Some meat, especially game, should be hung before it is frozen. • Note: • Always leave hot food to cool before placing in the freezer. • Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately. If possible, defrost the freezer compartment when it is nearly empty. • If there is frozen food in the freezer, switch on the fast freeze function for a few hours before defrosting in order to chill food as much as possible. • Remove the food from the freezer compartment, wrap in a newspaper and group together in a cool place or in a portable cooler. • Disconnect the freezer from the mains power supply. • Leave the freezer door open to allow the frost to melt. • Pull out the defrost water drain and place a basin underneath the outlet. • Clean the interior of the freezer compartment with a sponge and warm water and/or neutral detergent. • Rinse the interior and dry thoroughly. • Close the freezer and select the fast freeze function.
