LOW FROST SYSTEM.
The patented LOW FROST System reduces the ice-build-up in the chest
freezer by up to 80 percent, which results in a longer period of time between
defrosting. To get the full benefit of the system, please observe the following
points:
The amount of ice-build-up in any freezer is very much dependent of the
moisture of the surrounding air. The ice will build up quicker in a humid climate
than in a dry climate.
Therefore you should avoid installing your freezer in very humid surroundings.
The LOW FROST system minimizes the amount of ice caused by the natural
temperature cycle of the freezer. However, ice-build-up from other sources is
not reduced. The most important other sources are poorly wrapped food and
warm air introduced when the lid is opened.
Therefore, it is important to ensure that the lid isn’t opened unnecessarily,
and the lid is not obstructed by packs of food when closed.
If food stored in the freezer is not wrapped properly, humidity from the food
will settle as ice on the freezer walls. Food quality will also deteriorate, so
ensure that food put in the freezer is wrapped well.
Maintenance and Cleaning. The LOW FROST system does not need any
maintenance or cleaning during normal use. If needed the pipe can be wiped
with a soft cloth. Do not use any sharp or piercing tools, as this may damage the
system.
DEFROSTING
In general food should not be defrosted at room temperature, since this
increases the risk of bacteria growth. It is best to defrost large portions of
meat or poultry in the refrigerator, and this also applies to food which is to
be consumed as it is (e.g. fruit, butter and sliced meat). Small portions of food
can be cooked straight from the freezer. A good number of ready-to-cook
dishes can also be cooked without defrosting. Always observe the instructions
on product packaging. Bread tastes good when defrosted in a moderate oven.
Microwave ovens can be used for the rapid defrosting of most frozen foods.
Observe the instructions for use of the microwave oven concerned, especially
regarding foil dishes.
LOCK
The lock works as shown in the
drawings. Remember to keep the key
out of the reach of children.
