HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been removed from many pre-prepared foods. This together with the changes in shopping habits to a once-a-week shop, mean that safe handling and storage of food is even more important than ever. The following tips should help you to ensure that the food in your home is in as perfect condition as possible. s s s s s s s s s s s s Keep the freezer door closed as much as possible. Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item. Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do NOT place in the freezer until cool.

Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and labelled and used in date order to ensure that food is consumed at its best. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place. Turn the thermostat control to the «O» setting. Introduce the plastic scraper in the appropriate seating at the base of the cabinet as shown in the figure and place a basin underneath to collect the defrost water. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly.

Do not forget to release the fast freeze switch when you replace the food in the freezer. Important A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their storage life. Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage the appliance beyond repair.
