Saving energy
• Locate the freezer in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing
appliances and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the freezer.
Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the unit.
• Do not line the storage basket with aluminium foil, wax paper or paper towelling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.
• Do not pack food packages close together as this prevents air circulating.
• Organise and label food to reduce lid openings and extended searches. Remove as
many items as needed at one time and close the lid as soon as possible.
• Do not set the thermostat to exceedingly cold temperatures. On very hot days, or
when you have added a large quantity of fresh food, select SUPER freezing mode
temporarily
for fast freezing. (Unless cancelled earlier, SUPER freezing mode
automatically reverts to the previously set freezer temperature after 52 hours.)
• Do not open the freezer lid unnecessarily or for too long, especially during a power
failure.
Instructions (Cont.)
Power failure
• Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the
temperature inside your freezer, if you minimise the number of times the lid is
opened. However, if the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you
need to take proper steps to protect your food.
• Do not refreeze frozen food without checking its condition first.
• If in doubt, discard the food. Do not refreeze food that has thawed completely.
Going away?
• Short vacation:
Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than a month.
• Long vacation:
If you are not going to use the appliance for longer periods,
remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
To prevent odour and mould growth, leave the lid open slightly, blocking it open, if
necessary. (Restrict children’s access to the room with the open appliance to avoid
creating a child entrapment risk.)
Moving the appliance
Remove all food from inside the appliance, securely tape down the basket and tape
the lid shut. Protect the outside of the unit with a blanket or similar soft material and
make sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation.
