Frozen food storage
Your appliance has the following frozen food net stor-
age volume: 92 litres weight of stored food 29.4 kg.
Operate the fast freeze switch BEFORE placing fresh
food to be frozen in the freezer.
Place fresh food to be frozen in the top basket; food is
completely frozen 24 hours later.
When the food is completely frozen it can be trans-
ferred to one of the other 2 baskets. If a very small
quantity of fresh food is to be frozen, it is NOT neces-
sary to adjust the thermostat control in advance. Al-
ways ensure that air can circulate around the food to
be frozen; this will help it to freeze quicker.
Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen, touch
food which is already frozen.
During the freezing process, please make sure that the
door remains closed.
Important
If the temperature of frozen food rises because of:
a)
Non compliance with manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions,
b)
Electric power failure,
c)
Defrosting,
then recommended storage life may be reduced and
storage times may not apply.
Frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally
should either be used immediately or thrown away.
Alternatively if the food is uncooked and has not been
completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refro-
zen.
