For the preparation of food to be fr ozen, please con-
sult a specialized manual. 

- Food that has be thawe d, even partially, m ust not be 
re-frozen: you must c ook it in order to  consume it (within 
24 hours) or to freeze  it once again. 
- When freezing fresh f oods, remember that they  should 
not touch other previ ously frozen or deep fr ozen foods. 
Place the food that you wish  to freeze in the top com-
partment where the t emperature will fall below     -18°C, 
which is ideal for fr eezing food properl y. Remember that 
proper conservation depends on the spe ed of freezing. 
- During the freezing process , avoid opening the door of  
the freezer. 
- Freeze only the quan tities (in kg) shown  on the data 
plate situated inside th e refrigerator compar tment. 
- For the best conservati on and defrosting, remember to 
freeze small portions;  this will ensure rapi d and uniform 
freezing. Mark package wi th a description of the con-
tents and the date it was  frozen. 
- In the case of power fa ilure or breakdown, d o not  

open the freezer door. Thi s will help maintain the tem pera-
ture inside the freez er ensuring that foods  are conserved for 
at least 17 hours. 
- Do not store full bottles in  the freezer since they coul d ex-
plode when they freez e. (Remember that l iquids increase in 
volume when frozen). 
-If  the room temperatur e remains below 14°C  for an ex-
tended period of tim e the freezer will  not reach the tem-
peratures required for  storage, and storage li fe will be 
shorter. In this case,  frozen foodstuffs  should be used withi n a 
relatively short peri od of time.  
 In order to freeze an d then thaw foods op timally, it is rec-
ommended that you div ide food into small  portions so that 
they freeze quickly an d uniformly. The pack ages should be 
clearly marked with the  content and the date th ey were 
frozen. 
 If it is required to store a lar ge quantity of foodstu ff, you may 
easily take out central  drawer, and place th e food directly 
onto the evaporator plate. Mak e sure that, after having in-
serted the load, the d oor closes correctl y.
