Using your chest freezer
Getting the most from your appliance
.Use a polythene bag to store raw meat and place
on the lowest shelf. Avoid contact with cooked
food to prevent contamination. For safety
reason, store raw meat for two to three days only.
.Cooked dishes must be stored in airtight covered
containers.
.Food should cool to room temperature.
.Most vegetables should be blanched and chilled
before freezing.
.Do not leave frozen food at room temperature to
thaw. You could defrost the food by putting it in
the fridge to thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid
defrosting food from dropping food juices on
to other food.
Energy saving tips
Place your fridge away from direct sunlight,
your oven or any other heat sources. Allow
20 cm clear space on both sides and above,
and at least 5 cm behind.
Cover all food stored, and arrange it so that cold
air can circulate freely.
Higher cold setting will use more energy. Do not
set to maximum cold if it is not necessary.
Cool the hot/warm food to room temperature
before put them into your fridge.
Frequently opening and closing the door will
cause the internal temperature to rise and it
will consume more energy.

seals and hinges are airtight. Check the seals by
putting a sheet of paper between the door and
the main body of the fridge. If the paper moves,
your seals need replacing.

frost-free or cyclic defrost model. Accumulated
