Hints and Tips
Hints for energy saving
• Most efficient use of energy is
ensured in the configuration with
the drawers in the bottom part of
the appliance and shelves evenly
distributed. Position of the door bins
does not affect energy consumption.
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than necessary.
• Do not set too high temperature to
save energy unless it is required by
the characteristics of the food.
• If the ambient temperature is high
and the temperature control is set to
low temperature and the appliance
is fully loaded, the compressor may
run continuously, causing frost or ice
formation on the evaporator. In this
case, set the temperature control
toward higher temperature to allow
automatic defrosting and to save
energy this way.
• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not
cover the ventilation grilles or holes.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
• Good temperature setting that
ensures preservation of fresh food is
a temperature less than or equal to
+4°C.
• Higher temperature setting inside the
appliance may lead to shorter shelf
life of food.
• Cover the food with packaging to
preserve its freshness and aroma.
• Always use closed containers for
liquids and for food, to avoid flavours
or odours in the compartment.
• To avoid the cross-contamination
between cooked and raw food, cover
the cooked food and separate it from
the raw one.
• It is recommended to defrost the
food inside the fridge.
• Do not insert hot food inside the
appliance. Make sure it has cooled
down at room temperature before
inserting it.
• To prevent food waste the new stock
of food should always be placed
behind the old one.
Hints for food refrigeration
• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable
packaging and place it on the glass
shelf above the vegetable drawer.
Store meat for at most 1 -2 days.

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.

EN
19
• 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) 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.
• Do not block the ventilation holes by
putting your frozen foods in front of
the ventilation 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.
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 30 hours before placing your
fresh foods.
2. 30 hours after pressing the
button, firstly place your food that
you want to freeze to the third drawer
from the bottom with higher freezing
capacity. If you have food remained,
place them in front of the second
drawer from the bottom.
3. The quick freezing function will
be automatically inactivated after 50
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.

The ice in the freezer compartments is
automatically thawed.
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.
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.
