Food Storage Notes
- The low temperature of freezer may keep food fresh for a long time and it is mainly used to store frozen foods and making ice.
- The freezer is suitable for storage of meat, fish, shrimp, pastries class and other foods not to be consumed in short term. Do not store fluids in bottled or closed containers Items such as bottled beer, beverages, etc.
- Please be noted food shall be consumed within the shelf time.
- The freezing speed of the product is related to the amount of food stored and the ambient temperature.
If you need to place a large amount of room temperature food in the freezer at
the same time, the thermostat will need be adjusted to the maximum gear 24
hours in advance. This will ensure the food can be frozen and will not
deteriorate.
Noise from your Upright Freezer
- You may notice that your freezer makes some unusual noises from time to time. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!
- These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system.
This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your unit and is common with all modern refrigeration appliances.
Usage Tips
- Do not store food uncovered in the appliance. Always use good quality, fridge-proof packaging to maintain food quality. Remove air from packages of solid food and seal bags tightly before freezing.
- Keep portions small to ensure they are frozen (and subsequently defrosted) rapidly.
- Make sure that fresh, unfrozen food packages do not touch food that is already frozen, thus avoiding a temperature rise in the frozen food.
- When freezing food, do not push food together too much, leave some space for air to circulate around each item. Do not place packages directly against the back wall.
- When buying frozen food , only buy quantities that you can store straight away; use an insulated container for your shopping and when you get home, place the food in the chilling compartment immediately.
- When storing pre-packed, commercially frozen food, follow the food manufacturer’s instructions for storing the food in a home fridge or freezer. Do not exceed any storage times listed on the packaging.
- Once you have opened a packet of frozen food, re-wrap it airtight to prevent surface evaporation which causes drying or freezer burn.
- Do not place carbonated liquids such as bottles of fizzy drink in the chilling compartment as the container could explode under pressure and damage the chiller.
- Do not refreeze food once it has been defrosted.
- Frozen food which has thawed accidentally should either be used immediately or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted, it may be cooked and then refrozen.
- CAUTION! Do not remove items if your hands are damp or wet as this could cause skin abrasions.
Energy Saving Tips
- The appliance should be placed in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts. Please avoid placement in direct sunlight.
- Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the appliance.
- Do not overload the appliance with unfrozen food as this may cause it to freeze slowly and risk food spoilage.
- Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost building up inside in the unit.
- Please do not wrap items in aluminium foil, wax paper or paper towel. These materials interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
- Organise and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, ensuring the unit is opened as few times as possible.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Defrosting
The Upright Freezer can only be manually defrosted.
- For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive or >5mm thick. To minimize disruption, choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low.
- Unplug the appliance and open the door, remove foods and shelving basket before defrosting
- Open the outflow hole and drainage hole (place water container at the drainage hole}; the interior frost will naturally melt. Wipe the defrost water with a dry, soft cloth. When the frost softens, an ice scraper might be used to the accelerate defrosting process.
- Please remove the food and put in a cool place when defrosting before removing accessories.
WARNING Other mechanical devices or other means shall not be used to
accelerate except those recommended by the manufacturer. Do not damage the
refrigerant circuit.
IMPORTANT: Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic
parts. In addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost
as it may damage the cooling coils and will void the warranty. We recommend
using a plastic scraper.
Cleaning
WARNING
Before cleaning the appliance, make sure it is switched off and
disconnected from the power supply. Failure to do so can result in electric
shock or injury.
- Dusts behind the freezer and on the ground shall be timely cleaned to improve the cooling effect and energy saving.
- Wash the inside surfaces and the interior accessories with a damp, warm cloth moistened in a water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 litre of water. Rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
- Clean the outside of the unit with a damp, well wrung out cloth, keeping the area of the controls dry. Keep the lid gasket (seal) clean.
- Never use boiling water to accelerate defrosting as it may damage the plastic components.
- Do not use hard brushes, clean steel balls, wire brushes, abrasives (such as toothpastes), organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, banana oil, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items, which may damage the freezer surface and interior. Boiling water and organic solvents such as benzene may deform or damage plastic parts.
- After cleaning/defrosting, push the drain plug in. · After everything is dry, place appliance back into service.
- Allow approximately 12 hours for the cabinet to cool down again (depending on the length of time the appliance was disconnected from the power).
WARNING
Never clean the unit with an abrasive, acid, oil or solvent based cleaning
agent. Never use flammable fluids or sprays for cleaning as the fumes from
these substances can create a fire hazard or Explosion.
