Beko AB920, AB910 manual Storing Frozen Food

STORING FROZEN FOOD

Prepacked commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the

frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a frozen food storage compartment.

To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained, the following should be remembered:

1.Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.

2.Ensure that contents are labelled and dated.

3.Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.

If there is a power failure do not open the freezer door. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 8 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re- frozen.

FREEZING FRESH FOOD

Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.

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 core as quickly as possible.

Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h which is 13 kg.

Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration compressor to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.

You may place fresh food to be frozen in any part of the freezer.

Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.

It is possible to keep the food for a long time only at -18°C or lower temperatures.

DEFROSTING

The freezer compartment and the fridge compartment defrosts automatically.

CLEANING AND CARE

**We recommend that you switch off the appliance 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 appliance 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.

**Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing.

**If the appliance is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.

**Vacuum-clean the dusts on the appliance once a year.

**Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.

**Removal of door tray

•To remove door racks, remove all the contents and then simply push the door rack upwards from the base.

**To remove a freezer drawer, pull it as far as possible, and then tilt it upwards, and then pull it out completely.

**Avoid spillage of food particularly small items like rice, peas, beans through the fan guard as they may cause the cooling system to block and therefore operate less efficiently.

Protection of plastic surfaces

Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in your refrigerator in unsealed containers as they damage the plastic surfaces of your refrigerator. In case of spilling or smearing oil on the plastic surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant part of the surface at once with warm water.
