o The food should be placed on the freezer
compartment’s base. 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.
o Flat packages freeze more easily.
o If you are freezing liquid, then do not fill the
container to the brim. Liquids will expand when
being frozen.
o Do not place bottles (glass or tin) containing
liquids (especially sparkling liquids) into the
freezer as they could cause the bottle to burst
during freezing.
Making ice cubes
o Fill the ice cube tray with water and place it in the freezer
compartment.
o After the water is completely frozen and turned to ice, you can
twist the ice cube tray (as shown in the drawing below) to
dispense the ice.
