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 door. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 21 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 5 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. When freezing fresh food turn the control toward MAX. Small quantities of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be frozen without having to rotate the temperature control. Install in room -15C to +32C . 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. Making Ice Cubes Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the Ice Bank. Loosen frozen trays with the handle of a spoon, never use sharp edged objects such as knives, forks. Store ice-cubes in the Ice Bank. Note: If freshly made ice cubes are not consumed for several weeks and stored in Ice Bank, they will slowly reduce in size and eventually disappear completely. Defrosting A) Fridge Compartment The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The defrosting water runs to the drain tube via a collection container at the back of the appliance (1). (see diagram) During defrosting water droplets may form at the back of the fridge compartment where concealed evaporator is located. Some droplets may remain on the liner and refreeze when defrosting is completed. Do not allow items in the fridge to touch the back wall as the water droplets will make them wet. Do not use pointed or sharp edged objects such as knives, forks to remove the droplets which have frozen. 18 EN
