Do not leave frozen food at
room temperature to thaw; the best
way to defrost food is to put it in the
fridge to thaw slowly. Make sure you
avoid defrosting food or food juices
drip onto other food.

For hygiene reasons, always
wrap food using a suitable packaging
material before storing in your
appliance to avoid contact with the
appliance surface.
Storing Frozen Food
Prepacked commercially frozen
food should be stored in accordance
with the frozen food manufacturer’s
instructions for a
frozen food
storage compartment.
To ensure that the high quality
achieved by the frozen food
manufacturer and the food retailer is
maintained, the following should be
remembered:
1.
Put packets in the freezer as
quickly as possible after purchase.
2.
Ensure that contents are
labelled and dated.
3.
Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best
Before” dates on the packaging.
If there is a power failure do not
open the door. Frozen food should not
be affected if the failure lasts for less
than 20 hrs. If the failure is longer,
then the food should be checked and
either eaten immediately or cooked
and then re-frozen.
Freezing Fresh Food
Please observe the following
instructions to obtain the best results.
Do not freeze too large a quantity at
any one time. The quality of the food
is best preserved when it is frozen
right through to the core as quickly as
possible.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity
of your appliance in 24 h which is 4 kg
(8.8 lb)
Placing warm food into the freezer
compartment causes the refrigeration
compressor to operate continuously
until the food is frozen solid. This can
temporarily lead to excessive
cooling
of
the
refrigeration
compartment.
When freezing fresh food turn the
thermostat towards MAX. Small
quantities of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb)
can be frozen without having to rotate
the temperature control.
You may place fresh food to be frozen
in any part of the freezer.
Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food.
Making Ice Cubes
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with
water and place it in the Ice Bank.
Loosen frozen trays with the handle
of a spoon, never use sharp edged
objects such as knives, forks. Store
ice-cubes in the Ice Bank.
