6.4 Freezing Fresh Food
Place fresh food to be frozen near the side walls to ensure fast freezing and away from already frozen
food, if possible.
Freezing capacity of your appliance in a 24 hours period is as below:
Never exceed this maximum capacity. 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 center as quickly as
possible.
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
7. Defrosting
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm (1/4”) has formed.
Alternatively you may Switch OFF the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug.
Extract the water conduit and put in a water container.
6 hours before the defrosting, please set the thermostat knob at “MAX” position to make sure the food
is at the lowest temperature when you get it out. All food should be wrapped in several layers of
newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Remove the freezer basket. Leave the lid open. Containers of warm water may be placed carefully in
the freezer to speed up the defrosting.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for defrosting. When
defrosting has finished flow out defrost water which collects at the bottom of the freezer as the below
diagram and dry the interior thoroughly. Switch ON the Fast Freeze and leave it ON for about three
hours.
