• Do not store food for a long period of time if it spoils easily at a low temperature.• Do not place unfrozen food in direct contact with food that is already frozen. It could be necessary to reduce the quantity to be frozen if freezing every day is anticipated.• Place the refrigerated food or frozen food in each fridge or freezer compartment immediately after purchasing.• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.• Refrigerated foods and other food items can be stored on top of the vegetable drawer.• Avoid refreezing any food which has been completely thawed. Freezing any food which has been completely thawed again will lower its taste and nutrition.• Do not overfill the appliance. Cold air can not circulate properly if the appliance is overfilled.• Cool hot food before storing. If too much hot food is placed inside, the internal temperature of the appliance can increase and negatively affect other foods stored in the appliance.• If you set an excessively low temperature for food, it may become frozen. Do not set a temperature lower than the required temperature for the food to be stored correctly.• If there are chill compartments in the appliance, do not store vegetables and fruits with higher moisture content in the chill compartments as they may freeze due to the lower temperature.• In the event of a blackout, call the electricity company and ask how long it is going to last.- You should avoid door openings while the power is off.- When the power supply gets back to normal, check the condition of the food. Maximum Freezing Capacity
• For maximum freezing capacity, set the freezer temperature to the coldest temperature setting. Express Freeze function will allow the freezer to reach its maximum freezing capacity. This generally takes up to 52 hours and automatically switches off. Express Freeze must be switched on for 6 hours before fresh products are placed in the freezer compartment.• To freeze food items quickly, store the food on the left side of the top shelf. If you need to store more food, store it on the shelves in order starting from the top shelf. Food items will freeze most quickly in the zone.• To get better air circulation, insert all inner parts like baskets, drawers, and shelves. NOTE

• The max freezing capacity of your appliance is stated on the rating label inside the fridge compartment.
