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. Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and used in date order to ensure that food is consumed at its best. Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty foods, salt also reduces 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. During this operation it is not necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply or remove the frozen food. However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out and it is advisable to perform this operation when the freezer is empty. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store in a cool place. Carefully draw the plastic drain spout out of the lower part of the appliance according to the direction of the arrow and place a tray of a suitable size in the position shown. During defrosting, drive the defrost water towards the edge of the cooling plates using a dry cloth or a sponge. It will be collected at the bottom of the appliance, where it is diverted into the tray and then disposed of. To accelerate the defrosting process place a bowl of hot (not boiling) water inside the freezer and close the door. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly, replace the drain spout and close the door.
