Frozen food storage

Your appliance has the following frozen food net storage volume: 62 litres.

Operate the fast freeze switch BEFORE placing fresh food to be frozen in the freezer.

Place fresh food to be frozen in the top basket; food is completely frozen 24 hours later.

When the food is completely frozen it can be transferred to one of the other 2 baskets. If a very small quantity of fresh food is to be frozen, it is NOT necessary to adjust the thermostat control in advance. Always ensure that air can circulate around the food to be frozen; this will help it to freeze quicker.

Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen, touch food which is already frozen.

During the freezing process, please make sure that the door remains closed.

Important

If the temperature of frozen food rises because of:

a)Non compliance with manufacturer’s recommendations,

b)Electric power failure,

c)Defrosting,

then recommended storage life may be reduced and storage times may not apply.

Frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be used immediately or thrown away.

Alternatively if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen.
