the temperature rises above normal in the cabinet.

Frozen food storage
Your appliance has the following frozen food net
storage volume: 62 litres.
Operate the fast freeze switch BEFORE placing
fresh food to be frozen in the freezer.
Place fresh food to be frozen in the top basket; food
is completely frozen 24 hours later.
When the food is completely frozen it can be
transferred to one of the other 2 baskets. 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.
Alternatively if the food is uncooked and has not
been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then
refrozen.
