Switching off Super freeze Depending on the amount of food placed in the freezer section, the Super freeze function will switch off automatically after approx. The Super freeze indicator light will go out and the appliance will continue running at normal power. To save energy, the Super freeze function can be switched off once a constant temperature of -18 °C or colder has been reached in the freezer section. The Super freeze indicator light will go out, and the appliance will continue to operate at normal power. 19 Adjusting the interior fittings Moving the shelves The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ With the rear barrier facing upwards, place the shelf at the required position. The rear barrier must face upwards to prevent food from touching the back of the appliance and freezing to it. Adjusting the door shelves ^ Push the door shelf upwards, then remove it by pulling it out. Ensure that it is securely pushed back into position. Bottle rack (depending on model) Bottles can be stored securely in the bottle rack. To avoid any risk of the bottle rack slipping, ensure that it is secured at the back of the required shelf. 20 Freezing and storing food Maximum freezing capacity To ensure that fresh food placed in the freezer freezes through to the core as quickly as possible, the maximum freezing capacity must not be exceeded. The maximum freezing capacity for freezing within a 24-hour period is given on the data plate "Freezing capacity . . . . kg/24 hrs". Home freezing Only freeze fresh food which is in a good condition. Hints on home freezing ­ The following types of food are suitable for freezing: Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy products, pastry, leftovers, egg yolks, egg whites and a range of pre-cooked meals. ­ The following types of food are not suitable for freezing: Grapes, lettuce, radishes, sour cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their shells, onions, whole raw apples and pears. ­ To retain colour, taste and vitamin C, vegetables should be blanched after they have been trimmed and washed. To blanch: bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and immerse the vegetables in the fast boiling water for 2-3 minutes, depending on the variety. ­ Lean meat freezes better than fatty meat, and can be stored for considerably longer. ­ To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or rolled meat from freezing together in solid blocks when packed, separate with a sheet of plastic freezer film. Storing frozen food When buying frozen food to store in your freezer compartment, check ­ that the packaging is not damaged, ­ the use-by date, ­ the temperature at which the frozen food is being stored in the shop. The length of time it can be kept is reduced if it has been stored at a temperature warmer than -18 °C. ^ Buy frozen food once you have finished the rest of your shopping, and wrap it in newspaper or use a cool bag or cool box to transport it. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked. 21 Freezing and storing food ­ Do not season fresh foods or blanched vegetables before freezing. Only season cooked food lightly before freezing, but care should be taken as the taste of some spices alters when frozen. [. . . ] Replacement fuses should be ASTA approved to BS 1362 and have the correct rating. Replacement fuses and fuse covers may be purchased from your local electrical supplier. WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED 32 Installation Do not place any appliance which gives off heat, such as a toaster or microwave oven, on top of this appliance, as this would increase the appliance's energy consumption. Climate range SN N ST T SN-ST SN-T Ambient room temperature +10°C to +32°C +16°C to +32°C +18°C to +38°C +18°C to +43°C +10°C to +38°C +10°C to +43°C If the appliance is being placed next to another refrigerator or freezer, there must be a gap between them of at least 2 cm to allow for ventilation. Otherwise there is the risk of corrosion damage. Operating in a room which is too cold will cause the cooling system to switch off for too long causing the internal temperature in the appliance to rise with the risk of frozen food defrosting. Ventilation Location The appliance should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated room. The room temperature should not go above or below the climate range for which the appliance is designed. [. . . ]
