Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0. 5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly. Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy water at regular intervals. Dry throughly before replacing. Freezing fresh food In any 24 hours you can freeze up to 4. 5 kg. Place food to be frozen on the shelf of the freezer as this is the coldest part. The food to be frozen must be fresh and of the best quality. The size of each pack should be small enough to ensure that it is used in one go. Frozen food, once thawed, must not be refrozen. Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food, salt reduces the storage time. Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and provide an airtight seal. Stick a label on each pack showing the contents and date of freezing. This makes it easy to check storage times. Containers with a lid must not be filled to the brim. Do not open the door or place extra fresh food in the freezer next to food which is already frozen as this could cause the temperature of the frozen food to rise and its quality and storage life to reduce. Important In the event of a power cut if you do not open the door the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen. Freezer The freezer compartment will become progressively covered with frost. When the frost has reached a thickness of up to 4mm it can be removed using the ice scraper provided with the appliance. During this operation it is not necessary to disconnect the appliance from the mains and remove the food.
