FREEZING FRESH FOOD Place fresh food to be frozen near the side walls to ensure fast freezing and away from already frozen food, if possible. Freezing capacity of your appliance in a 24 hours period is 5 kg (11lb). Never exceed this maximum capacity. If you are going to freeze fresh food in excess of 2 kg. (4.5Ib) turn the Fast Freeze switch on and wait for at least three hours before placing the fresh food in the freezer. Remember to switch off the Fast Freeze after freezing. Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the centre as quickly as possible. Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food. 1. Basket 2. Control panel 7 DEFROSTING Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm (1/4”) has formed. To start the defrosting procedure turn the thermostat knob to zero position. Alternatively you may switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or larder). Remove the freezer basket. Leave the lid open. Containers of warm water may be placed carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting. Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the frost. Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for defrosting. When defrosting has finished sponge out defrost water which collects at the bottom of the freezer and dry the interior thoughly. Switch on the Fast Freeze and leave it on for about three hours. CLEANING AND CARE ** We recommend that you switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug before cleaning. ** Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning. ** Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet of the freezer and wipe it dry. ** Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry. ** Excess deposit of ice should be removed on a regular basis using a plastic ice scraper available from your local store. Large accumulation of ice will impair the performance of the freezer. ** If the freezer is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off, remove all food, clean it and leave the lid ajar. ** Any dust that gathers on the condenser, which is located at the back of the freezer, should be removed once a year with a vacuum cleaner. ** Check lid seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particies. 8 DO’S AND DON’TS Do – Defrost food from the freezer thoroughly in a fridge or in a microwave oven following defrosting and cooking instructions.
