The freezer drawers are used to store food that needs to be frozen. Fish and meat of large block
size should be cut into small pieces and packed into fresh-keeping bags before they are evenly
distributed inside the freezer drawers.
FAST FREEZING
1) Refer to the description about fast freezing function in the "Function" section.
2) Compared with the normal freezing, fast freezing enables food to pass through the maximum ice
crystal formation zone at the fastest speed. Fast freezing can freeze the food water content into
fine ice crystals, without damaging the cell membrane, so cell juice will not be lost when thawing,
and the original freshness and nutrition of food can be maintained.
3) The fast-freezing function is designed to preserve nutrition of the frozen food, with the food
thoroughly frozen in the shortest time. Fast freezing consumes more energy than the normal
freezing does.
• Allow the hot foods to cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the freezer
compartment.
• Do not put a glass container with liquid or the canned liquid that is sealed in the freezer
compartment, so as to avoid burst due to volume expansion after the liquid gets frozen up.
• Divide the food into appropriately small portions
• You'd better pack the food up before freezing it, and the packing bag used should be dry, in case
the packing bags are frozen together. Foods should be packed or covered by such suitable
materials as are firm, tasteless, impervious to air and water, non-toxic and pollution-free, to avoid
cross-contamination and transfer of odor.
HOW TO USE THE ICE-MAKING BOX
Place the ice-making box in the upper position of the freezer compartment, so that it ices up as soon
as possible.
TIPS FOR SHOPPING THE FROZEN FOODS
1. When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will be
able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the star rating. This is usually
the period stated as "Best to use them before×", found on the front of the packaging.
2. Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy the frozen foods.
3. Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
4. Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.
5. Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping and on the journey home, as this will help to
keep the food cooler.
6. Don't buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Special insulated bags can be
bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These keep the frozen foods cold longer.
7. For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be added
directly to boiling water or steam cooked. Frozen sauces and soups can be put into a saucepan
and heated gently until thawed.
8. Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. When foods are frozen in small quantities, it
will take less than for them to freeze up and thaw.
9. Estimate the amount of food to be frozen up. When freezing large amounts of fresh food, adjust
the temperature control knob to the low mode, with the freezer temperature lowered. So, foods
can be frozen up in fast manner, with the food freshness well kept.
