Storing frozen food
Your freezer is suitable for the long-term
storage of commercially frozen foods and
also can be used to freeze and store fresh
food.
For storing home-frozen fresh food refer to
the storage-life guide on the door-liner.
If there is a power failure, do not open the
door. Frozen food should not be affected if
the failure lasts for less than 16 hrs. If the
failure is longer, then the food should be
checked and either eaten immediately or
cooked and then
re-frozen
Freezing fresh food
Please observe the following instructions to
obtain the best results.
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 core as
quickly as possible.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your
appliance in 24 h.
Placing warm food into the freezer
compartment causes the refrigeration machine
to operate continously until the food is frozen
solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive
cooling of the refrigeration compartment.
When freezing fresh food, keep the thermostat
knob at medium position. Small quantities of
food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be frozen
without adjusting the temperature control
knob.
Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water
and place it in the freezer. Loosen frozen trays
with a spoon handle or a similar implement;
never use sharp-edged objects such as knives
or forks.
Frozen food symbols
and freezer calendar
Food symbols are illustrated on the freezer
door-liner.
The figures next to food symbols represent
the safe storage-life, in months.
Observe the best before dates indicated on
the package for ready frozen food.
Defrosting
A) Fridge compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically.
The defrost water runs to the drain tube via
a collection container at the back of the
appliance (Fig. 3).
During defrosting, water droplets may form
at the back of the fridge compartment where
a concealed evaporator is located. Some
droplets may remain on the liner and refreeze
when defrosting is completed. Do not use
pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives
or forks to remove the droplets which have
refrozen.
If, at any time, the defrost water does not
drain from the collection channel, check that
no food particles have blocked the drain tube.
The drain tube can be cleared with a pipe-
cleaner or similar implement.
B) Freezer compartment
Defrosting is very straightforward and without
mess, thanks to a special defrost collection
