Tel: 0645 556000 Tip: Food stored in the refrigerator compartment should always be covered or packed so that they do not dry out, lose their flavour, or transfer their flavour to any other refrigerated food. The following are suitable for packing: ­ polyethylene bags; ­ plastic containers with lids; ­ special plastic covers with rubber retainers; ­ aluminium foil. 18 To obtain the best performance from your refrigerator/freezer: · Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids. · Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your freezer as short as possible. · Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item. Switching the Appliance Off 0 1. To switch off, turn the temperature regulator to position "0". If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period: 0 1. To do this turn the temperature regulator to position "0". Clean the appliance thoroughly (see section: "Cleaning and Care"). Leave the doors open after defrosting to avoid accumulation of odours. Opening the Freezer Compartment Door If the freezer compartment door is closed when the appliance is in operation, it is possible that it cannot be immediately opened again. A vacuum occurs in the freezer compartment which holds the door closed until pressure has been equalised. The door can be opened again after several minutes. 19 Freezing Warning!· Before foods are frozen, the actual temperature in the freezer compartment must be -18 °C or colder. · Please observe indicated freezing capacity on the rating plate. The freezing capacity represents the maximum amount of fresh goods that can be frozen within 24 hours. If you freeze goods on several days, one after the other, freeze amounts equal to 2/3 to 3/4 of the capacity indicated on the rating plate. · Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time. For freezing the maximum capacity press the ambient switch 12 hours prior to freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller quantities. All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs. Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Unfrozen goods may not come into contact with already frozen goods, otherwise the frozen goods may start to thaw. [. . . ] · Home visits are made between 8. 30am and 5. 30pm Monday to Friday. Visits may be available outside these hours in which case a premium will be charged.
