Freezing Fresh Food
Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most hygienic conditions as freezing alone does not sterilize the food. It is advisable to freeze the food by packing it into separate meal portions and not in bulk form. Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into the freezer. Prior to storing the frozen food, pack it in plastic bags, aluminum sheets or freezing containers and place into the freezer.
Defrosting
Remove the electrical plug from the wall socket, open the door and remove all contents. Defrost using a plastic scraper, or let the temperature rise naturally until the frost melts. Then wipe away the remaining ice and water. Once finished, plug the freezer back in and check the thermostat knob is on the correct setting. It is recommended to defrost when ¼” of frost develops on the walls.
Cleaning your freezer
Always unplug unit before cleaning. Mix a solution of 2 tbsp baking soda to 1 qt water. Dampen cloth in this solution to clean and then dry with soft cloth.
