When loading your freezer with fresh food, place the food in contact with the walls of the
freezer. If necessary, the food may be placed between the already frozen food and the
cabinet walls. The freezer will freeze 9.0kg (20Ib) of fresh food in 24 hours. When first
loading the freezer (or at any time when loading large quantities of unfrozen foods) run
the freezer with the Super Freeze switch 'ON' for at least 8 hours before placing the food
in the freezer and return to the off position when the food is frozen. When adding already
frozen food it will not be necessary to turn the Super Freeze switch on.
Remember...
. To prepare the food correctly before fast freezing.
. Different foods need different preparation (see 'Guide to Home Freezing' -
see page 11)
. Squeeze all air out of freezer bags before closing/sealing.
. Do not Super Freeze too much food at anyone time. If you need to Super Freeze
a large quantity of food, store the food in your refrigerator and carry out the freezing
in batches.
. Do not freeze hot food. By allowing food to cool before freezing the duration of
super freezing will be reduced and the freezer will use less energy to obtain the
correct storage temperature.
Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food
manufacturer's instructions for a three star frozen food storage compartment or home
freezer.
Place the packets of frozen food into the freezer as soon after purchase as possible.
Carefully follow any instructions on the packet referring to storage times. The storage life
of frozen foods vary and the recommended storage times should not be exceeded. The
instructions regarding the care of frozen foods should be followed when defrosting the
freezer. The freezer is intended for long term storage of frozen food, ie. three star - up to
three months.
Keys have been supplied to enable the lid to be locked. Always place the keys out of
reach of children.
