Thawing frozen food

For some foods, thawing before cooking is 

unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be added 

directly to boiling water or steam cooked. Frozen 

sauces and soups can be put into a saucepan and 

heated gently until thawed.

Freezing fresh food

Ensure that your freezing operations are carried 

out under the most hygienic conditions as 

freezing alone does not improve the food. 

Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into the 

freezer.

Prior to freezing the food, food should always 

be covered tightly with foil, plastic film, placed 

in plastic bags or stored in airtight containers. 

This will prevent food from dehydrating and 

to prevent any strong odors of some foods 

transferring to milder ones.

To freeze raw meat, wrap in plastic bags or in 

airtight containers and place on the lowest shelf 

to avoid cross contamination.

Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with 

cooked foods. For safety, only store raw meat for 

two or three days. Fruit and vegetables should be 

thoroughly cleaned and placed in the crisper.

Milk and other liquids should be sealed with lids 

and placed in the bottle shelf in the door.

NOTE:

 The ambient temperature of the freshly 

stored food and how often the door is opened 

affect the temperature in the refrigerator. If 

required, change the thermostat temperature 

settings.

Storing frozen food

All frozen food you purchase should be placed 

in the freezer as soon as possible to avoid them 

from defrosting and spoiling.

All storage recommendations printed on the 

packaging of frozen food by the manufacturer 

should always be followed.

When using the freezer for the first time or 

after defrosting, set the thermostat knob to the 

maximum position for at least 2 hours before 

introducing food to be stored, and then readjust 

it to the normal position.

The technical data mentioned in the 

‘Specifications’ are obtained in the case that the 

freezing drawers are removed.
