Operation (continued)
Using the Freezer
At any time when loading appreciable quantities of unfrozen
foods, run the freezer with the Boost switch (10) on for at least
8 hours before placing the food in the freezer and return it to the
off position, when the food is frozen. Always allow 24 hours to
ensure complete freezing.
When adding already frozen food, it will not be necessary to turn
the Boost switch (10) on.
If the Boost switch is accidentally left on, the freezer will not be
damaged, but energy will be wasted. The inside of the freezer
will be very cold.
Storing pre-packed food
Pre-packed frozen food should be stored in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions. Place packets of frozen food into the
freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are
instructions on the packet, carefully follow these regarding storage
times.
Storage times
The freezer is intended for long term storage of frozen food. The
storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage
times should not be exceeded. The following information is just a
guide and is not comprehensive.
