B) Freezer compartment
Defrosting is very straightforward and
without mess, thanks to a special defrost
collection basin.
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer
of around 7 (1/4") mm has formed. To
start the defrosting procedure, switch off
the appliance at the socket outlet and
pull out the mains plug.
All food should be wrapped in several
layers of newspaper and stored in a cool
place (e.g.) fridge or larder.
Containers of warm water may be placed
carefully in the freezer to speed up the
defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged
objects, such as knives or forks to
remove the frost.
Never use hair dryers, electrical heaters
or other such electrical appliances for
defrosting.
Sponge out the defrost water collected in
the bottom of the freezer compartment.
After defrosting, dry the interior
thoroughly Insert the plug into the wall
socket and switch on the electricity
supply.
Freezing fresh food
• It must be preferred to wrap or cover
the food before placing them in the
refrigerator.
• Hot food must cool down to the room
temperature before putting them in
the refrigerator.
• The foodstuff that you want to freeze
must be fresh and in good quality.
• Foodstuff must be divided into
portions according to the family's daily
or meal based consumption needs.
• The foodstuff must be packaged in an
airtight manner to prevent them from
drying even if they are going to be
kept for a short time.
• Materials to be used for packaging
must be tear-proof and resistant to
cold, humidity, odor, oils and acids
and they must also be airtight.
Moreover, they must be well closed
and they must be made from easyto-
use materials that are suitable for
deep freeze usage.
• Frozen food must be used
immediately after they are thawed and
they should never be re-frozen.
• Please observe the following
instructions to obtain the best results.
1. Do not freeze too large quantities
of food at one time. The quality of
the food is best preserved when it
is frozen right through to the core as
quickly as possible.
2. Placing warm food into the freezer
compartment causes the cooling
system to operate continuously until
the food is frozen solid.
3. Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food.
