LOW FROST SYSTEM.

LOW FROST SYSTEM.

The patented LOW FROST System reduces the ice-build-up in the chest freezer by up to 80 percent, which results in a longer period of time between defrosting. To get the full benefit of the system, please observe the following points:

The amount of ice-build-up in any freezer is very much dependent of the moisture of the surrounding air. The ice will build up quicker in a humid climate than in a dry climate.

Therefore you should avoid installing your freezer in very humid surroundings. The LOW FROST system minimizes the amount of ice caused by the natural temperature cycle of the freezer. However, ice-build-up from other sources is not reduced. The most important other sources are poorly wrapped food and warm air introduced when the lid is opened.

Therefore, it is important to ensure that the lid isn’t opened unnecessarily, and the lid is not obstructed by packs of food when closed.

If food stored in the freezer is not wrapped properly, humidity from the food will settle as ice on the freezer walls. Food quality will also deteriorate, so ensure that food put in the freezer is wrapped well.

Maintenance and Cleaning. The LOW FROST system does not need any maintenance or cleaning during normal use. If needed the pipe can be wiped with a soft cloth. Do not use any sharp or piercing tools, as this may damage the system.

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 ready-to-cook dishes can also be cooked without defrosting. Always observe the instructions on product packaging. Bread tastes good when defrosted in a moderate oven. Microwave ovens can be used for the rapid defrosting of most frozen foods. Observe the instructions for use of the microwave oven concerned, especially regarding foil dishes.

LOCK

The lock works as shown in the drawings. Remember to keep the key out of the reach of children.
