Use Baskets: Store smaller items, packets, and frozen vegetables in the removable wire baskets.
Bottom Compartment: Ideal for larger items like joints of meat or frozen pizzas.
Door Shelves/Bins: Use for frequently accessed items like ice packs, frozen fruits, or ice cream.
Avoid Overloading: Do not block air vents inside the freezer. Allow space for air circulation.
Label and Date: Label packages with contents and date of freezing for easy identification.

Tip: Group similar items together (meats, vegetables, prepared meals) to find them quickly.

Freezing Fresh Food

To preserve quality, follow proper freezing techniques.

Preparation: Blanch vegetables before freezing. Cool cooked food completely before freezing.
Packaging: Use airtight, moisture-proof packaging (freezer bags, containers) to prevent freezer burn.
Portioning: Freeze food in usable portions.
Loading: Place packages in contact with the freezer walls or shelves for faster freezing. Leave space between new items until frozen solid.
Fast Freeze: If available, activate the "Fast Freeze" function (or turn thermostat to MAX) several hours before adding fresh food. Return to normal setting after 24 hours.

WARNING! Do not refreeze thawed food unless it has been cooked thoroughly first.

Defrosting and Cleaning

Manual defrost is required when frost build-up exceeds 6-7 mm.

Defrosting:
- Turn the thermostat to "0" or "OFF" and unplug the freezer.
- Remove all food, wrap it in newspapers or blankets, and store in a cool place.
- Place towels or a shallow pan at the bottom to catch water.
- Leave the door open to allow frost to melt naturally. Do not use sharp objects or heaters to speed up defrosting.
- Wipe out all water and melted frost. Dry the interior thoroughly.
Cleaning:
- Unplug the freezer before cleaning.
- Clean interior with a solution of warm water and mild detergent or baking soda. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry.
- Clean exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Clean door gasket with warm, soapy water to ensure a good seal.
Reconnect: Plug in the freezer, set the thermostat, and allow it to cool down before reloading food.

CAUTION! Never use sharp tools to remove ice. Never use electrical appliances inside the freezer to speed defrosting.

Energy Saving Tips

Ensure the door seal is clean and intact.
Defrost regularly to maintain efficiency.
Allow hot food to cool to room temperature before freezing.
Open the door as little as possible and for the shortest time.
Ensure the freezer is placed away from heat sources (oven, radiator, direct sunlight).
Check that the thermostat is not set colder than necessary.
Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliance.
