[. . . ] Frost may be removed by using the scraper provided. Under no circumstances should solid ice be forced off the liner. Solid ice should be allowed to thaw when defrosting the appliance. Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer as it creates pressure on the container, which may cause it to explode, resulting in damage to the appliance. s s Installation s s s There are working parts in this product which heat up. [. . . ] When the appliance is switched on for the first time or when food is placed in the compartment for freezing, this light remains on until the temperature has reached the level required for correct storage. 36 Freezing of fresh foods To quick-freeze foods when the appliance has not been in use, switch on the freezer and let it run on the quick-freeze setting for at least three hours before putting the food to be *frozen in the compartment. If instead the appliance is already in operation, it should run on the quick-freeze setting for at least 24 hours before the foods are put in the freezer. Once the foods have been placed in the freezer, the freezing operation can be considered to be complete 24 hours later. Once freezing is complete, the freezer should be reset for normal storage use. Food to be frozen has to be placed in the top compartment. The maximum amount of food which is freezable in 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate. This is to be found on the bottom left-hand side. You should never freeze all at once a greater quantity of foods than the maximum indicated on the appliance's rating plate. To help you get the best out of the freezing process, here are a few hints: s Freeze only good-quality, fresh and well-cleaned foods. Split them into small portions to speed up freezing and avoid having to thaw more food than you require. It is in fact important to remember that once the foods have thawed out, they deteriorate fast. s Another point to remember is that lean foods keep better and longer than fatty foods. s Wrap the foods in foil or polythene film, ensuring that the wrapping adheres closely to the food and is well sealed. In this way, by avoiding contact with air, the colour flavour and nutritional value of the foods remain intact. s During the freezing process, do not add further foods for freezing and do not open the freezer door. s The foods for freezing should not be placed in contact with already frozen foods, but put in the special freezing compartment. This will stop the temperature of already frozen foods from rising. s Never put fizzy drinks in the freezer as they might well burst. In addition, never put hot foods or liquids in the freezer compartment and take care not to fill recipients up to the brim if they are covered with a lid. s It is a good idea to mark the packs with the date on which freezing started so that you can keep a check on storage periods.
