Fast freeze function
To activate FAST FREEZING function, please
adjust the temperature setting knob to „FAST
FREEZE” position. It is advised that you place
the foodstuffs that you wish to freeze faster in
the freezer compartment 24 hours after you
activate fast freezing function. While fast
freezing is activated, your refrigerator runs at
lowest temperature setting for freezer. Fast
freeze function lasts for 50 hours. After
terminated, your refrigerator reverts to normal
use conditions with a temperature setting of 3
even though the knob is still employed at
„FAST FREEZE” position. This ecodesign
feature provides energy saving when fast
freezing function is not cancelled for any
reason. Freezing capacity of your refrigerator
is measured and declared while fast freezing
function is active.
Storing frozen food
Your freezer is suitable for the long-term
storage of commercially frozen foods and also
can be used to freeze and store fresh food.
Freezing fresh food
Please observe the following instructions to
obtain the best results.
Do not freeze too large a quantity at any time.
The quality of the food is best preserved when
it is frozen right through to the core as quickly
as possible.
If large amounts of fresh food are going to be
frozen, adjust the control knob to „FAST
FREEZE” position with 24 hours before
putting the fresh food in the fast freeze
compartment.
It is strongly recommended to keep the knob
at „FAST FREEZE” 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.
Small quantities of food up to 1/2 kg (1 lb) can
be frozen without using the fast freezer
function.
