o Warm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt
to freeze it. If you place warm food in the freezer compartment,
then the increased humidity will cause quicker ice formation and
increase the amount of power that the appliance uses.
o The guidance of the food manufacturer should be followed, in
regard to the maximum storage time.
o Thawed foods must not be frozen for a second time.
o If power is cut to the appliance, then the food inside of it will be
safe for a maximum of 12 hours. You should minimise the
number of times that you open the doors of the appliance during
this period of time.
Freezing fresh food
o To freeze the maximum quantity of fresh food
specified on the rating plate, you should turn the
thermostat dial to its maximum position (shown
opposite), a few hours prior to attempting
freezing.
o For smaller quantities of fresh food, you should turn the
thermostat dial to its maximum position, 1 hour prior to freezing.
o Fresh food should be packed into airtight
containers or packaging. This will help to make
sure that the food doesn’t dry out or lose its
flavour. It will also ensure that flavour does not
transfer from other foods.
o After 24 hours you should check that the fresh food
is satisfactorily frozen. If it is then the thermostat
dial should be turned back to its normal operating
position.
