Care And Cleaning - IKEA Frosting SC100/17 Handbuch

ENGLISH
• Milk bottles: these should have a cap and
should be stored in the bottle rack on the
door.
• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic: if
not packed, must not be kept in the re-
frigerator.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some hints:
• The maximum quantity of food which can
be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rat-
ing plate.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No
further food to be frozen should be add-
ed during this period.
• Freeze only top quality, fresh and thor-
oughly cleaned foodstuffs.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable
it to be rapidly and completely frozen
and to make it possible subsequently to
thaw only the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or
polythene and make sure that the pack-
ages are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to
touch food which is already frozen, thus
avoiding a rise in temperature of the lat-
ter.

Care and cleaning

Caution! Before carrying out any
maintenance operation, disconnect the
power supply.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its
cooling unit; maintenance and recharging
must therefore only be carried out by au-
thorized technicians.
Warning! The accessories and parts of
the appliance are not suitable for
washing in a dishwasher.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
• Lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of
food.
• Water ices, if consumed immediately af-
ter removal from the freezer compart-
ment, can possibly cause the skin to be
freeze burnt.
• It is advisable to show the freezing in
date on each individual pack to enable
you to keep tab of the storage time.
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this
appliance, you should:
• Make sure that the commercially frozen
foodstuffs were adequately stored by the
retailer.
• Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are
transferred from the foodstore to the
freezer in the shortest possible time.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave
it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapid-
ly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indica-
ted by the food manufacturer.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe
clean to ensure they are clean and free
from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not pull, move or damage
any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products or wax
polishes to clean the interior as this will
damage the surface and leave a strong
odour.
Once a year remove the ventilation grill at
the base of the appliance and clean the air
channels with a vacuum cleaner. This oper-
ation will improve the performance of the
appliance and save electricity consumption.
