PART 3. ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

• The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.
• For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly, that is the packaging should be air tight and shouldn't leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.

• Do not store fresh food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.

• Before freezing fresh food, divide it into portions that can be consumed in one sitting.

• Consume thawed frozen food within a short period of time after defrosting
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment as it will thaw the frozen food.
• Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on food packaging when storing frozen food. If no information is provided food, should not be stored for more than 3 months from the date of purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it has been stored under appropriate conditions and that the packaging is not damaged.
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and placed in the freezer as soon as possible.
• Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling. It is probable that it has been stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the 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 packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
• The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance label.
• The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food, for storing frozen food, and for making ice cubes.
• If the freezer door has been left open for a long time or not closed properly, frost will form and can prevent efficient air circulation. To resolve this, unplug the freezer and wait for it to defrost. Clean the freezer once it has fully defrosted.
• Remove baskets, covers, and so on, to increase the storage volume of freezer.
• The freezer volume stated on the label is the volume without baskets, covers, and so on.

IMPORTANT

• Do not refreeze thawed food. It may pose a danger to your health and cause problems such as food poisoning.
• Do not put warm food in the deep freeze compartment until it has completely cooled. It will thaw already frozen food, which may then rot.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure it has been stored under appropriate conditions and the packaging is not damaged.
• Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity or if it has a foul odour. The food may not have been stored correctly and may have gone rotten.
• The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the 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 freezer. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.

NOTE: Remove frozen food from the freezer the day before consumption, and put in the bottom compartment of the refrigerator. This helps reduce the temperature in the refrigerator, which in turn saves energy. If the frozen food defrosts in an open area, energy loss will occur.

- Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and any other food which needs to be frozen quickly) more quickly because of the freezing shelf's greater freezing power. Fast freezing shelf is the bottom drawer of the freezer compartment.

NOTE: If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you will find that it will not open easily. This is normal. Once equilibrium has been reached, the door will open easily.

Important note:

• Never refreeze thawed frozen food.
• The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a long period of time. Therefore, add small amounts of spices to food to be frozen, or the desired spice should be added after the food has thawed.
• The storage time of food is dependent on the type of oil used. Suitable oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and butter. Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
• Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.

! The power supply must be disconnected.

Defrosting

Freezer defrosting process

• Small amounts of frost will accumulate inside the freezer, depending upon the length of time for which the door is left open or the amount of moisture introduced. It is essential to ensure that no frost or ice is allowed to form at places where it will affect the close fitting of the door seal. This might allow air to penetrate the cabinet, encouraging continuous running of the compressor. Thin frost formation is quite soft and can be removed with a brush or plastic scraper. Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process. Remove all dislodged frost from the cabinet floor. It is not necessary to switch off the appliance for the removal of this frost.
• For the removal of heavy ice deposits, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply, empty the contents into cardboard boxes and wrap in thick blankets or layers of paper to keep them cold. Defrosting will be most effective if carried out when the freezer is nearly empty and should be carried out as quickly as possible to prevent undue increase in the temperature of the contents.
• Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process. An increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting will shorten the storage life. If the contents are well wrapped and placed in a cool area they

should keep for several hours.

• Dry the inside of the compartment with a sponge or a clean cloth.
  • To accelerate the defrosting process, place one or more bowls of warm water in the freezer compartment.
• Examine the contents when replacing them in the freezer and if some of the food has thawed out it should be eaten within 24 hours, or be cooked and re-frozen.
• After defrosting has finished clean the inside of the appliance with a solution of warm water with a little bicarbonate of soda and then dry thoroughly. Wash all removable parts in the same way and reassemble. Reconnect the appliance to the mains supply and leave for 2 to 3 hours on setting « 5 » position before introducing the food back into the freezer.

PART 5.

TRANSPORTATION AND CHANGING OF INSTALLATION POSITION

Transportation and changing of Installation position

• The original packages and foamed polystyrene (PS) can be retained if required.
• During transportation, the appliance should be secured with a wide string or a strong rope. The instructions written on the corrugated box must be followed while transporting.

- Before transporting or changing the installation position, all the moving objects (ie, ice tray, scraper, drawers ...) should be taken out or fixed with bands in order to prevent them from getting damaged.

! Carry your fridge in the upright position.

1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise humidity increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.
4. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
5. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc) closed
6. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
