boiled for a short period of time before
freezing. (Boiling is not necessary for
foods such as cucumber, parsley.) Cook-
ing 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 dur-
able 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 to Freeze Food:
Polyethylene bag, aluminium foil, plastic
foil, vacuum bags and cold-resistant stor-
age containers with caps.

• When placing unfrozen fresh foods in the
freezer compartment, please note that it
does not contact with frozen foods. Cool-
pack (PCM) can be placed to the rack im-
mediately below the quick freezing 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 con-
sumed in a short period of time after de-
frosting and must never be frozen again.
• Do not block the ventilation holes by put-
ting your frozen foods in front of the vent-
ilation holes located on the back surface.
• We recommend you to attach a label
onto the package and write the name of
the foods in the package and the freezing
time.

kg) can also be frozen without the use of
the quick freezing function.
To obtain the best result, apply the follow-
ing instructions:
1. Activate the quick freezing function 24
hours before placing your fresh foods.
2. 24 hours after you have pressed the
button, first place your food that you
want to freeze to the top shelf with
higher freezing capacity. Place your re-
maining food, if any, to the rightmost
part of the second shelf.
3. The quick freezing function will be
automatically deactivated after 52
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 Capa-
city … kg/24 hours» on its type label. It
is not convenient to put more un-
frozen/fresh foods to the freezer com-
partment than the quantity specified on
the label.
• You can review the Meat and Fish, Veget-
ables and Fruits, Dairy Products tables
for placing and storing your foods in the
deep-freezer.
Advice on Storing Frozen Foods
• While purchasing your frozen foods,
make sure that they are frozen at appro-
priate temperatures and their packages
are not broken.
• Put the packages in the freezer compart-
ment as soon as possible after purchas-
ing them.
• Make sure that the expiration date indic-
ated on the packaging is not expired be-
fore consuming the packaged ready
meals that you remove from the freezer
compartment.
Defrosting
The ice in the freezer compartments is
automatically thawed.
Freezer Details
The EN 62552 standard requires (according
to specific measurement conditions) that
at least 4.5 kg of food for each 100 litres of
freezer compartment volume can be frozen
at 25 °C ambient temperature in 24 hours.
Defrosting the Frozen Foods
Depending on the food diversity and the
purpose of use, a selection can be made
between the following options for defrost-
ing:
• At room temperature (it is not very suit-
able 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 swell-
ing 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 the taste of some spices in cooked
meals may change when exposed to
long-term storage conditions, you must
add lesser amount of spices to your
foods to be frozen or the desired spices
should be added to the foods after the
thawing process.
