o
Milk bottles
should have a cap on them and be stored on the
bottle shelves that sit in the door.
o
Garlic, potatoes, onions and bananas should only be
stored in a refrigerator IF they are stored in airtight
containers.
The
freezer compartment
The freezer compartment is suitable for storing and freezing food.
o
The freezer compartment temperature must have already
reached -18 degrees centigrade (or lower) before you attempt to
store food that is already frozen or freezing fresh food.
o
The freezer compartment is only able to freeze a certain quantity
of fresh food at one time. The maximum amount of fresh food
(in kilograms) that can be frozen in a 24 hour period is listed on
the rating plate.
o
Warm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt
to freeze it. If you place warm food in the freezer compartment,
then the increased humidity will cause quicker ice formation and
increase the amount of power that the appliance uses.
o
The guidance of the food manufacturer should be followed, in
regard to the maximum storage time.
o
Thawed foods must not be frozen for a second time.
Freezing fresh food
o
To freeze the maximum quantity of fresh food
specified above, you should turn the
SUPER
FREEZER
function on 24 hours prior to attempting
freezing.
o
To freeze smaller quantities of fresh food, you
should turn on the
SUPER FREEZER
function a few
hours prior to attempting freezing.
o
Fresh food should be packed into airtight
containers or packaging. This will help to make
sure that the food doesn’t dry out or lose its
flavour. It will also ensure that flavour does not
transfer from other foods.
