In determining the correct temperature control setting,all these factors have to be considered and
some experimentation may be necessary.Do not all children to tamper with the controls or play
with the product.
The freezer compartment
The symbol means that your freezer will store frozen food at -18°C (-0.4F) or colder all-
owing for long term frozen food storage and freezing of fresh food.The freezer temperature is co-
ntrolled automatically by the thermostat situated in the control panel. Due to the different installa-
tions, methods of usage and weather conditions,adjustments to the temperature settings may be
required. These are best assessed against a temperature reading on a thermometer buried in the
frozen food. The reading must be taken quickly as the thermometer temperature will rise rapidly
after removal.
Freezing fresh food
The maximum quantity of food you can freeze in 24 hours is 4kg. Place the fresh food on the top
freezer shelf. Food may need rearranging to achieve this. During the freezing process the tempe-
rature of fresh food should be reduced quickly so that ice crystals are kept as small as possible to
prevent damaging the structure of food. If freezing takes place slowly large ice crystals form and
these will affect the quality of food once it has defrosted.
Switch the fast freeze switch to“on”24 hours before loading the food.After loading the food return
the switch to “off”. Existing frozen foods should be rearranged to leave space on the top two sh-
elves for freezing. The packets to be frozen should be placed on the shelf in contact with the shelf
surface as far as possible and spaced apart to allow cold air to circulate between them. They sh-
ould not touch existing packets.
If there is a room.Transfer the food you have frozen to the baskets or drawer to allow you to freeze
a further load on the top shelf. No harm will result if you forger to turn off the fast freeze switch after
24 hours, but for reasons of economy, try to remember to turn it off when freezing is complete.The
“Fast freeze” light should remind you of this. Exceptionally large items can be stored by removing
the upper basket. Frozen food should not be refrozen once it has thawed out. Do not remove it-
ems from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or “frost/
freezer burns”.
For safety reasons,the freezer baskets are fitted with stops but are readily removed by pulling them
forward to the stop, then lifting the front and pulling all the way out. Re-fit by reversing this proce-
dure.
