Freezer compartment
Temperature Control
• To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change
the setting of the thermostat knob.
• For a quicker freezing operation, turn the
thermostat knob to the coldest setting; but
remember that, in this condition, the refrigerator
compartment temperature might drop below 0°C. If
this occurs reset thermostat knob to a warmer
setting.
• At the first starting-up or after a period out of use,
before putting the products in the compartment, let
the appliance run for at least two hours on the
coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to
the normal operating position.
Interior Accessories

Hints
Freezing of fresh food and storage of frozen food
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be
rapidly and completely frozen and to make it
possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity
required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene
and make sure that the packages are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food
which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in
temperature of the latter.
• Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your
hands could stick to the food and cause skin
abrasions.
• It is advisable to show the freezing-in date on each
individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the
storage time.
• Be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from
the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible
time.
• Do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks,
etc.) in the freezing compartment as they may
burst.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and
cannot be refrozen.
