Fast freeze • The chest freezer will fast freezer your produce successfully but for the best results you are advised to follow these instructions carefully. • Only use top quality products freezing preserves their quality but cannot improve it. • Carefully clean and prepare each item and wrap in polythene or place in waxed cartons. • Keep down the size of each package to a minimum, do not forget that a square packages will utilise more effectively the storage space in your freezer. • Freeze each package as quickly as possible. Produce to be frozen should be placed in as much contact as possible with the sides in the freezer. • Avoid placing unfrozen food in contact with food previously frozen. • Do not overload the freezer with fresh produce. The maximum amount of fresh produce that can be frozen in 24 hours is 12. 5 kilograms. Frozen food should be used in rotation and therefore packages should be carefully labelled. • Turn the thermostat control knob to number 6 (fast freeze position) 24 hours before the desired freezing is to be effected. After this period of time the appliance will be ready to freeze the fresh produce. • 24 hours after putting in the fresh produce the freezing operation should be completed and the thermostat control knob returned by to it's normal position. • Commercially frozen pre-packed food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturers instructions. DEFROSTING Small amounts of frost will accumulate inside the freezer depending upon the length of time during which the lid is left open or the amount of moisture introduced. It is essential to ensure that no frost or ice is allowed to form at places where it will affect the close fitting of the lid gasket. This might allow air to penetrate the cabinet, thus encouraging continuous running of the compressor. Thin frost formation is quite soft and can be removed with a brush or plastic scraper. Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process. [. . . ] If a long breakdown is anticipated, try to get the produce into another freezer or cold store, if possible, a supply of Dry Ice to place within the cabinet. If the breakdown is with the cabinet and not a blown fuse or power failure (do not forget that the temperature control regulates the amount of time during which the compressor operates, a silent compressor does not necessarily mean a breakdown).
