the air openings of the appliance are
not obstructed.
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the
cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into
airtight packages before placing them
in the freezer.
Food which is to be frozen (when cool)
should be placed in the fridge before
being transferred to the freezer.
Try to avoid keeping the door open for
long periods or opening the door too
frequently as warm air will enter the
cabinet and cause the compressor to
switch on unnecessarily often.
Ensure there are no obstructions
preventing the door from closing
properly.
In the Event of a Power Failure
If there is a power failure during the
storage of frozen foods, keep the door
closed. If the temperature within your
freezer should rise, do not refreeze the
food without checking its condition. The
following guidelines should assist you:
Ice Cream: Once thawed should be
discarded.
Fruits & Vegetables: If soft should be
cooked and used up.
Breads & Cakes: Can be refrozen
without danger.
Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and
used up quickly.
Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should
be refrigerated and used up.
Large Pieces of Meat: Can be refrozen
providing there are still ice crystals
remaining within them.
Small Joints: Should be cooked and can
then be refrozen as cooked dishes.
Chicken: Should also be cooked and
refrozen as a fresh dish.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or
cleaning is carried out you must
DISCONNECT the appliance from the
electricity supply.
Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with
warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5
ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NEVER
abrasive powders, highly perfumed
cleaning products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as these will
damage the surface and leave a
strong odour.
External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy
water.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser
(black grille) and the compressor at the
back of the appliance with a brush or
vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of
dust will affect the performance of the
appliance and cause excessive electricity
consumption.
When the Appliance is not in Use
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, disconnect from the electricity
supply, empty all foods and clean the
appliance, leaving the door open to
prevent unpleasant smells.
