decreasing excessively during the freezing process.
3. Wrap and seal the food in: aluminium foil, cling film,
watertight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or
special freezer containers.
4. Place food in the top compartment, leaving enough space
for air to circulate around pac s. To speed up the freezing
process and increase the compartment capacity remove the
top bas et and the ice pac storage drawer (if provided).
Put the already frozen food into the other drawers and the
food still to be frozen directly onto the refrigerator grid.
5. Fresh food will be completely frozen after 24 hours.
Press the freeze button (4) again to deactivate the function.
Note:
In the event of a power failure, the freezer compartment
maintains the correct storage temperature as indicated on the

maintained for about 25/30 hours.
Do not open the freezer compartment door during a power
failure.
Import nt:
The t ble longside shows the recommended m ximum
stor ge time for frozen fresh foods.
When purch sing frozen food products:
Ensure that the pac aging is not damaged (frozen food in
damaged pac aging may have deteriorated). If the pac age is
swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored
under optimal conditions and defrosting may have already
begun.
When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and
transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.
Place the items in the freezer compartment as soon as you
get home.
If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it.
