Freezing
The appliance can be used to freeze fresh food of quantity specified on the data label. Freezing different products should always be done after proper preparing as follows.
Set the thermostat knob to a medium position.
Put the previously frozen food - or some of it - to the basket or baskets. Put the
fresh food into the freezing compartment, leaving enough space for airflow. If there is some previously frozen food left in the freezing compartment, put this food into the back of the compartment avoiding the contact between the fresh food and the already frozen food.
Run the appliance this way for 24 hours.
After 24 hours set the thermostat knob according to your choice or leave it in a medium position, which is in general appropriate for everyday cooling needs.
Setting the thermostat knob to a higher (e.g. maximum) position is not recommended. Although doing so
would make the freezing time shorter, on the other hand the temperature of the fridge compartment may go permanently below 0 °C, what yields freezing the food and drinks stored there.
Never freeze food in bigger quantity than given in the
'Technical data' at the same time, otherwise freezing will not be thorough and after dissolving various deterioration may take place (losing taste and aroma, lysing, etc.).
Do not make ice during freezing preferably, because making ice
reduces freezing capacity.

Storing in the freezer
It is practical to replace frozen products into the basket(s) after freezing has finished. Doing this you could make room in the freezing compartment for another freezing. Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods already stored.
In large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the baskets except the lowermost one from appliance and place food on the cooling surface.
Do not forget to keep to the storage time given on the
packaging of frozen products if you buy them frozen. To store
It is safe to store
dissolved even for a short time until placing them into the freezer. If the deep- frozen food has already dissolved, refreezing is not recommended, it has to be used up as soon as possible
