FREEZING FRESH FOOD
Freezing capacity of your appliance in a 24 hours period is 10.5 kg (23 lb). Never
exceed this maximum capacity.
If you are going to freeze fresh food in excess of 2 kg. (4.5 lb) turn on the fast
freeze switch and wait for about three hours before placing the fresh food in the
freezer. Remember to turn off the fast freeze switch.
Fast freeze compartment (7) is shown in diagram. Leave the fast freeze switch on
for about 24 hours if the maximum quantity (10.5 kg / 23 lb) is being frozen.
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 centre as quickly as possible.
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.
If the fast freeze compartment (7) is filled with fresh food, other
compartments can also be used to freeze fresh food. Ice-bank (6) has
been specially designed to obtain ice cubes (see making Ice Cubes).
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.
The freezing area is marked with
symbol on the door liner.
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.
Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.
3.
If there are no instructions on the packet, refer to the storage life guide on the
door liner.
4.
Please note that drawers, baskets, flaps, trays are all removable.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT
Temperature is controlled by the thermostat which is located on the rear wall of
the cabinet (see the diagram on page 5). Thermostat knob is located on the
indicator light set. "Number 4" is the coldest setting (see the diagram on page 8).
The normal storage temperature of your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F). Lower
temperatures may be obtained by adjusting the thermostat knob towards 'number
4 ' position.
We recommend that you check the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that
the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember you
must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer temperature will rise
very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.
Please remember each time the door is opened cold air escapes and the internal
temperature rises. Therefore never leave the door open and ensure it is closed
immediately after food is put in or removed.
