after fast freezing
Refrigerating mode:
When change the refrigerating status to others, you should
take out food to avoid them being frosted damaged. If shift
freezing or soft freezing satus to refrigerating mode, you
should take the following steps:
Set the knob of thermostat to refrigeration mode, then re-
move all of frozen food from freeze compartment, then keep it
being empty for one hour, and finally put the required food
into it.
Due to individual factors of the refrigerator, the actual tem-
perature in the box may have a certain error from the set
temperature, which is a normal phenomenon and does not
affect the normal use of the product.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

Prepackaged commercially frozen food should be stored in
accordance with the frozen food manufacturer's instructions
for a freezer 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 pur-
chase.
2 Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the pack-
aging.

FREEZING FRESH FOOD

Place fresh food to be frozen near the side walls to ensure fast
freezing and away from already frozen food, if possible.
Never exceed this maximum capacity. 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 centre as quickly as possible.
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh
food.
DEFROSTING
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm
(1/4") has formed.
Alternatively you may switch off the freezer at the socket out-
let and pull out the mains plug.
Extract the water conduit and put in a water container.
6 hours before the defrosting, please set the thermostat knob
at "7" position to make sure the food is at the lowest temper-
ature when you get it out. All food should be wrapped in sev-
eral layers of newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge
or larder).
Remove the freezer basket. Leave the lid open. Containers of
warm water may be placed carefully in the freezer to speed up
the defrosting.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical
appliances for defrosting. When defrosting has finished flow
out defrost water which collects at the bottom of the freezer
as the below diagram and dry the interior thoroughly. Switch
on the Fast Freeze and leave it on for about three hours.
1 A drain outlet is designed at the bottom of the freezer
liner, and when defrosting, remove its rubber cover, then
the defrosting water flows out and is discharged from the
drain pipe.
2 Extract the water conduit by 20-25mm until the water hole
can be seen.
3 Twist the water conduit until the arrow points downward.
4 After defrosting is done, make sure there is no more water
coming out before out the water conduit in place and
make the arrow point upward.
How to use the ice-making box
Place the ice-making box in the upper position of the freezer
compartment, so that it ices up as soon as possible.
Important Notes:
• Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives
or forks to remove the frost.
• Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such elec-
trical appliances for defrosting.
• It is normal that water beads or frosts appear on the
freezer collar and door gaskets in the wet weather, which
will not affect the normal use. In such case, please clean it
with a dry cloth in time!

CLEANING AND CARE

We recommend that you switch off the freezer at the socket
outlet and pull out the mains plug before cleaning.
Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household
cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.
Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of the freezer and
wipe it dry.
Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of
bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior
and wipe it dry.
Excess deposit of ice should be removed on a regular basis
using a plastic ice scraper available from your local store. Large
accumulation of ice will impair the performance of the freezer.
If the freezer is not going to be used for a long period of time
switch it off, remove all food, clean it and leave the lid ajar.
Check lid seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from
food particles.
