THE ROLE OF THE PRESSURE

EQUALISATION VALVE

The pressure equalisation valve installed in your freezer automatically eliminates the pressure difference which otherwise would make it very difficult or even impossible to open the lid.

It may be possible to hear the operation of the valve as the air flows in through the airing outlet in the rear wall of the cabinet.

For a safe operation, keep the two openings of the valve clear, do not cover them!

Freezing Fresh Food

It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is frozen quickly and that the food already in the freezer is heated as little as possible.

If more than 3-4kg of food is to be frozen:

1.Press the SUPER button 6-24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer. The freezer will now run continuously creating a sufficient reserve of the required temperature.

2.Place the food in the freezer and leave the SUPER button on for a further 24 hours.

3.Then turn the SUPER button off. The freezer will return to nomal storage conditions.

If you forget to turn the SUPER button off, the freezer will not be damaged, but energy will be wasted.

Capacity

The freezing capacity of the freezer is stated in the rating plate (kg/24 hours). Do not exceed the amount stated - if you do, the freezing time will be extended. The rating plate is located inside the lid.

FREEZING

CAPACITY

If you wish to freeze food several days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4 of

that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.

Frozen Food Storage

When first starting the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least 2 hours before storing frozen food.

Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer.

Do not open the lid frequently or leave it open longer than is necessary.

Important

Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer.

Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer can cause a low temperature skin burn.

Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.

In the event of a power cut, do not open the lid. The food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and the freezer is full. Should the food begin to thaw it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen.

(See Hints and Tips)

Thawing

Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature, depending on the time available. Small food items may even be cooked from frozen, in this case cooking will take longer.

Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten as soon as possible, or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen.

Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.

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.
