• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to
touch food which is already frozen, thus
avoiding a rise in temperature of the
latter.
• Lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life
of food.
• Frozen liquids, if consumed immediately
after removal from the freezer compart-
ment, can possibly cause the skin to be
freeze burnt.
• It is advisable to show the freezing in
date on each individual pack to enable
you to keep tab of the storage time.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this
appliance, you should:
• Make sure that the commercially frozen
foodstuffs were adequately stored by
the retailer.
• Be sure that frozen foodstuffs are trans-
ferred from the foodstore to the freezer
in the shortest possible time.
• Do not open the lid frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates
rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indi-
cated by the food manufacturer.

Defrosting the freezer

CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost from the evaporator
as you could damage it. Do not use
a mechanical device or any artificial
means to speed up the thawing
process other than those recom-
mended by the manufacturer. A
temperature rise of the frozen food
packs, during defrosting, may
shorten their safe storage life.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 10-15 mm.
The amount of frost on the walls of the ap-
pliance will be increased by high levels of
outer humidity and if the frozen food is not
wrapped properly.
The best time to defrost the freezer when
it contains no or only a little food.
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it
in a cool place.
3. Leave the lid open, remove the plug
from the defrost water drain and col-
lect all defrost water on a tray. Use a
scraper to remove ice quickly.
