Using your chest freezer

Getting the most from your appliance

.

Use a polythene bag to store raw meat and place 

  on the lowest shelf. Avoid contact with cooked 
  food to prevent contamination. For safety 
  reason, store raw meat for two to three days only.

.

Cooked dishes must be stored in airtight covered 

  containers.

.

Food should cool to room temperature.

.

Most vegetables should be blanched and chilled 

  before freezing.

.

Do not leave frozen food at room temperature to 

  thaw.  You could defrost the food by putting it in 
  the fridge to thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid 
  defrosting food from dropping food juices on 
  to other food.

Energy saving tips

Place your fridge  away  from direct sunlight, 

  your oven or any other heat sources. Allow 
  20 cm clear space on both sides and above, 
  and at least 5 cm behind. 

Cover all food stored, and arrange it so that cold 

  air can circulate freely. 

Higher cold setting will use more energy.  Do not 

  set to maximum cold if it is not necessary.

Cool the hot/warm food to room temperature 

  before put them into your fridge.

Frequently opening and closing the door will 

  cause the internal temperature to rise  and it 
  will consume more energy.

Close the door(s) properly, and make sure the 

  seals and hinges are airtight. Check the seals by 
  putting a sheet of paper between the door and 
  the main body of the fridge. If the paper moves, 
  your seals need replacing. 

Defrost regularly if your chest freezer is not a 

  frost-free or cyclic defrost  model. Accumulated 
  ice layer should not be more than 5 mm thick.

The pre-set combination of drawers, baskets and 

  shelves have already been set in the most 
  efficient way for the use of this product.

The appliance requires defrosting once or twice 

  a year when the ice layer thickness 
  5~10mm.  Unplug the appliance from the mains 
  before defrosting.

Remove all frozen food from the freezer and 

  roll it firmly in newspapers.  Put it into a 
  container in a cool place for temporary storage.

Use an ice scraper (not provided) or similar tool 

  to remove the ice layer.  This process can be 
  speeded up by placing a pot

Empty the defrosting water and clean the 

  freezer.

Turn on the freezer and set to maximum 

  temperature.  Re fill the froz en food to freezer.

This process should be completed within 

  2 hours.
