not affect the performance of your Freezer.

Is the Freezer cold enough?

where it can be easily read. Leave overnight, the correct temperature should be between -18°C
or lower. See ‘Adjusting the Temperature’.
Shopping for frozen foods
Your Freezer is 4 star

be able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the 4 star rating. This is
usually the period stated as ‘Best Before’, on the front of the packaging. The maximum freezing
capacity of the appliance are 9.5kg (MCF98WAE), 13kg (M145CF12E) in 24 hours.
Please do not place fresh food into the freezer compartment exceeding this weight.
Check the freezer temperature
Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy your frozen foods.
It should show a temperature lower than -18°C.
Choose packs carefully
Take a quick look at the frozen food package and make sure it is in perfect condition.
Purchase frozen food last
Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket. Try to keep
frozen food together whilst shopping and on the journey home as this will help to keep the
food cooler.
Store food straight away
Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away.
Special insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These keep
