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.
Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most hygienic conditions as
freezing alone does not sterilise the food. It is advisable to freeze the food by packing it into
separate meal portions and not in bulk form. Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into the
freezer. Prior to storing the frozen food, pack it in plastic bags, aluminium sheets or freezer
containers and place into the freezer. See the data sheet at the rear of this booklet for the
maximum permissible amount in Kilograms of fresh food that can be frozen in any 24 hour
period with a room temperature of 25
0
C. Never freeze more than the maximum permissible.
Defrosting
Remove the mains plug from the wall socket, open the door and remove all the food to a cool
place rapping the frozen food in layers of paper to help maintain the temperature.
Defrost using a plastic scraper, or let the temperature rise naturally until the frost melts.
You can help the defrost process by placing a container of hot water in the bottom of the
freezer.
Do not use sharp object or metal instruments to remove the ice.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for
defrosting
Sponge out the defrost water collected in the bottom of the freezer compartment. After
defrosting, dry the interior thoroughly. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the
electricity supply.
Cleaning your freezer
Remove the mains plug from the wall socket, open the door and remove all the food to a cool
place.
Use a solution of a pint of lukewarm water and a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda with a soft
cloth to clean the internal cavity and dry well.
Remember to clear the defrost drain situated at the back of the cabinet just above the crisper
cover after cleaning re-insert the mains plug.
Make sure that no water enters the thermostat control box inside of the fridge cavity.
We recommend that you polish the metal parts of the product (i.e. door exterior, cabinet
sides).
With a silicone wax (car polish) to protect the high quality paint finish.
Any dust that gathers on the condenser, which is located at the back of the appliance, should
be removed once a year with a vacuum cleaner.
