Customizing the storage environment

Freezer mode

9

The use of temperatures of 0°F / -18 °C or colder to store food means that the food can be kept for longer periods than when refrigeration temperatures are used. This is because the growth of bacteria, moulds and yeasts are stopped, and chemical and physical reactions are severely restricted at such low temperatures. This results in food staying fresher for longer.

To use Freezer mode:

1Press and hold the LOCK button for 3 seconds to unlock the control panel.

2 Press the MODE SELECT button.

3 Scroll to FREEZER mode.

4 The Freezer mode icon will flash until the compartment is at a suitable temperature for food to be added into the compartment (this will take between 1 – 6 hours).
