STORAGE OF FOOD

• The freezer is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen food for a long time.
• The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is for this appliance: 13 kg.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. Do not add any other food to freeze during this period.
• The temperature of the freezer is kept below -18°C. This allows food to be stored for a long time. The storage period on the packaging must be observed.
• The ideal temperature setting for the freezer is -18°C. It is possible to set it colder, but in principle this is not necessary. A lower temperature does not mean that food will last longer, but every degree lower does mean more energy consumption.
• Allow hot food to cool to room temperature before putting it in the freezer.
• Only freeze fresh and thoroughly cleaned foods.
• Prepare the food in small portions so that it is soon completely frozen and can then be thawed in the desired amount.
• Do not allow fresh, non-frozen food to come into contact with food that has already been frozen, and prevent the temperature of the food that has already been frozen from rising.
• Lean foods are better and more durable than fatty foods; salt shortens the shelf life of food.
• Ice lollies, if eaten directly from the freezer, can cause frostbite.
• It is advisable to indicate the freezing date on each individual package in order to keep track of the shelf life.
• It is advisable to keep the time between buying the food and putting it in the freezer as short as possible.
• Pack the food airtight into food freshness bags before distributing it evenly over the freezer drawers.
• Packaging bags you use should be dry, in case several packaging bags are frozen together.
• Ensure there is sufficient space between foods. Putting them too close together blocks the cold airflow, affecting the cooling effect.
• To prevent cross-contamination and odour transfer, food should be packed in suitable materials that are sturdy,flavourless, impermeable to air and water, non-toxic and pollution-free.

Tips for buying frozen goods

• When you buy frozen products, read the storage guidelines on the packaging. You can store any frozen product for the period indicated by the star rating. This usually corresponds to the period stated as “best before” on the front of the package.

• Ensure that frozen food packaging is in perfect condition.

• Always buy frozen products at the end of your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.

• Try to keep frozen food together while shopping and on the way home as this helps to keep food cooler.

• Only buy frozen food if you can freeze it immediately. In most shops, you can buy special insulating bags.
  These keep frozen food cold for longer.

• Use good quality food and handle it as little as possible. When food is frozen in small quantities, it takes less time to freeze or thaw it.

• Estimate the amount of food to be frozen. When freezing large quantities of fresh food, set the temperature control knob to low mode, this sets the freezer temperature lower. This allows you to freeze the food quickly, keeping it fresh.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning the appliance, carefully review the safety information (Section 1).

CAUTION!

• Always remove the plug from the earthed socket before cleaning the appliance.
• Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children without supervision.
• Never touch the plug with wet or moist hands because of the risk of electric shocks and injury.
• Do not remove objects from the chest freezer if your hands are wet/damp as this may cause grazes or frostbite.
• Do not put your hands unprotected in the bottom of the appliance as the sharp metal corners can cause scratches.
• Do not use mechanical devices, electrical appliances (such as a hairdryer or heater) or other means to defrost your appliance.
• Do not use the appliance if any of its components are damaged or faulty. Replace a damaged or faulty appliance immediately. Remove the plug from the earthed socket and contact customer service.

ATTENTION!

• Clean surfaces that may come into contact with food and accessible drainage systems regularly.
• Never open the appliance. The appliance may only be opened for maintenance by an authorised service technician.
• Do not spill water directly onto the appliance to prevent rust, leakage and accidents.
• Do not use water jets and steam to clean the appliance.
• To prevent damage, do not use a hard brush, steel brush, detergent, soap powder, alkaline detergent, benzene, petrol, acids, chlorine, abrasive powders, hot water or other corrosive or soluble substances to clean the cabinet surface, door gasket or plastic decorative parts etc.
• The electrical parts of the appliance may only be cleaned with a dry cloth.

NOTE
Once in use, it is best to use the appliance continuously. Under normal circumstances it is best not to interrupt its use in order not to affect the lifetime of the appliance.

DEFROSTING & CLEANING
When the appliance has been in use for a while, a thin layer of ice is formed on the surface of the inner wall of the freezer. If this layer is more than 3 mm thick, it may affect the cooling effect. Energy consumption increases by about 10 per cent for every 2 millilitres of ice. The ice layer should be removed about every 3 months.

Go through the following steps to remove the ice layer:

• Remove the frozen food from the appliance. Temporarily place the food in a cool box, cooler bag or extra freezer.
• Switch off the appliance, Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster, keep the freezer door open.
• When the solid ice crust softens, remove the ice crust. Do not use scrapers or spatulas, this may damage the appliance.
• Remove the drain plug on the inside of the chest freezer.
• To drain, place a container under the outer drain plug. Pull out the drain plug and turn it 180 degrees. This will cause the water to flow out of the receptacle. When you are done, push the drain plug back in. Also insert the drain plug back inside the freezer compartment.

ATTENTION!

• Keep an eye on the tray under the drain to avoid overflowing.
• After defrosting, clean the inside of the appliance and turn the appliance on.
• Let the appliance run on ‘Super’ setting for at least 4 hours before placing products back in the freezer. After 24 hours, return the temperature control to the setting between ‘Normal’ and ‘Max’.

INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR CLEANING

• Regularly remove the dust from the back panel and side plates of the appliance. Use a dry cloth for this (no water).
• If the appliance will not be used for several months, switch it off, unplug it from the socket, clean and dry it and leave the door open to prevent mould forming in the appliance. For more information on switching off and storage, see Section 7.
