Maintenance And Cleaning; Changing The Lamp - Scandomestic SFS 226 W User Manual

1 Refer to the description about fast freezing function in the "Function" sec-
tion.
2 Compared with the normal freezing, fast freezing enables food to pass
through the maximum ice crystal formation zone at the fastest speed. Fast
freezing can freeze the food water content into fine ice crystals, without da-
maging the cell membrane, so cell juice will not be lost when thawing, and
the original freshness and nutrition of food can be maintained.
3 The fast-freezing function is designed to preserve nutrition of the frozen
food, with the food thoroughly frozen in the shortest time. Fast freezing con-
sumes more energy than the normal freezing does.
• Allow the hot foods to cool down to the room temperature before putting
them in the freezer compartment.
• Do not put a glass container with liquid or the canned liquid that is sealed in
the freezer compartment, so as to avoid burst due to volume expansion af-
ter the liquid gets frozen up.
• Divide the food into appropriately small portions
• You'd better pack the food up before freezing it, and the packing bag used
should be dry, in case the packing bags are frozen together. Foods should be
packed or covered by such suitable materials as are firm, tasteless, imper-
vious to air and water, non-toxic and pollution-free, to avoid cross-contami-
nation and transfer of odor.
Tips for shopping the frozen foods
1. When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the
packaging. You will be able to store each item of frozen food for the period
shown against the star rating. This is usually the period stated as "Best to use
them before×", found on the front of the packaging.
2. Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you
buy the frozen foods.
3. Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
4. Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the super-
market.
5. Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping and on the journey home,
as this will help to keep the food cooler.
6. Don't buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Special insula-
ted bags can be bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops.
These keep the frozen foods cold longer.
7. For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables and
pasta can be added directly to boiling water or steam cooked. Frozen sauces
and soups can be put into a saucepan and heated gently until thawed.
8. Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. When foods are frozen in
small quantities, it will take less than for them to freeze up and thaw.
9. Estimate the amount of foods to be frozen up. When freezing large amounts
of fresh food, adjust the temperature control knob to the low mode, with
the freezer temperature lowered. So, foods can be frozen up in fast manner,
with the food freshness well kept.
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.
Tips for special needs
Moving the freezer/freezer
Location
Do not place your freezer/freezer near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radia-
tor. Avoid it from direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges.
Leveling
Make sure to level your freezer/freezer using the front leveling feet. If not level,
the freezer/freezer door gasket sealing performance will be affected, or even it
may lead to the operating failure of your freezer/freezer.
After locating the freezer/freezer in position, wait for 4 hours before using it, so as
to allow the refrigerant to settle.
Installation
Do not cover or block the vents or grilles of your appliance.
When you are out for a long time
• If the appliance will not be used for several months, turn it off first, and then
unplug the plug from the wall outlet.
• Take out all foods.
• Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth,
leave the door ajar: block it open or have the door removed if necessary.
• Keep the cleaned appliance in a dry, ventilated place and away from the heat
source, place the appliance smoothly, and do not place heavy objects on top
of it.
• The unit should not be accessible to child's play.

Maintenance and cleaning

Before cleaning, unplug the power plug first; Do not plug in or plug out the plug
with wet hand, because there is a risk of electric shock and injury. Do not spill wa-
ter directly on the freezer, to avoid rust, electricity leakage and accidents. Do not
stretch your hands into the bottom of the freezer, since you might be scratched
by sharp metal corners.
Internal cleaning and external cleaning
The food residuals in the freezer are liable to produce bad odor, so the freezer
must be cleaned regularly. The fresh food compartment is usually cleaned once a
month.
Remove all shelves, crisper box, bottle racks, cover board, and drawers etc., and
clean them with a soft towel or sponge dipped in warm water or neutral deter-
gent.
Clear off the dusts accumulated on the rear panel and side plates of the freezer
often.
After using detergent, be sure to rinse it with clean water, and then wipe it dry.
Do not use bristle brush, steel wire brush, detergent, soap powder, alkaline deter-
gent, benzene, gasoline, acid, hot water and other corrosive or soluble items to
cleanse the cabinet surface, door gasket, plastic decorative parts, etc., so as to
avoid damage.
Carefully wipe dry the door gasket, clean the groove using a wooden chopstick
wrapped with cotton string. After the cleaning, fix the four corners of the door
gasket first, and then embed it segment by segment into the door groove.
Interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system
• Take care of the frozen foods in the event of an extended non-running of the
refrigerating appliance (such as interruption of power supply or failure of the
refrigerating system).
• Try to open the freezer door as less as possible, in this way can food safely
and freshly kept for hours even in hot summer.
• If you get the power outage notice in advance：
1) Adjust the thermostat knob to the high mode an hour in advance, so that
foods get fully frozen (Do not store new food during this time!). Restore the
temperature mode to the original setting when power supply becomes nor-
mal in a timely manner.
2) You can also make ice with a watertight container, and put it in the upper
part of the freezer, so as to extend the time for fresh food to be stored.
Note: Once the freezer is used, you'd better use it continuously; and under nor-
mal circumstance, do not stop its use, so as not to affect the service life.
Defrosting
This appliance is designed with automatic defrosting function, and meantime it
can be manually defrosted.

sumption and long service life. In case of any abnormality, please contact the af-
ter-sales personnel for visiting service.
