Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings. These warnings have been provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read them carefully before installing or using the appliance. If you are unsure of the meanings of these warnings contact the John Lewis branch from which you purchased the appliance. Installation · Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. [. . . ] Dry thoroughly. Frozen food storage When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least two hours in the «fast freeze» mode before storing frozen food. To obtain the best performance from this appliance, we strongly recommend that you make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer and, furthermore, be sure that these frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the consumer in the shortest possible time (a temperature increase of the frozen food could shorten its storage period). It is also advisable not to exceed the storage period indicated by the producer of the food. Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary. Warning Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc. ), in the freezer compartment. Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can possibly result in a low temperature skin burn. Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or "frost/freezer burns". If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen food, do not open the door during the whole time of the power failure. If the freezer is fully loaded, the frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration; otherwise, it is recommended to consume the food within a very short time. Freezing fresh food In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 18 kg of fresh food. Activate fast freeze by depressing the fast-freeze switch (4) 24 hours before you want to freeze your fresh food, the yellow light (3) illuminates. If the quick-freezing function is not ended manually, the appliance switch off the quick-freezing function after 52 hours. The yellow light goes out. This time can be shortened, depending on the quantity of food to be frozen. After the time has elapsed place the food to be frozen in the two top compartments of the freezer as this is the coldest part; if freezing only a small amount of food, always use the top compartment. Once the food is completely frozen (which could take up to 24 hours) press the fast freeze switch to deactivate the fast freeze mode; the yellow light (3) goes off. Distribute the frozen food packages in the other compartments, so that the top compartments can be used for a further freezing operation. Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned foodstuffs. Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is already frozen. During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer door remains closed. 14 Thawing Frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature depending on the time available. Small food items may even be cooked from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer. Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen. Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through. Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in the oven in their aluminium wrapping.
