STORING FROZEN FOOD
Prepacked commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the
frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a
frozen food storage
compartment.
To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the
food retailer is maintained the following should be remembered:
1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
2. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT
Operating temperatures are controlled by the thermostat knob (see diagram) located
on the inner side wall of the freezer compartment. Settings may be made from 1,
2 ... fast freeze, fast freeze being the coldest position.
When the appliance is switched on for the first time, the thermostat knob should be
adjusted so that after 24 hours, the average freezer temperature is no higher than
-18°C (0°F). We recommend you set the knob half way between the 1 and 4 setting.
Lower temperatures may be obtained by adjusting setting knob towards fast freeze
position.
We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer to
ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature.
Remember you must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer
temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.
Please remember each time the door is opened cold air escapes and the internal
temperature rises. Therefore never leave the door open and ensure it is closed
immediately after food is put in or removed.
