Never forget:
·
When you freeze fresh foods with a 'use by/best before/best by/' date, you must freeze them before
the expiry of this date.
·
Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not
be refrozen.
·
Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly.
VACATION TIME
For short vacation periods, leave the control knobs at their usual settings. During longer absences:
·
Remove all foods.
·
Disconnect from electrical outlet.
·
Clean the freezer thoroughly, including defrost pan.
·
Leave door open to avoid possible formations of condensate, mould or odours.
POWER FAILURE
·
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two and will not affect your freezer temperatures.
However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.
·
During power failures of longer duration, take steps to protect your food by putting dry ice on top of
packages.
·
Frozen food should not be affected if the power failure lasts for less than 15 hours. Do not refreeze
frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat.
SOME IMPORTANT RULES FOR THE CORRECT USE OF THE FREEZER
·
Never place hot foods in the freezer.
·
Don't overload the cabinet.
·
Don't open the door unless necessary.
·
Caution: please keep the product away from fire or similar glowing substances before you dispose of
the freezer.
·
Caution: Not for outer camping use (e.g. in a tent).
·
Caution: For indoor use only.
·
Caution: The appliance can not be used in public transportation.
·
Keep all accessories, such as shelves, door racks, and drawers, in the appliance to minimise energy
consumption.
·
Do not place carbonated drinks in the freezer. The bottle/can is pressurised and may explode.
·
Be careful when consuming ice creams that come from the freezer. These can cause frostbite.
·
An empty freezer consumes more energy. After all, when the door is opened, warm air enters the
space and needs to be cooled. More air enters when there are fewer products, meaning that more
energy needs to be consumed to cool that air. So fill your freezer properly or choose a model sized for
your needs.
