When the freezer is first switched on, the warning light will stay on until the temperature has dropped to a safe level for the storage of frozen food.

Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 16 kg of fresh food.
Activate fast freeze by depressing the
After the time has elapsed place the food to be frozen in the appliance's two top compartments; if freezing only a small amount of food, use the top compartment.
In the top compartment, products must only be stacked up to the mark on the cabinet interior so as to ensure that air circulation is not obstructed.
You should never freeze more than 16 kg of fresh food at anyone time.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take up to 24 hours) the fast freeze function can be ended at any time by depressing the button (4) again. The yellow light (3) goes out.
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other compartments, so that the top compartments can be used for a further freezing operation.
Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned foodstuffs.
Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is already frozen.
During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer door remains closed.
Frozen food storage
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least two hours in the «fast freeze» mode before storing frozen food.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, we strongly recommend that you make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer and, furthermore, be sure that these frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the consumer in the shortest possible time (a temperature increase of the frozen food could shorten its storage period).
It is also advisable not to exceed the storage period indicated by the producer of the food.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the freezer compartment.
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can possibly result in a low temperature skin burn.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or "frost/freezer burns".
If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen food, do not open the door during the whole time of the power failure. If the freezer is fully loaded, the frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration; otherwise, it is recommended to consume the food within a very short time.
To remove the drawers, proceed as follows: pull the drawer out until it comes to a stop, then tilt it upwards (see figure).
