Using your freezer
Defrosting of the appliance
Defrost twice a year or when a frost
layer of around 7 mm (1/4”) has
formed.
To start defrosting procedure turn the
thermostat knob to zero position
(Alternatively you may switch off the
freezer at the socket outlet and pull
out the mains plug.)
All food should be wrapped in several
layers of newspaper and stored in a
cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Remove all freezer drawers.The special
defrost collection basin collects the
defrost water. Therefore defrosting
can be conducted without mess.
Containers full of warm water may be
placed carefully in the freezer to
speed up the defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp edged
objects such as knives, forks to
remove the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters
and other similar electrical
appliances for defrosting.
When defrosting has finished, sponge
out any defrost water which collects
at the bottom of the freezer and
dry the interior thoroughly. Turn
the thermostat knob to 2. Close
the freezer door. Insert the plug
into the wall socket and switch on
the electricity supply. Don’t forget
to tape over the switch to avoid
accidental disconnection.
Storing Frozen Food
Prepacked commercially frozen
food should be stored in accordance
with the frozen food manufacturer’s
instructions for a
frozen food
storage compartment.
The freezing area is marked with
symbol on the door liner.
To ensure that the high quality
achieved by the frozen food
manufacturer and the food retailer is
maintained the following should be
remembered:
1.
Put packets in the freezer as
quickly as possible after purchase.
2.
Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best
Before” dates on the packaging.
3.
Please note that drawers,
baskets, flaps, trays are all removable.
Freezing Fresh Food
Freezing capacity of your appliance
in a 24 hours period is 10.5 kg (23 lb).
Never exceed this maximum capacity.
If you are using the maximum
freezing capacity, turn the thermostat
knob to position 4.

shown in diagram.
Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food.
If the fast freeze compartment
(3) is filled with fresh food, other
compartments can also be used to
freeze fresh food.
