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 foodstus into the freezer. Prior to storing the frozen food, pack it
in plastic bags, aluminum sheets or freezing containers and place into the freezer. See the data sheet at the
rear of this booklet for the maximum permissible amount in kilograms of fresh food that can be frozen in any
24 hour period with a room temperature of 25°C. Never freeze more than the maximum permissible.
NOTE!
Never put bottled food or drinks in the freezer compartment.
For best performance, leave enough space in the Freezer compartment for air to circulate around the
packages. You can use it without drawer under some conditions.
Defrosting
Remove the mains plug from the wall socket, open the door and remove all the food to a cool place.
Defrost using a plastic scraper, or let the temperature rise naturally until the frost melts. Then wipe away the
remaining ice and water, after this plug the freezer back into the mains supply.
NOTE!
To avoid damaging the freezing compartment wall, do not use any sharp objects to remove the frost or
separate the frozen food.
Cleaning your freezer
Before you start to clean your freezer remove the mains plug from the power supply.
