Freezing Fresh Food

It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is

frozen quickly and that the food already in the freezer

is heated as little as possible.

If more than 3-4kg of food is to be frozen:

1. Press the SUPER button 6-24 hours before placing

fresh food in the freezer. The freezer will now run

continuously creating a sufficient reserve of the

required temperature.

2. Place the food in the freezer and leave the SUPER

button on for a further 24 hours.

3. Then turn the SUPER button off. The freezer will

return to nomal storage conditions.

If you forget to turn the SUPER button off, the

freezer will not be damaged, but energy will

be wasted.

The freezing capacity of the freezer is stated in the

rating plate (kg/24 hours). Do not exceed the amount

stated - if you do, the freezing time will be extended.

The rating plate is located inside the lid.

If you wish to freeze food several days in a row, please

observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4 of

that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best

preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as

quickly as possible.

Frozen Food Storage

When first starting the freezer or if the freezer has

been out of use for some time, we advise you to run

your appliance for at least 2 hours before storing

frozen food.

Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the

manufacturer.

Do not open the lid frequently or leave it open longer

than is necessary.

Important

Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer.

Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from

the freezer can cause a low temperature skin burn.

Do not remove items from the freezer if your

hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin

abrasions or frost/freezer burns.

In the event of a power cut, do not open the lid.

The food in the freezer will not be affected if the

power cut is short and the freezer is full. Should

the food begin to thaw it must be consumed

quickly and must not be re-frozen.

(See Hints and Tips)

Thawing

Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in

the fridge or at room temperature, depending on

the time available. Small food items may even be

cooked from frozen, in this case cooking will take

longer.

Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw

accidentally should either be eaten as soon as

possible, or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food

is uncooked and has not been completely

defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen.

Defrosted cooked food must never be

refrozen.
