o Do not open the freezer door too often or leave the door open
for long periods of time, as this will increase the temperature
inside of the appliance and will increase the energy usage.
Freezing fresh food
o To freeze the maximum quantity of fresh food
specified above, you should turn the
thermostat knob to position <4>, 24 hours
prior to attempting freezing.
o For smaller quantities of fresh food, you
should turn the thermostat knob to position
<4>, approximately 6 hours prior to
attempting freezing.
o Alternatively you can use the fast freeze option (see the
“Freezing with fast freeze” section of this booklet).
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 Do not allow fresh food to touch items
that are already frozen.
o After 24 hours you should check that
the fresh food is satisfactorily frozen.
If it is then the thermostat should be
turned down to its normal setting
(between <3> and <4>).
Tips on freezing
o Freezer bags, polythene wraps, aluminium foil (extra thick) and
special cans for frozen foods are suitable packaging for storing
frozen goods in.
o Tape, rubber bands or plastic clips are
suitable for sealing bags and wrappings.
o Before sealing a suitable bag, you should
compress the air out of it, as this will help
the food to freeze more easily.
