- To ensure that nutritious elements such as vitamins are not lost, fresh food should be
deep-frozen right through as quickly as possible. To that effect, the temperature control
should be set no lower than 8 at least 24 hours before fresh food is placed into the freezer
compartment. Do not deep-freeze more than 1 kg of fresh food per day. Spread it out
well in the freezer compartment and avoid contact with food that has already been
frozen.
The food will be well frozen within 24 hours. The temperature control setting may now
be returned to the position prior to deep-freezing.
- The time required to freeze food may be shortened by dividing it into smaller portions.
- For short-term storage of food inside the freezer compartment, the temperature control
may be set to any suitable position between minimum and maximum. For long-term
storage, set the temperature control to its maximum position.
- Suitable packaging materials for frozen food are transparent (i.e. non-coloured) plastic
wrap or bags, or aluminium foil. The packaging materials should be well aired before
use; check that the package is air-tight before freezing the food. We strongly recommend
that you label every item stored in the freezer with all relevant information such as type
of food, freezing date and use-by date.
- In the event that the unit remains switched off for an extended period (during de-
frosting, power failure or short-term malfunctions up to 14 hours), do not open the door;
this will help to maintain the lowest possible temperature in the cabinet. It should be
noted, however, that even a slight rise in the inside temperature will shorten the storage
life of the food.
Main cabinet
- The temperature inside the cabinet depends mainly on the ambient temperature, the
temperature control setting and the amount of food stored.
- Initially, the temperature control should be set to position 4. If the cooling effect is too
strong, lower it to position 1-4; if it is insufficient, raise it to 4-8.
If you notice frost on the rear wall, the most likely cause is that the door has been
opened for too long, that warm food has been placed inside the refrigerator or that the
temperature control has been set too high.
- Liquid or strong-smelling food, or food which is likely to absorb strong odours (e.g.
cheese, fish, butter), should be stored separately or in hermetically sealed containers.
- Warm food should be left to cool down to room temperature before being placed in the
refrigerator.
- Because of the way the air circulates, the different areas of the refrigerator cabinet are
affected differently.
The coldest area is around the rear wall and in the lower part of the cabinet, and is most
suitable for storing delicate food such as fish, cooked or fresh meats or cold-cuts.
The warmer area is around the door and in the higher part of the cabinet, and is suitable
for storing items such as cheese and butter. In this way, the cheese will keep its flavour,
and the butter will remain spreadable.
- Always ensure that the door is properly closed and that the seal is not obstructed by food
stored inside the cabinet or door.
Making ice cubes
A special ice-cube tray is provided for making ice cubes. Fill the tray
water and place it in the freezer compartment. The ice cubes are easier to remove from the
tray if the tray is left standing at room temperature for 5 minutes.
