About the Freezer Compartment
The freezer compartment consists of three drawers (fig.2-3).
As with the refrigerator, certain areas of the freezer are better
for storage of certain foods.
Ice creams and water ices are best stored towards the rear of
the appliance where it is coldest.
Large/heavier portions of food, such as meats joints for
roasting are best stored in the drawers at the bottom of the
appliance, while less weighty items should be stored on the
shelves: this is to prevent damage to the appliance.
You should always make sure that food stored is suitable
for freezing and that you have stored it securely inside the
appliance.
Defrosting food for cooking
Should food become partially thawed, or defrosted it should
be consumed as soon as possible as the quality will be
aff ected by defrosting.
n
n
always make sure that food is thoroughly defrosted
before cooking and no ice crystals remain. this
is especially important for poultry, as this can be
extremely harmful to health.
Always follow the defrosting instructions on packaging when
defrosting ready meals: manufacturers’ guidelines are always
best, as some frozen foods should be cooked from frozen.
