HELPFUL HINTS
STORAGE
Frozen food can be stored anywhere inside the freezer, but should be kept at least 5 mm below the top edge. Never exceed the maximum storage time
for purchased frozen food. When you buy frozen food, make sure that it has been stored at the correct temperature. Do not buy products which have wet or damaged packaging. Place purchased products in your freezer as quickly as possible. We recommend using an insulated bag to bring such products home with you. Never place bottles, warm objects, or fizzy drinks in the freezer.
FREEZING
Only use fresh food of the best quality. Cool hot dishes to room temperature as quickly as possible before placing them in the freezer. Wrap food carefully in freezer foil, or use the special freezer boxes or bags which are on the market. Divide food into small portions before freezing - this ensures that freezing is more rapid, and means that you only need to defrost the amount needed for immediate consumption. Remember that defrosted food must not be

DEFROSTING
In general food should not be defrosted at room temperature, since this increases the risk of bacteria growth. It is best to defrost large portions of meat or poultry in the refrigerator, and this also applies to food which is to be consumed as it is (e.g. fruit, butter and sliced meat). Small portions of food can be cooked straight from the freezer. A good number of

MAINTENANCE
DEFROSTING
The formation of frost on the inside of freezers cannot be avoided. Frost is formed when moisture contained in the air comes into contact with the cold surfaces of the freezer.
Consequently, the lid should only be opened when necessary, and it should never be left open.
A thin layer of ice or frost does not affect the function of the freezer adversely, and can be removed carefully using the scraper provided.
IMPORTANT
Never use a knife or any other sharp implement to remove frost.
When the frost or ice layer is
Switch off the current. Remove the contents of the freezer, wrap them in newspapers, and leave them in a cold place.
The speed of defrosting can be increased by placing one or more bowls of hot (not boiling) water inside the freezer and closing the lid. Open the lid after a while, and remove the layer of ice carefully.
