Never forget:
•
When you freeze fresh foods with a 'use by/best before/best by/' date, you
must freeze them before this date expires.
•
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.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice cube tray (not supplied) with 3/4 full of drinking water and place in
the freezer.
If the ice cube tray is stuck to the freezer, loosen with a blunt tool only.
To loosen the ice cubes, twist the ice cube tray slightly or hold briefly under
flowing water.
Operating noises
Normal noises
•
Motors are running.
•
Refrigerant is flowing through the tubing.
Energy saving tips
•
The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from
heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
•
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer.
Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that
freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
•
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them
in the freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.
•
Freezer storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or
paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer
less efficient.
•
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches.
Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon
as possible.
