Starting
Final Check
Before you start using the freezer
check that:
1. The front feet have been
adjusted so the appliance is level.
2. The interior is dry and air can
circulate freely at the rear.
3. Clean the interior as
recommended under “CLEANING AND
CARE.”
4. Insert the plug into the
wall socket and switch on the
electricity supply. Avoid accidental
disconnection by taping over the
switch, the compressor will start
running in about five minutes.
5. You will hear a noise as the
compressor starts up. The liquid and
gases sealed within the refrigeration
system may also give rise to noise,
whether the compressor is running or
not which is quite normal.
6. Do not load the appliance
immediately it is switched on. Wait
until the correct storage temperature
has been reached. We recommend
that you check the temperature
with an accurate thermometer
(see;Temperature Control and
Adjustment)..
7. Front edges of the cabinet may
feel warm. This is normal. These areas
are designed to be warm to avoid
condensation.
8. We recommend that you set
the thermostat at MIN setting and
monitor the temperature to ensure
the appliance maintains desired
storage temperatures
9. (See Temperature Control and
Adjustment section).
Important Notes :
10. If there is a power failure
do not open the door. Frozen food
should not be affected if the failure
lasts for less than 17 hours. If the
failure is longer, then the food
should be checked and either eaten
immediately or cooked and then re-
frozen.
11. If you find the freezer door
difficult to open just after you have
closed it, don’t worry. This is due to
the pressure difference which will
equalise and allow the door to open
normally after a few moments.
12. You will hear a vacuum sound
just after closing the door. This is
quite normal.
13. When you switch on, the
appliance will not start immediately,
because the appliance
incorporates a protection device in
the electronics - wait for about 5
minutes.
14. Since hot and humid air will not
directly penetrate into your product
when the doors are not opened,
your product will optimize itself in
conditions sufficient to protect your
food. In this energy saving function,
functions and components such as
compressor, fan, heater, defrost,
lighting, display and so on will operate
according to the needs to consume
minimum energy while maintaining
the freshness of your foodstuff.

How to Freeze Fresh Foods
• Foods to be frozen must be divided
into portions according to a size to
be consumed, and frozen in separate
packages. In this way, all the food
should be prevented from being re-
frozen by thawing.
• In order to protect the nutritional
value, the aroma and the color of
the foods as much as possible,
vegetables should be boiled for a
short period of time before freezing.
(Boiling is not necessary for foods
such as cucumber, parsley.) Cooking
time of the vegetables frozen in this
way is shortened by 1/3 than that of
the fresh vegetables.
• To extend the storage times of
frozen foods, boiled vegetables
must first be filtered and then
hermetically packaged as in the all
types of foods.
• Foods should not be placed in the
freezer compartment without
package.
• The packaging material of the food
to be stored should be air-tight, thick
and durable and should not deform
with cold and humidity. Otherwise,
the food that is hardened by
freezing might pierce the package.
Sealing the package well is also
important in terms of securely
storing the food.
The following packaging types are
suitable for use to freeze the food:
Polyethylene bag, aluminum foil,
plastic foil, vacuum bags and cold-
resistant storage containers with
caps.
The use of the following types of
packaging is not recommended to
freeze the food;
Packaging paper, parchment
paper,cellophane (gelatin paper),
garbage bag, used bags and shopping
bags.
• Hot foods should not be placed in
the freezer compartment without
cooling.
• When placing unfrozen fresh foods
in the freezer compartment, please
note that it does not contact with
frozen foods. Cool-pack (PCM)
(if any) can be placed to the rack
immediately below the quick freezer
rack for preventing them from being
getting warm.
• During the freezing time (24 hours)
do not place other food to the
freezer.
• Place your foods to the freezing
shelves or racks by spreading them
so that they will not be cramped (it
is recommended that the packaging
does not come into contact with
each other).
• Frozen foods must be immediately
consumed in a short period of time
after defrosting and must never be
frozen again.
• We recommend you to attach a label
onto the package and write the
name of the foods in the package
and the freezing time.
EN
16
Foods suitable for freezing:
• Fish and seafood, red and white
meat, poultry, vegetables, fruit,
herbaceous spices, dairy products
(such as cheese, butter and strained
yoghurt), pastries, ready or cooked
meals, potato dishes, souffle and
desserts.
Foods not suitable for freezing:
• Yoghurt, sour milk, cream,
mayonnaise, leaved salad, red
radish, grapes, all fruits (such as
apple, pears and peaches).
• For foods to be frozen quickly and
thoroughly, the following specified
amounts per package should not be
exceeded.
-Fruits and vegetables, 0.5-1 kg
-Meat, 1-1.5 kg
• A small amount of foods (maximum
2 kg) can also be frozen without the
use of the quick freezing function.
To obtain the best result, apply the
following instructions:
1. Activate the quick freezing
function 24 hours before placing your
fresh foods.
2. After 24 hours after pressing
the button, first place your food that
you want to freeze to the top shelf
with higher freezing capacity. If you
have food that you have previously
stored, store your fresh foods starting
from the back towards the front.
3. The quick freezing function will
be automatically inactivated after 25
hours.
4. Do not try to freeze a large
quantity of food at a time. Within 24
hours, this product can freeze the
maximum food quantity specified as
«Freezing Capacity … kg/24 hours»
on its type label. It is not convenient
to put more unfrozen/fresh foods to
the freezer compartment than the
quantity specified on the label.
• You can review the Meat and
Fish, Vegetables and Fruits, Dairy
Products tables for placing and
storing your foods in the deep-
freezer.
Recommendations for
Preservation of
Frozen Foods
• While purchasing your frozen foods,
make sure that they are frozen at
appropriate temperatures and their
packages are not broken.
• Put the packages on the freezer
compartment as soon as possible
after purchasing them.
• Make sure that the expiration
date indicated on the packaging
is not expired before consuming
the packaged ready meals that
you remove from the freezer
compartment.
Deep Freezer Information
The EN 62552 standard requires
(according to specific measurement
conditions) that at least 4.5 kg of
food for each 100 liter of freezer
compartment volume can be frozen
at a room temperature of 25°C in 24
hours.
EN
17
Defrosting the frozen
foods
Depending on the food diversity and
the purpose of use, a selection can be
made between the following options
for defrosting:
• At room temperature (it is not very
suitable to defrost the food by
leaving it at room temperature for
a long time in terms of maintaining
the food quality)
• In the refrigerator
• In the electrical oven (in models with
or without fan)
• In the microwave oven
CAUTION:
• Never put acidic beverages in glass
bottles and cans into your freezer
due to the risk of explosion.
• If there is moisture and abnormal
swelling in the packaging of frozen
foods, it is likely that they were
previously stored in an improper
storage condition and their contents
deteriorated. Do not consume these
foods without checking.
• Since some spices in cooked meals
may change their taste when
exposed to long-term storage
conditions, your frozen foods should
be less seasoned or the desired
spices should be added to the foods
after the thawing process.
