The Freezer
Freezing fresh food
When freezing fresh food always place the food in the
freezing compartment which is the top drawer in the
freezer section.
1. Turn the thermostat control knob to the maximum
setting.
2. Place the food to be frozen in the top drawer.
3. After 24 hours return the thermostat control knob
to the medium setting and place the frozen food
into the storage compartments.
Frozen Food Storage
When first starting the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run
your appliance for at least 2 hours before storing
frozen food.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manufacturer.
Do not open the door frequently or leave it open
longer than is necessary.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer.
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer can cause a low temperature skin
burn.
In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer
will not be affected if the power cut is short and the
freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should the
food begin to thaw it must be consumed quickly
and must not be re-frozen. (See Hints and Tips)
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands
are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or
frost/freezer burns.
Thawing
Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used,
can be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature,
depending on the time available. Small food items
may even be cooked from frozen, in this case
cooking will take longer.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw
accidentally should either be eaten as soon as
possible, or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is
uncooked and has not been completely defrosted
it can be cooked and then refrozen.
Defrosted cooked food must never be
refrozen.

To Make Ice Cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray
¾
full with cold water, place
in the freezing compartment and leave to freeze.
2. To remove the cubes twist the tray or hold it
under running water for a few seconds.
Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to
the freezer compartment by using pointed
or sharp edged objects.
