[. . . ] Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer compartment by using pointed or sharp edged objects. Frozen Food Storage When first starting the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least 4 hours with the 'fast freeze' switch on before storing frozen food. Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer. Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is necessary. Important Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer. Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer can cause 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. In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and the freezer is full. Should the food begin to thaw it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen. (See Hints and Tips) Hints & Tips Food Storage To obtain the best performance from your freezer: Do not store warm food or evaporating liquid. Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it straight away. The use of an insulated container is advisable. Carefully draw the plastic drain spout out of the lower part of the appliance according to the direction of the arrow and place a tray of a suitable size in the position shown. 5. During defrosting, push the defrost water towards the edge of the cooling plates using a dry cloth or a sponge. It will be collected at the bottom of the appliance, from where it can be diverted into the tray and then disposed of. To accelerate the defrosting process place a bowl of hot (not boiling) water inside the freezer and close the door. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly, replace the drain spout and close the door. Turn the thermostat control knob back to a medium setting and leave to run for at least 4 hours with the 'fast freeze' switch on. Important A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their safe storage life.
