause health issues like food poisoning.

• Do not place hot food to the freezer before cooling them. This may cause the spoiling of food frozen before in the freezer.

• When you are buying frozen food, make sure that they frozen in proper conditions and the package is undamaged.

• Follow the instructions for storing conditions on the package of the frozen food while storing them. If there is no explanation, food must be consumed in a short time.

• If the package of frozen food is humid and smells bad, it may be stored under inappropriate conditions and spoiled. Do not buy this kind of food!
