Freezing fresh food
a. The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long
time.

fellows:
a) Pull out the plug from socket
b) Remove all stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place
c) Keep the door open, and placing a basin underneath of the appliance to collect the defroast water
d) When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thotoughly
e) Replace the plug in the power socket to run the appliance again
8) Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin
to be freeze burn.
9) It is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage
time.
Hints for storage of frozen food.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:

- Be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to the freezer in the shotest possible time.
