For the preparation of food to be frozen, please consult a specialized manual. Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be refrozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24 hours) or to freeze it once again. When freezing fresh foods, remember that they should not touch other previously frozen or deep frozen foods. Place the food that you wish to freeze in the top compartment "Q" where the temperature will fall below -18°C, which is ideal for freezing food properly. Remember that proper conservation depends on the speed of freezing. The maximum amount of food you can freeze per day is indicated on the data plate situated inside the refrigerator compartment. The first time, or after the freezer has been inactive, you can only freeze food after having let the appliance function at maximum.

For large quantities of food to be frozen (up until the maximum load indicated on the data plate), keep the freezing button “G” pressed down until the yellow lamp starts flashing quickly. After 24 hours, the yellow lamp will stop flashing (permanently lit); you can now insert the food to be frozen. After 24 hours, the button will switch itself off automatically (yellow lamp off).
