Storing Frozen Foods, Freezing Procedure

•Mark packages with following data: kind and amount of foods and the date of loading.

•It is most important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible. Therefore we recommend the size of the package not to be too large and to be cooled before loading into the freezer.

•The amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate (freezing capacity). If the loaded amount is too large, the quality of freezing is reduced which affects the quality of frozen foods.

Freezing Procedure

•If you have a model without the integrated switch for intensive cooling, turn the thermostat knob to position 5-7 some 24 hours before loading. After 24 hours load the freezer shelf with fresh food packages. Some 24 hours after loading, turn the thermostat knob to operating position if necessary (see Temperature selection), and then reload the frozen packages into the storage baskets.

•If you have a model with integrated switch for intensive cooling, switch it on some 24 hours before loading the appliance with larger amounts of fresh foods and turn the thermostat knob to position 5-7. After 24 hours load the appliance with fresh food packages. After loading, wait for another 24 hours and switch off the switch and turn the thermostat knob to required position (see Temperature selection). The switch is ON when the marking (I) or colour marking is visible, and OFF when the marking (0) is visible or colour marking is not visible (depending on model).

•The next time you want to freeze fresh foods, repeat the freezing procedure and be careful that packages with fresh foods do not touch frozen packages.

•For freezing smaller amount of foods (up to 1 kg) there is no need to change the thermostat setting (see Temperature Selection).

Storing Frozen Foods

Frozen foods can be stored on the bottom of the appliance or on the shelf.

Commercially Frozen Foods

•The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing commercially frozen foods are indicated on the packaging. For storing and using consider the manufacturer's instruction. When shopping, be careful and choose only adequately packed foods provided with complete data and stored in freezers where the temperature is not higher than -18°C. Do not buy packages of food covered with frost layer. This indicates that the package was thawed before at least once. Be careful that packages don't start to thaw, as the temperature raise reduces the quality of foods.
