FREEZING FRESH FOOD
Place fresh food to be frozen near the side walls to ensure fast freezing and away from already
frozen food, if possible.
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 outlet and pull out the power plug.
Extract the water conduit and put in a water container.
6 hours before the defrosting, please set the thermostat knob at “MAX” position to make sure the
food is at the lowest temperature when you take it out. All food should be wrapped in several
layers of newspaper 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 is finished, allow the defrost water that collects at the bottom of the freezer to flow out
as shown in the diagram below, then dry the interior thoroughly. Switch on the Fast Freeze and
leave it on for about three hours.
1. A drain outlet is designed at the bottom of the freezer liner, and when defrosting, remove its
rubber cover. (You can find the rubber cover in the freezer accessory bag. Be sure to install it.)
The defrost water flows out and is discharged from the drain pipe. (NOTE: PLEASE KEEP
THE RUBBER COVER IN A SAFE PLACE DURING THE DEFROSTING AND PUT IT BACK
WHEN DEFROSTING IS DONE.)
2. Pull out the water conduit about an inch until the water hole can be seen.
3. Twist the water conduit until the arrow points downward.
4. After defrosting, make sure no more water is coming out. Then push in the water conduit and
turn until the arrow points 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 electrical appliances for defrosting.
