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 equalize and
allow the door to open normally after
a few minutes.
You will hear a vacuum sound just
after closing the door. This is quite
normal.
Fast freeze
If large amounts of fresh food are
going to be frozen, adjust the control
knob to max. 24 hours before putting
the fresh food in the fast freeze
compartment.
It is strongly recommended to
keep the knob at MAX. position at
least 24 hours to freeze maximum
amount of fresh food declared as
freezing capacity. Take special care
not to mix frozen food and fresh food.
Remember to turn the thermostat
knob back to
position once food has frozen.
Defrosting
The freezer compartment defrosts
automatically.

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.
• Frozen food must be used
immediately after they are thawed
and they should never be re-frozen.
• Please observe the following
instructions to obtain the best
results.
1. Do not freeze too large
quantities of food at one time. The
quality of the food is best preserved
when it is frozen right through to the
core as quickly as possible.
2. Placing warm food into
the freezer compartment causes
the cooling system to operate
continuously until the food is frozen
solid.
