Care And Cleaning - IKEA FROSTIG SC100/17 Mode D'emploi

ENGLISH
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No
further food to be frozen should be added
during this period.
• Freeze only top quality, fresh and thor-
oughly cleaned foodstuffs.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it
to be rapidly and completely frozen and to
make it possible subsequently to thaw only
the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or pol-
ythene and make sure that the packages
are airtight.
• 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.
• Water ices, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer compartment,
can possibly cause the skin to be freeze
burnt.

Care and cleaning

ized technicians.

washing in a dishwasher.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with luke-
warm water and some neutral soap.

from debris.

Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this ap-
pliance, you should:
• Make sure that the commercially frozen
foodstuffs were adequately stored by the
retailer.
• Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are trans-
ferred from the foodstore to the freezer in
the shortest possible time.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly
and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indica-
ted by the food manufacturer.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products or wax
polishes to clean the interior as this will dam-
age the surface and leave a strong odour.
Once a year remove the ventilation grill at
the base of the appliance and clean the air
channels with a vacuum cleaner. This opera-
tion will improve the performance of the ap-
pliance and save electricity consumption.
Important! Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/damage
the plastics used in this appliance. For this
reason it is recommended that the outer cas-
ing of this appliance is only cleaned with
warm water with a little washing-up liquid
added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to
the mains supply.
