Preparations for freezing     

1.  Leave cooked food to cool completely. 
2.  Chill food in the refrigerator compartment before freezing if possible.   
3.  Consider if you want to cook the food before freezing it. 
4. 

Don’t freeze food in metal containers as you may want to microwave it straight from the freezer.   

5.  Use special freezer bags available from supermarkets, freezer film, plastic bags, plastic containers, 

or aluminum foil for acidic foods (such as citrus fruits). Do not use thin cling film or glass. Do not use 
used food containers (unless cleaned thoroughly first). 

6.  Exclude  as  much  air  from  the  container  as  possible.  You  can  buy  a  special  vacuum  pump  which 

sucks excess air out of the packaging. 

7.  Leave a small amount of air space when freezing liquids, to allow for expansion. 
8.  You  can  use  the  space  in  the  freezer  most  efficiently  if  you  freeze  liquids  (or 

solids with liquids, such as stew) in square blocks. Pour the liquid into a plastic 
bag which is inside a square sided container. Freeze it like this, then remove it 
from the container and seal the bag. 

 
 
 

Tips for shopping for frozen foods   

1.  When  buying  frozen  foods,  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 star rating. This is usually the period 
stated as “Best, Before”, found on the front of the packaging.   

2.  Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy your frozen foods. 
3.  Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition.   
4.  Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.   
5.  Try to keep frozen foods together while shopping and on the trip home as this will help to keep the 

food cooler.   

6. 

Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it immediately. Special insulated bags can be bought 
from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These keep frozen foods cold longer. 

7.  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.   

8.  Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. Freeze food in small quantities: it freezes faster, 

takes less time to thaw and enables you to eat it in the quantity you need.   

9.  First, estimate the amount of food you will be freezing. If you are freezing large amounts of fresh 

food, remember to turn the control dial to the low temperature range. This will lower the temperature 
in the freezer, freezing your food more quickly and helping to keep the goodness in. However you 
should do this sparingly to conserve energy. 

 

Defrosting 

This appliance is designed with automatic defrosting; no need to defrost by hand. 

Leveling the Fridge/Freezer 

Make sure the Fridge/Freezer is level. Use the rotating leveling feet at the front. If the Fridge/Freezer is 
not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments will be affected and may cause your Fridge/Freezer 
to work incorrectly. 
After  the  Fridge/Freezer  is  in  place,  it  can  be  used  after  4  hours.  This  allows  time  for  the  coolant  to 
settle. 

When installing 

Don’t cover or block the vents or grilles of your appliance. 

 

If you'll be away from home for a long time 

  If the appliance will not be used for several months, turn off the refrigerator first and then unplug the 

unit from the wall outlet.   

  Remove all the food.   

  Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: 

blocking it open if necessary, or have the door removed.
