A special card is located in the holder on the inner
door of the freezer compartment. On the upper part it
shows pictures of different types of food followed by a
Ţgure. These Ţgures indicate the maximum storage
10 Kgtime, in months, for each type of food.
Details of food being stored, can also be written in
10 Kgpencil on the lower part of the card.
Important
When electrical current happens to be cut off, the
freezer door must not be opened. If the power failure
is short (up to 6-8 hours) and the freezer is full, there is
no risk that the food will spoil.
If the power failure lasts longer, the food must be con-
sumed as rapidly as possible, or otherwise cooked
and re-frozen again.
D169
Arrange the foods to be frozen in the upper compart-
ment, so that these do not come into contact with al-
ready-frozen products because the higher surface
temperature of the food to be frozen might cause an
increase in the surface temperature of the already fro-
zen products.
When the necessary freezing time has elapsed, dis-
tribute the newly-frozen foods into the drawers to free
the compartment for new foods to be frozen.
Rules to observe when freezing foods
All products to be frozen must be fresh and of excel-
lent quality.
Each freezing package must be adjusted to the fami-
lyOs consumption quantity in order to be used just
once.
