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.
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.
Ensure that contents are labelled and
dated.
3.
Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best
Before” dates on the packaging.
4.
If there is a power failure do not open
the door. Frozen food should not be
affected if the failure lasts for less than
13 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the
food should be checked and either
eaten immediately or cooked and
then re-frozen.
Freezing Fresh Food
Please observe the following structions
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.
Placing warm food into the freezer
compartment causes the refrigeration
compressor to operate continuously
until the food is frozen solid. This can
temporarily lead to excessive cooling of
the refrigeration compartment.
When freezing fresh food turn the
setting towards Max. Small quantities
of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be
frozen without having to rotate the
temperature control .
You may place fresh food to be frozen
in any part of the freezer.
Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food.
Making Ice Cubes
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.
Note: 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.
Defrosting
A) Fridge Compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts
automatically. The defrosting water
runs to the drain tube via a collection
container at the back of the appliance
(1). (see diagram) During defrosting
water droplets may form at the back
of the fridge compartment where
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, forks to remove
the droplets which have frozen.
