Almost all fresh products are suitable for freezing and storing in the freezer.
Label fresh products clearly so they are easily found when placed in the freezer baskets.
To deep freeze fresh food, place the fresh food in the SUPER FROST (top) drawer and press the SUPER
FROST button. Do not freeze more than 6kg every 24 hours.
When the food is frozen move it down to the lower baskets in the freezer. The freezer automatically
switches off SUPER FROST mode or it can be manually turned off by pressing the SUPER FROST
button [

Precautions
The freezer is capable of producing very cold
temperatures which may cause injury if safety
precautions are not observed:
O
Do not attempt to freeze carbonated drinks such
as ‘fizzy pop’, mineral water, champagne etc. as
the bottles may break when frozen. Drinks in
PEP plastic bottles must not be frozen.
O
The freezer must only be used for the storing of
edible foodstuffs.
O
Frozen food that has thawed should not be re-
frozen.
Frozen food storage
Food which has been purchased frozen should be
kept in its original packaging. Maximum storage
times and expiry dates are usually given on the
food packaging.
IMPORTANT
Do not re-freeze food that has thawed or partially
thawed.
When cooking food you must ensure it has
thoroughly thawed, especially important regarding
poultry and sea food.
Do not overload the food baskets and always allow
space between the packages of food. This ensures
that cold air is free to circulate and prevents the
food packages from sticking together.
When removing ice cubes from the tray it may help
to hold the tray under running water for a few
seconds in order to loosen the ice.
When freezing hot food allow it to cool before
placing it in the freezer. Always store it away from
food which is already frozen.
