Freezing fresh food
Take special care not to mix with
already frozen food.
Always choose high quality fresh food
and be sure it is thoroughly clean.
Prepare fresh food in small portions to
ensure rapid freezing. Do not freeze too
large a quantity at any one time. The
quality is best preserved when the food
is frozen right through to the core as
quickly as possible.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity
which in a 24 hour period is 6 kg (13
lbs).
When freezing the maximum amount,
turn the setting knob to MAX.
When freezing average amounts, the
setting knob can be kept at medium
position. i.e. 2 kg (5lbs)
When freezing small quantities, up to
1/2 kg (1 lb), the setting knob will not
need adjusting.
Preparation
Wrap food in aluminium foil or freezer
quality polythene bags.Wrap fish and
offal in polythene bags.
Wrap food which has a strong odour
or can dry out, in polythene bags,
aluminium foil, or place in airtight
containers.
Make sure all air is excluded from foil
wrapping or bags.
Freezer compartment storage info/
advice
Do not leave frozen food at room
temperature to thaw; the best way to
defrost food is to put it in the fridge
to thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid
defrosting food or food juices drip onto
other food.
The freezer compartment is
rated and suitable for freezing food and
the storage of pre-frozen food.
Don’t freeze filled bottles or sealed
cans containing fizzy (carbonated)
drinks as they may burst.
Check contents of the freezer every so
often.Don’t close the freezer door before
placing the fast freeze compartment
cover in its place.Don’t try to keep
frozen food which has thawed, it should
be eaten within 24 hours or cooked and
re-frozen.If there is a power failure do
not open the door. Frozen food should
not be affected if the failure lasts for less
than 18 hours. If the failure is longer,
then the food should be checked and
either eaten immediately or cooked and
then re-frozen.Placing warm food into
the freezer compartment causes the
compressor to operate continuously
until the food is frozen solid. This can
temporarily lead to excessive cooling of
the refrigeration compartment.
"The wire shelf between the two full
depth plastic drawers can be removed
temporarily if you want to store a turkey.
After you remove the drawers, pull out
the wire shelf as shown in the diagram.
Reverse the sequence of operations
when you re-fit the wire shelf back in to
its position. Make sure you fit it properly
otherwise operation of drawers will be
