[. . . ] Press the Super button 6-24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer, depending on how much food is to be frozen. Place the food in the freezer and leave the Super button on for about 24 hours more. Then press the Super button again (yellow light goes off). The freezer will return to normal storage temperature. If you forget to press the Super button again, the freezer will not be damaged by running at the Super setting for some time - but energy will be wasted. 35 HOW TO USE PACKAGING AND POSITIONING Food must be cold before freezing (no more than room temperature). Food must be packed in airtight and moisture-proof packaging to prevent it from drying out. Place fresh food for freezing close to the cold sides of the freezer, making sure that it is not in contact with the frozen food already in the freezer. Never fill the freezer to more than 5 mm below the top edge. See under Helpful hints. BASKET The baskets are designed for the storage of food which has already been frozen. The handles can be placed in two positions, as shown in the drawings. The baskets can either be placed inside the freezer or hung on the edge of the casing. CAPACITY The freezing capacity of the freezer is stated in the data plate (kg/24 hours). Do not exceed the amount stated - if you do, the freezing time will be extended. The data plate is located inside the lid. IMPORTANT The freezing capacity stated can be utilised to the full occasionally to freeze large amounts of fresh food. However, if the freezer is filled with large amounts of food for freezing every day, the capacity stated is reduced by about one-third. LOW FROST SYSTEM. The patented LOW FROST System reduces the icebuild-up in the chest freezer by up to 80 percent, which results in up to five times longer periods between the requirement to defrost. To get the full benefit of the system, please observe the following points: The amount of ice-build-up in any freezer is very much dependent of the moisture of the surrounding air. The ice will build up quicker in a humid climate than in a dry climate. Therefore you should avoid installing your freezer in very humid surroundings. The LOW FROST system minimizes the amount of ice caused by the natural temperature cycle of the freezer. However, ice-build-up from other sources is not reduced. The most important other sources are poorly wrapped food and warm air introduced when the lid is opened. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the lid isnt opened unnecessarily, and the lid is not obstructed by packs of food when closed. [. . . ] Providing the period of power failure or breakdown does not exceed the hold-over period there will be no risk of damage to the frozen food, providing you do not open the lid during this period. If the freezer is only half full or the lid is opened this will reduce the hold-over time. After the breakdown period you are recommended to check the condition of food to ensure it has not started to thaw. Frozen food must NOT be re-frozen once it has thawed out. [. . . ]
