Hints for freezing

When first starting-up or

after a period out of use, let

the appliance run at least 2

hours on the higher settings

before putting food in the

compartment.

Prepare food in small

portions to enable it to be

rapidly and completely

frozen and to make it

possible to subsequently

thaw only the quantity

required.

Wrap up the food In aluminum

foil or polyethylene food wraps

which are airtight.

Do not allow fresh，

unfrozen food to touch the

food which is already frozen

to avoid temperature rise of

the latter.

Iced products, if consumed

immediately after removal

from the freezer compartment,

will probably cause frost burns

to the skin.

It is recommended to label

and date each frozen

package in order to keep

track of the storage time.
