4 FOOD STORAGE
•
The freezer is used for storing frozen
food, freezing fresh food, and making ice
cubes.
•
For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal
fresh food properly, that is the packaging
should be air tight and shouldn’t leak.
Special freezer bags, aluminum foil
polythene bags and plastic containers
are ideal.
• Do not store fresh food next to frozen
food as it can thaw the frozen food.
•
Before freezing fresh food, divide it into
portions that can be consumed in one
sitting.
•
Consume thawed frozen food within a
short period of time after defrosting
•
Never place warm food in the freezer
compartment as it will thaw the frozen
food.
•
Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions on food packaging when
storing frozen food. If no information is
provided food, should not be stored for
more than 3 months from the date of
purchase.
•
When purchasing frozen food, make sure
that it has been stored under appropriate
conditions and that the packaging is not
damaged.
•
Frozen food should be transported in
appropriate containers and placed in the
freezer as soon as possible.
•
Do not purchase frozen food if the
packaging shows signs of humidity
and abnormal swelling. It is probable
that it has been stored at an unsuitable
temperature and that the contents have
deteriorated.
•
The storage life of frozen food depends
on the room temperature, the thermostat
setting, how often the door is opened,
the type of food, and the length of time
required to transport the product from
the shop to your home. Always follow the
instructions printed on the packaging and
never exceed the maximum storage life
indicated.
• The maximum amount of fresh food (in
kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is
indicated on the appliance label.
• To use the maximum capacity of the
freezer compartment, use the glass
shelves for the upper and middle section,
and use the lower basket for the bottom
section.
•
Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze
home cooking (and any other food
which needs to be frozen quickly) more
quickly because of the freezing shelf’s
greater freezing power. Fast freezing
shelf is the bottom drawer of the freezer
compartment.
If you would use maximum freezing
capacity of your freezer:
• While freezing fresh foods, the maximum
amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be
frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the
appliance label.
•
For optimum appliance performance
to reach maximum freezing capacity,
activate Super Freeze (SF) mode 24
hours before placing fresh food into the
freezer.
•
After placing fresh food into the freezer,
24 hours is generally sufficient for
freezing. ”Super Freeze” mode will be
deactivated automatically in 2-3 days to
save energy.
If you would freeze a small amount (up
to 3 kg) in your freezer:
•
Place your food without touching already
frozen food and activate “Fast Freezing”
mode. You can put your food next to
other frozen food after it is completely
frozen (after minimum 24 hours).
•
Do not re-freeze frozen food after it has
thawed. This may cause health issues,
such as food poisoning.
•
Allow hot food to completely cool down
before placing it in the freezer.
•
When buying frozen food ensure that
these have been frozen at suitable
temperatures and that the packing is
intact.
