Take care that your frozen food packages do not start to thaw
before you place them in your freezer. This will shorten the
length of time that you can safely store the food for.
Defrosting frozen food
o
Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as
possible.
o
Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy the micro
organisms which rapidly activate themselves after defrosting and
make foods perishable.
o
Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of food, especially
fruits, vegetables and readymade meals.
In the event of a power cut
o
If there is a power cut, then food inside of the appliance will
remain at a safe temperature for approximately 3 hours.
o
If the power cut is short, then the best place to leave the frozen
food is inside of the freezer compartment. Particularly if there
are ice cubes inside the of the upper freezer drawer, as this will
help to maintain the temperature.
o
If there is a prolonged power cut, then you may need to remove
food from the freezer section and store it in a cold place. To
preserve the temperature, you should wrap the food in layers of
newspaper.
o
Once power is restored, if the food has not started to defrost,
then it should be returned to the freezer section.
o
If any of the food has started to defrost, then you should not
return it into the freezer section, it should be consumed within a
short period of time.
