compartment .
The maximum number of kilograms of fresh food
that can be frozen within a 24-hour period is indicated
on the rating plate (…kg/24h) .

we recommend to use the coldest areas of your freezer
compartment, corresponding to the top FREEZER com-
partment where the rapid freezing is guaranteed.

. Adding a label will help you to identify foods and to
know when they should be used before their quality
deteriorates. Do not re-freeze defrosted food .

foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene
containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for

is frozen .
