4. Cook food as soon as possible after defrosting.
5. Many microwaves and ovens have a defrost setting. To avoid bacterial build up, only use these if you
intend to cook the food immediately afterwards.
GB
• Never refreeze anything that has been defrosted out unless you cook it again, to kill off harmful
bacteria. Never re-freeze defrosted shellfish.
• Re-seal packs properly after removing items. This prevents drying or freezer-burn and a build
up of frost on any remaining food.
Cleaning
Defrosting
Frost might build up in the freezer compartment after the freezer has been used for a period of time.
Scrape away the frost using a plastic scraper.
Do not use a metal or sharp instrument to scrap away the frost, nor should you use any electrical
appliances to aid defrosting.
We recommend that defrosting should be carried out when the frost layer builds up to 3cm (~1.18").
Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low, follow these procedures:
1. Take out the frozed food, turn the freezer off at the mains supply and leave the door open. Ideally, the
frozen food should be put into another freezer or refrigerator. If this is not possible, wrap the food in
several sheets of newspaper or large towels and then a thick rug or blanket to keep it cool.
2. Place a shallow bowl or pan below the freezer. Scrap away the frost using
the plastic scraper. Defrosting the remaining frost can be speeded up by
placing a bowl of hot water inside the freezer cabinet and closing the door.
As the solid frost loosens, scrap it away with the plastic scraper and remove.
3. When defrosting is complete, clean your freezer's interior and exterior.
Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Freezer
•
Wipe the inside of the freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with warm
water using a 'wrung-out' sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the baskets.
•
Use a damp cloth to clean the freezer exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make
sure that the door is closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside the freezer.
•
The grille of the condenser at the back of the freezer and the adjacent components can be vacuumed
using a soft brush attachment.
Cleaning Tips
•
Condensation may appear on the outside of the freezer. This maybe due to a change in room
temperature. Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please contact a qualified
technician for assistance.
