Proper Freezer Use

Optimal freezing practices for food preservation and energy efficiency.

Pre-freeze hot foods: Allow cooked foods to cool to room temperature before freezing.
Package properly: Use airtight containers or freezer bags to prevent freezer burn.
Label and date: Mark packages with contents and freezing date.
Organize by date: Practice FIFO (First In, First Out) system.
Maximum load: Do not exceed freezing capacity indicated in specifications.
Door management: Minimize door opening time and frequency.

Tip: Divide large quantities into smaller portions for faster freezing and easier use.

Defrosting & Cleaning

Manual defrost required when frost layer exceeds 5mm thickness.

Preparation: Remove all food, place in coolers or another freezer.
Turn off: Unplug freezer or turn thermostat to 0 position.
Speed defrost: Place bowls of hot water inside and keep door closed for 15 minutes.
Remove ice: Use plastic scraper (never metal or sharp objects).
Clean interior: Use mild detergent solution, then rinse with clean water.
Dry thoroughly: Wipe interior completely dry before restarting.
Restart: Plug in, set thermostat, wait 2-3 hours before reloading food.

WARNING! Never use sharp objects to remove ice. Never use chemical cleaners or abrasives.

Energy Saving Tips

Maximize efficiency and reduce electricity consumption.

Maintain temperature at -18°C (adequate for food preservation).
Ensure door seals are clean and tight (test with paper strip).
Defrost regularly to maintain efficiency.
Position away from heat sources (ovens, radiators, direct sunlight).
Allow hot foods to cool before freezing.
Keep freezer reasonably full (empty space requires more energy to cool).
