Do not let the children hang on the ice dispenser or the ice maker since it may cause an injury To prevent dropping the ice stock reservoir use both hands when removing it. If you close the door hard, it may cause water spilling over the ice stock reservoir. Do not dismount the ice stock reservoir unless it is necessary.39

5.20 Freezing fresh food

• To preserve food quality, the food items placed in the freezer compartment must be frozen as quickly as possible, use the rapid freezing for this.

• Freezing the food items when fresh will extend the storage time in the freezer compartment.

• Pack the food items in air-tight packs and seal tightly.

• Make sure the food items are packed before putting in the freezer. Use freezer holders, tinfoil and damp-proof paper, plastic bag or similar packaging materials instead of traditional packaging paper.

• Mark each food pack by writing the date on the package before freezing. This will allow you to determine the freshness of each pack every time the freezer is opened. Keep the earlier food items in the front to ensure they are used first.

• Frozen food items must be used immediately after defrosting and should not be frozen again.

• Do not free large quantities of food at once.

5.21 Deep freezer details

As per the IEC 62552 standards, the freezer must have the capacity to freeze 4,5 kg of food items at -18°C or lower temperatures in 24 hours for each 100 litres of freezer compartment volume. Food items can only be preserved for extended periods at or below temperature of -18°C . You can keep the foods fresh for months (in deep freezer at or below temperatures of 18°C ). The food items to be frozen must not contact the already-frozen food inside to avoid partial defrosting. Boil the vegetables and filter the water to extend the frozen storage time. Place the food in air-tight packages after filtering and place in the freezer. Bananas, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, boiled eggs, potatoes and similar food items should not be frozen. Freezing these food items will simply reduce the nutritional value and food quality, as well as possible spoiling which is harmful to health.40 Freezer Compartment Setting Cooler Compartment Setting Descriptions -18°C 4°C This is the default, recommended setting. -20,-22 veya -24°C 4°C These settings are recommended for ambient temperatures exceeding 30°C. Rapid Freeze 4°C Use this to freeze food items in a short time, the product will reset to previous settings when the process is completed. -18°C or colder 2°C Use these settings if you believe the cooler compartment is not cold enough due to ambient temperature or frequently opening the door.
