If a very small quantity of fresh food is to be frozen, it is NOT necessary to adjust the thermostat control in advance. Always ensure that air can circulate around the food to be frozen; this will help it to freeze quicker. Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen, touch food which is already frozen. During the freezing process, please make sure that the door remains closed. Important If the temperature of frozen food rises because of: a) Non compliance with manufacturer's recommendations, b) Electric power failure, c) Defrosting, then recommended storage life may be reduced and storage times may not apply. Frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be used immediately or thrown away.

[. . . ] Check that: " Have you turned the thermostat to the correct setting?" Has the door been left open causing the temperature to rise?"
