Shopping for frozen food
The appliance is rated as a 4 star freezer and can freeze fresh food and store pre-
frozen food. When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on
the packaging. You will be able to store each item of frozen food for the period
shown against the 4 star rating.
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 foodstus into the freezer. Prior to freezing the food,
food should always be covered tightly with foil, plastic lm, 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 aect 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 rst time or a ter defrosting, set the thermostat
knob to the maximum position for at least 2 hours before introducing food to be
stored, and then readjust it to the normal position.
