There is no need to set the thermostat knob to the position for continuous operation if you intend to freeze smaller amount of fresh foods (1-2 kg).

Storing Frozen Foods

Packages of frozen foods are stored in baskets. If you remove the baskets, you can store frozen packages directly on the cooling shelves.

Storing Commercially Frozen Foods

The storage time and recommended temperature for storing commercially frozen foods is indicated on the packaging. For storing and use consider manufacturer's instruction.

When shopping, be careful and choose only packages of foods which are adequately packed and provided with complete data and stored in freezers where the temperature is not higher than -18°C.

Do not buy packages of food wrapped with frost. This indicates that the package was thawed before at least once. Take care that packages don't start to thaw. Temperature rise shortens the storage time of commercially frozen foods.
