Useful Advice
Your freezer is designed and constructed with good door sealing to make it operate as efficiently as possible. For this reason, after closing the door, it may be difficult to open again immediately. This is not a fault. If you wait about 2 minutes for the internal and external pressures to equalise the door can be opened more easily.

How Frost Free works
The frost free system completely eliminates the need for defrosting.
A fan circulates air around the freezer. This helps to remove moisture from the compartment, therefore preventing the build up of ice.
It is normal to hear the fan when the freezer is cooling.
Additional benefits of the frost free system include:
●More even temperatures throughout the freezer.
●Faster cooling times.
Making the best use of your Freezer
Note : Always use the handle provided to open the freezer door. To ensure that your freezer operates as efficiently as possible:
●Follow food packaging “best before/use by” instructions or your suppliers advice on a suitable maximum storage time.
●Keep foods tightly covered to retain moisture and prevent flavour/odour transference. Plastic bags, aluminium foil, plastic stretch wrap and containers with lids are ideal.
●Select chilled and frozen food last when shopping, transport in a ‘cool bag’ and place in freezer as soon as possible after arriving home.
●Avoid opening the door unnecessarily or for longer than needed.
●Allow hot or warm food to cool down in covered containers before placing in the freezer, as placing hot food inside reduces efficiency.
●Prepare fresh foods for freezing in small quantities to ensure that the food freezes quickly and so that its quality does not deteriorate.
●Ensure that packets/containers of food are dry before freezing otherwise they may freeze together.
