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.
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.
STARTING
Final Check
Before you start using the fridge/freezer check that:
1.
The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear of the cabinet.
2.
Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE."
3.
Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply.
• When the door is open the fridge interior light will come on
.
4.
You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed
within
the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the compressor
is running
or not which is quite normal.
5.
Front edges of the cabinet may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are
designed
to be warm to avoid condensation.
6.
"Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on
.
Wait until the correct
storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you check the
temperature with an accurate thermometer
"
.
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
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 which is
3.5
kg (
7.7
lb)
.
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.
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. Loosen frozen trays with the handle of a
spoon, never use sharp edged objects such as knives, forks.
Note:
If freshly made ice cubes are not consumed for several weeks, they will slowly
reduce in size and eventually disappear completely.
