SHOPPING FOR FROZEN FOOD
• The appliance is rated as a 4 star freezer and can freeze fresh
food and store pre-frozen food. When you are buying frozen
food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will
be able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown
against the 4 star rating.
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.
