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 re-frozen. However, dishes which have been made using defrosted food may be frozen. Mark the freezer packaging with the date of freezing. We recommend keeping a record

of the contents of your freezer. If freezing is too slow, the quality of the food being frozen deteriorates. Consequently, do not freeze larger amounts than stated in the freezer’s data plate. If you wish to freeze food several days in a row, the maximum freezing capacity stated per day is reduced by about one-third. As far as possible, keep the lid closed during freezing. If you know nothing about home freezing, we recommend that you purchase a book containing advice and guidelines.

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.

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 10-15 mm thick, the freezer should be defrosted. We suggest that you defrost your freezer when there is little or no food inside.

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.

Do not try to speed up defrosting by using anything other than hot water, since this may damage the freezer. After defrosting, clean the inside of the freezer.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR FREEZER INSIDE

Remove the plug from the mains socket, and remove all loose accessories before cleaning the freezer.

The best time to clean your freezer is after defrosting and before the electricity supply is connected again.

Use a damp cloth to clean your freezer. Use hot water, and a mild, non-aromatic cleaning agent.

After cleaning the freezer, clean the basket/baskets before replacing them.

IMPORTANT

Never use strong cleaning agents, scouring powder or strongly aromatic cleaning agents to clean your freezer inside, since this will damage the inside and leave a strong smell.

EXTERNAL CLEANING

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products.

WHEN NOT IN USE

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. Remove all goods from the freezer.

Clean the freezer as described above. Leave the lid slightly open.
