STORING FROZEN FOOD

Prepackaged commercially frozen food should be stored in ac-
cordance 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:
• Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after pur-
chase.
• Do not exceed "Use By"; "Best Before" dates on the packag-
ing.
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
Place fresh foods to be frozen near the sidewalls to ensure fast
freezing and away from already frozen food, if possible.
Freezing capacity of your appliance in a 24 hours period is 12
kg.
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 press"Super FRZ"
make sure the food is at the lowest temperature when you get
it out. All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspa-
per 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 There is a water conduit at the bottom of the freezer, when
defrosting, extract the rubber cover, defrosted water will
drip into the hole and flow out. (NOTES: PLEASE KEEP THE
RUBBER COVER WELL DURING THE DEFROSTING AND PUT IT
BACK AFTER DEFROSTING IS DONE)
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.
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 electri-
cal appliances for defrosting.
• For using the ice-making box, place it in upper position of
the freezer compartment, so that it ices up as soon as
possible.
• 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.

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.
Important Notes:
Never use water to wash the compressor position, wipe it
with a dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent rust.
