refr igerator, the internal temperature will increase
resulting in the compressor having to work harder

Hints for freezing
● When first starting-up or after a period out of
use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the
higher settings before putting food in the
compartment.
● Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be
rapidly and completely frozen and to make it
possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity
required.
● Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or
polyethylene food wraps which are airtight.
● Do not allow fresh frozen food to touch the
food which is already frozen to avoid partially
thawing the frozen food.
● Iced products, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer compartment, will
probably cause frost burns to the skin.
It is recommended to label and date each
frozen package in order to keep track of the
storage time.
Hints for the storage of frozen food
● Ensure that frozen food has been stored
correctly by the food retailer.
● Once defrosted food will deteriorate rapidly and
should not be re-frozen. Do not exceed the storage
period indicated by the food manufacturer.
