Your refrigerator is equipped with two separate cooling systems to cool the fresh food compartment and freezer compartment. Thus, air in the fresh food compartment and freezer compartment do not get mixed. Thanks to these two separate cooling systems, cooling speed is much higher than other refrigerators. Odors in the compartments do not get mixed. Also additional power saving is provided since the defrosting is performed individually.
Freezing fresh food
- It must be preferred to wrap or cover the food before placing them in the refrigerator.
- Hot food must cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the refrigerator.
- The foodstuff that you want to freeze must be fresh and in good quality.
- Foodstuff must be divided into portions according to the family's daily or meal based consumption needs.
- The foodstuff must be packaged in an airtight manner to prevent them from drying even if they are going to be kept for a short time.
- Materials to be used for packaging must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, odor, oils and acids and they must also be airtight. Moreover, they must be well closed and they must be made from easy-to-use materials that are suitable for deep freeze usage.
