FREEZING FRESH FOOD
Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.
Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration compressor to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.
When freezing fresh food turn the setting knob towards. Max small quantities of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be frozen without having to rotate the temperature control knob.
You may place fresh food to be frozen in any part of the freezer.
