Shopping for Chilled Foods • Take a quick look at the chilled food package and make sure it is in perfect condition. • Try to keep chilled food together whilst shopping and on the journey home as this will help to keep the food cold.
Preparations for Freezing • Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. Freeze food in small quantities as it freezes faster, takes less time to defrost and enables you to control the quantity you need better. • Leave cooked food to cool completely. Chill food before freezing if possible. • Consider how you will want to cook the food before freezing it.
Cleaning Defrosting Frost might build up in the freezer compartment after it has been used for a period of time. Scrape away the frost using a plastic scraper (not included). Do not use a metal or sharp instrument to scrape away the frost, nor should you use any electrical appliances to aid defrosting.
Maintenance Changing the Internal Light 1. Before carrying out the bulb replacement always adjust the thermostat control dial to Position 0, then disconnect the mains supply. 2. Use a flat bladed screwdriver to gently pry the translucent light cover away. 3.
