Hints for freezing
• When first starting up or after a period out of use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on
the higher settings before putting food in the compartment.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make
it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight.
• Don't allow fresh,unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid
temperature rise of the latter.
• Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment,will
probably cause frost burns to the skin.
• It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep track of the
storage time.

• Once defrosted, food will deteriorate rapidly and should not be re-frozen. Do not exceed the
storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
