Freezing Fresh Food

It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is
frozen quickly and that the food already in the freezer
is heated as little as possible.

If more than 3-4kg of food is to be frozen:

1. Press the SUPER button 6-24 hours before placing

fresh food in the freezer. The freezer will now run
continuously creating a sufficient reserve of the
required temperature.

2. Place the food in the freezer and leave the SUPER

button on for a further 24 hours.

3. Then turn the SUPER button off. The freezer will

return to nomal storage conditions.

If you forget to turn the SUPER button off, the
freezer will not be damaged, but energy will
be wasted.

The freezing capacity of the freezer is stated in the
rating plate (kg/24 hours). Do not exceed the amount
stated - if you do, the freezing time will be extended.
The rating plate is located inside the lid.

If you wish to freeze food several days in a row, please
observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4 of
that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best
preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as
quickly as possible.

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 lid 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.

Do not remove items from the freezer if your
hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin
abrasions or frost/freezer burns.

In the event of a power cut, do not open the lid.
The food in the freezer will not be affected if the
power cut is short and the freezer is full.  Should
the food begin to thaw it must be consumed
quickly and must not be re-frozen.

(See Hints and Tips)

Thawing

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.
