HELPFUL HINTS

SSTTOORRAAGGEE

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.

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.

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

DDEEFFRROOSSTTIINNGG

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.

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.

IMPORTANT

Never use a knife or any other sharp implement to

remove frost.

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.

EEXXTTEERRNNAALL CCLLEEAANNIINNGG

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT

use abrasive products.

WWHHEENN NNOOTT IINN UUSSEE

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.

Remove all goods from the freezer.

Clean the freezer as described above.

Leave the lid slightly open.

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.
