• Secure the freezer’s supply cord behind the unit. Do not leave it exposed or dangling
to prevent injury and accidental disconnection from the power supply.
•
Adjust the temperature control as described below.
4.3 Freezer Compartment
The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and long-term storage (up
to three months) of frozen food. It is designed to operate in ambient (surrounding air)
temperatures between 16°C and 43°C. For convenient access and organized storage,
the freezer compartment is equipped with a wire storage basket.
4.4 Freezing Fresh Food
• Only freeze fresh food that has been thoroughly cleaned.
• Do not store food uncovered in the freezer. Always use good quality, freezer-proof
packaging to maintain food quality. Remove air from packages of solid food and seal
bags tightly before freezing.
• Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and labeled. This will help you keep
track of storage times.
• Keep portions small to ensure they are frozen (and subsequently defrosted) rapidly.
• Make sure that fresh, unfrozen food packages do not touch food that is already
frozen, thus avoiding a temperature rise in the frozen food.
• When freezing food, do not push food together too much; leave some space for air
to circulate around each item. Do not place packages directly against the back wall.
• When adding large amounts of fresh food to the freezer, keep in mind that it will take
approximately 24 hours for fresh food to freeze to solid frozen state. For best results,
do not add other fresh food to the freezer drawer during this time.
• Do not place hot foods or liquids which may evaporate in the freezer compartment.
4.5 Storing Frozen Food
• When buying frozen food, only buy quantities that you can store straight away; use
an insulated container for your shopping and when you get home, place the food in
the freezer immediately.
• When storing pre-packed, commercially frozen food, follow the food manufacturer’s
instructions for storing the food in a home freezer. Do not exceed any storage times
listed on the packaging.
• Once you have opened a packet of frozen food, rewrap it airtight to prevent surface
evaporation which causes drying or freezer burn.
•
Do not place carbonated liquids such as bottles of fizzy drink in the freezer as the
container could explode under pressure and damage the freezer.
• Do not refreeze food once it has been defrosted.
• Frozen food which has thawed accidentally should either be used immediately or
thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely
defrosted, it may be cooked and then refrozen.
• CAUTION! Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp or wet as
this could cause skin abrasions.
