FREEZING GUIDE
• Operate the freezer for 12 hours before loading it.
• If you are loading bulk into the freezer, load one quarter at a time and allow to freeze
before loading the next quarter.
• Divide food into reasonable portions according to your requirements.
• Allow hot food to cool before putting it in the freezer.
• Seal all foods, or place in airtight containers to prevent dehydration.
• Remember, liquids can increase in volume when frozen. Do not store sealed bottles,
jars or cans in the freezer as the contents will freeze, expand and rupture the
container.
• Do not exceed the expiry date shown on food packs.
• The topmost section of the freezer, behind the flap, is a fast freeze compartment.
Food stored there comes in direct contact with the cold airflow from the fan.
• The storage baskets may be partially or completely pulled out to facilitate loading.
• The baskets are not all the same size and care should be taken, after cleaning or
loading, to replace them in the original order to ensure a correct fit.
• The calendar on the inside of the freezer door serves as a guide and shows the safe
storage period (in months) for the depicted foods.
CLEANING
• Always disconnect the plug from the mains socket before cleaning the appliance.
Remember that turning the thermostats to “0” does not switch the power off to the
unit.
• Clean the inside of the appliance whenever necessary using a solution of warm water
and Bicarbonate of Soda. (1 table spoon to every 2 litres of water).
• Dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use pot scourers or abrasive powders to clean the appliance.
• Spillages, especially citric and acidic juices, must be wiped up immediately as they
could stain the product.
• Always ensure that the defrost drain, below the cold plate in the refrigerator, is clean
and free of obstructions.
• Shelves and freezer baskets may be removed for cleaning purposes.
• The back of the unit may be vacuumed or dusted using a soft bristle brush.
• A mild furniture polish may be used on the exterior cabinet to add lustre and protect
against finger marks.
Important: Ensure that the baffle plate, above the bottom basket in the
freezer section, is placed in position after cleaning. It is an integral part of
the No Frost system.
