STORING FROZEN FOOD
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
MAKING ICE CUBES
DEFROSTING
Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage of commercially frozen foods and also can
be used to freeze and store fresh food.
If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the
failure lasts for less than 16 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked
and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.
Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.
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 core as quickly as possible.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h.
Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration machine to
operate continously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive
cooling of the refrigeration compartment.
When freezing fresh food, keep the setting knob at medium position. Small quantities of
food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be frozen without adjusting the temperature control knob.
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the Ice Bank. Loosen frozen trays
with the handle of a spoon, never use sharp edged objects such as knives, forks. Store ice-
cubes in the Ice Bank.
If freshly made ice cubes are not consumed for several weeks and stored in Ice
Bank, they will slowly reduce in size and eventually disappear completely.
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The
defrost water runs to the drain tube via a collection
container at the back of the appliance.
During defrosting, water droplets may form at the
back of the fridge compartment where a concealed
evaporator is located. Some droplets may remain on
the liner and refreeze when defrosting is completed.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects such as
knives or forks to remove the droplets which have
refrozen.
If, at any time, the defrost water does not drain from
the collection channel, check that no food particles
have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube can be
cleared with a pipe-cleaner or
Pushing the special plastic plunger provided
down the drain tube (2).
Check that the tube is permanently placed with its
end in the collecting tray on the compressor to
prevent the water spilling. If the frost layer
reaches about 1/4'' (7 mm), reduce the setting
(i.e. from 4 to 1) to restart automatic defrosting.
