When the appliance has reached the set temperature and the red indicator light has gone out slide the 'fast freeze' switch back to the left. Thermostat Control The temperature within the freezer is controlled by the thermostat control knob situated on the control panel. 0 = Off Turning the thermostat control knob clockwise makes the temperature progressively colder. Basket Storage Frozen food should be stored in the two lower baskets and the top compartment used for storage or fast freezing of fresh food. Freezer Tray The Freezer Tray is particularly suitable for open freezing, for example strawberries, raspberries etc. Freezing Fresh Food It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is frozen quickly and that the food already in the freezer is heated as little as possible. Slide the fast freeze switch (d) to the right 6-24 hours before placing the fresh food in the freezer, the yellow light will illuminate. The compressor will now run continuously, to ensure that the fresh food is frozen as quickly as possible. Place the food in the freezing compartment and leave the 'fast freeze' switch on for a further 24 hours. Then push the fast freezer switch again (the yellow light will go out and the switch turns to its original position). The freezing tray is suitable for freezing smaller fruits (raspberries, strawberries, currants, etc. ). After freezing they can be packed and sorted out then placed into the storing compartments. If the 'fast freeze' switch is accidentally left on, the freezer will not be damaged, but energy will be wasted. 2. To remove the cubes twist the tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds. Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer compartment by using pointed or sharp edged objects. Hints & Tips Food Storage To obtain the best performance from your freezer: Do not store warm food or evaporating liquid. When you arrive home, place the frozen food in the freezer immediately. Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item. Do not store uncovered food. Frozen Food Storage When first starting the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least 2 hours with the 'fast freeze' switch on before storing frozen food. Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is necessary. Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer can cause a low temperature skin burn. Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to often switch on unnecessarily. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly. In the Event of a Power Failure If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen foods, keep the door closed. If the temperature within your freezer should rise, do not refreeze the food without checking its condition. The following guidelines should assist you: Ice Cream: Once thawed should be discarded. Large Pieces of Meat: Can be refrozen providing there are still ice crystals remaining within them.
