[. . . ] When you arrive home, place the frozen food in the freezer compartment immediately. Ensure that food placed in the freezer compartment is dated and labelled and used in date order to ensure that food is consumed at its best. Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food, salt reduces the storage time. Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and provide an airtight seal. Packaging which is swollen or has traces of refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate that the product has not been kept at a suitable temperature and that it may have lost its original quality. Partially thawed food must not be refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours. While in operation the ****-star compartment becomes progressively covered with frost. This frost, which acts as an insulator and thus prevents the cold from reaching the food should be removed whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 6 mm (1/4"). To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows: 1. Remove any food from inside the ****-star compartment, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and store in a cool dry place. Turn the thermostat knob to position << 0 >>. To accelerate defrosting, place a bowl of hot water inside the compartment (with a piece of cardboard underneath the bowl as protection). Remove any loose pieces of ice as soon as possible. When defrosting is completed, clean and dry thoroughly. 9 Turn the thermostat knob to a medium position to restart the appliance. After letting the appliance run for at least half an hour replace the previously removed food into the **** -star compartment. When defrosting it is not necessary to remove the foods from the inner door and the refrigerator compartment. Important A temperature rise of the frozen food packs during defrosting may shorten their storage life. Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it beyond repair.
