Use of the freezer
When buying ready-frozen food, the
following precautions should be
observed:
1 Check that the packaging is intact.
2 Make sure that the products have not exceeded
their expiry date.
3 Check that the thermometer of the freezer
where the food is being bought is indicating a
temperature at or below -18
°
C.
4 Once bought frozen foods should be exposed
to as little heat as possible and should be
placed in the home freezer as quickly as
possible.
Freezing food at home
1 When freezing food at home, use only fresh food.
2
The following foods are suitable for freezing
meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, bread, cake, cooked
rice and cooked, left-over foods.
3
The following foods are not suitable for
freezing
raw eggs, yogurt, mayonnaise, lettuce, radish,
pepper and onion.
Packing food
1
Before freezing pack the food in tightly
sealed containers or bags so that it does not
lose its taste, color or nutritional value and so
that it does not dry out.
2 The following are suitable packing materials;
polyethylene bags, aluminium foil and
freezing-proof containers. All of these materials
are available at department stores or stores
which specialize in this line of business.
3 The following are unsuitable packing materials;
wrapping paper, vellum paper, cellophane,
rubbish bags and used shopping bags.
4 If possible, eliminate the air from the packing
container.
5 Before placing wrapped food in the freezer mark
the date that the food is being placed in the
freezer and also mark the contents. For all types
of food there is a limited amount of time that the
food can be stored frozen, before it starts to
deteriorate.
Maximum freezing capacity
The freezing capacity (kg/24h) indicated on the
electric label which is sticked on back of the
refrigerator shows the amount of food that can
be frozen at one time within 24 hours.
Quick freezing Figure
1 If a large amount of food should be frozen at
one time, the “super” function should run for
several hours before the food is stored.
Usually 4-6 hours of quick freezing in advance
is enough. If you would like to fully use the
maximum freezing capacity, the “super”
function could run 24 hours in advance (Note:
at the same time the thermostate of cooler
should be set to a low position, e.g.
position ).
2 The “super” function is unnecessary if food
less than 4kg need to be frozen.
3 Press down “super” button 7 ( the quick
freezing indicating light 8 will shine ) and
the refrigerator will run in quick freezing.
Remember that after the freezing process is
finished the “super” button 7 should be
pressed again to cancel quick freezing (light 8
will extinct ) for energy saving. If you
forget to press button 7 , after 51 hours the
“super” function would be cancelled
automatically and the original control state
would be restored.
Notice: When the maximum freezing
capacity is applied, the top two baskets of
freezer are only used for storage of
thoroughly-frozen food ( one of the
baskets is berry-basket ). If possible it
should be avoided to use the top two
baskets for freezing fresh food. The fresh
