of use, let the appliance run at least 2
hours on the higher settings before putting
food in the compartment.

to be rapidly and completely frozen and to
make it possible to subsequently thaw only
the quantity required.
Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or
polyethylene food wraps which are airtight,
Do not allow fresh
，
unfrozen food to touch
the food which is already frozen to avoid
temperature rise of the latter.
Iced products

if consumed immediately
after
removal
from
the
freezer
compartment, will probably cause frost
burns to the skin.
It is recommended to label and date each
frozen package in order to keep track of the
storage time.
