FREEZING FRESH FOOD
Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the
most hygienic conditions as freezing alone does not improve the
food.
Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into the freezer.
Prior to freezing the food, food should always be covered tightly
with foil, plastic film, placed in plastic bags or stored in airtight
containers. This will prevent food from dehydrating and to
prevent any strong odors of some foods transferring to milder
ones.
To freeze raw meat, wrap in plastic bags or in airtight containers
and place on the lowest shelf to avoid cross contamination.
Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked foods.
For safety, only store raw meat for two or three days. Fruit and
vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
crisper.
Milk and other liquids should be sealed with lids and placed in
the bottle shelf in the door.
NOTE: The ambient temperature of the freshly stored food
and how often the door is opened affect the temperature in the
refrigerator. If required, change the thermostat temperature
settings.
STORING FROZEN FOOD
All frozen food you purchase should be placed in the freezer as
soon as possible to avoid them from defrosting and spoiling.
All storage recommendations printed on the packaging of frozen
food by the manufacturer should always be followed.
When using the freezer for the first time or a ter defrosting,
set the thermostat knob to the maximum position for at least 2
hours befre introducing food to be stored, and then readjust it to
the normal position.
