4. OPERATION

Freezing fresh food

Ensure that your freezing operations are car-
ried out under the most hygienic conditions
as freezing alone does not improve the food.
Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into
the freezer.
Prior to freezing the food, food should always
be covered tightly with foil, plastic film,
placed in plastic bags or stored in airtight
containers. This will prevent food from dehy-
drating and to prevent any strong odours of
some foods transferring to milder ones.
To freeze raw meat, wrap in plastic bags or
in airtight containers and place on the lowest
shelf to avoid cross contamination.
Do not allow raw meat to come into contact
with cooked foods. For safety, only store raw
meat for two or three days. Fruit and vegeta-
bles should be thoroughly cleaned and place
in the crisper. Milk and other liquids should
be sealed with lids and placed in the bottle
shelf in the door.
NOTE : The ambient temperature of
the freshly stored food and how often the
door is opened affect the temperature in
the refrigerator. If required, change the
temperature settings.

Storing frozen food

All frozen food you purchase should be place
in the freezer as soon as possible to avoid
them from defrosting and spoiling.
All storage recommendations printed on the
packaging of frozen food by the manufac-
turer should always be followed.
When using the freezer for the first time or
after defrosting, set the control knob to the
maximum position for at least 2 hours before
introducing food to be stored, and then read-
just it to the normal position.

Making ice cubes

1. Fill the ice tray (not supplied) with ¾ full of
clean water.
2. Place the tray in the freezer.
3. Close the door.
To remove the ice cubes from the tray, put
the tray under running water for a while and
then twist the tray slightly to loosen the ice
cubes.
