Storing Food in a Freezer
●
Freeze and store either fresh food or long term commercially frozen foods.
●
Generally speaking long term storage means up to 3 months but this can
vary, so always follow your supplier’s recommendations otherwise refer to
the pictorial guide on the door liner (see below).
●
Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after
buying it.
●
Liquid-filled bottles or sealed fizzy drinks must not be stored in freezer, as
they may burst.
●
Lollipops and water ices should not be given to children directly from the
freezer the low temperature may cause ‘freezer burns’.
●
Store ice cream towards the top front of the freezer and remove from freezer
15-30 minutes before serving.
●
Ensure food is labelled and dated before placing in freezer.
●
Do not allow fresh food to come into contact with food already frozen, the
frozen food could start to defrost.
●
Once thawed, food should be cooked and eaten within 24 hours or cooked
and refrozen.
●
Fully defrost your freezer when the ice is between 3-5mm thick (
1
/
4
inch) (see
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section).
Note : A thick layer of ice will increase the running costs of your freezer.
