PACKAGING FOODS FOR FREEZING
 To minimize dehydration and quality deterioration, use aluminum foil, freezer
wrap, freezer bags or airtight containers.
 Force as much air out of the packages as possible and seal them tightly. Trapped
air can cause food to dry out, change color, and develop an off-flavour (freezer
burn).
 Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap prior to freezing.
 Do not refreeze meat that has thawed.
L
OADING THE FREEZER
 Avoid adding too much warm food into the freezer at one time. This overloads the
freezer, slows the rate of freezing, and can raise the temperature of frozen foods.
 Leave a space between the packages, so cold air can circulate freely, allowing food to
freeze as quickly as possible.
Care and Cleaning
Keep your refrigerator and freezer clean to prevent odour build-up. Wipe up any spills
immediately and clean both sections at least twice a year. Never use metallic scouring
pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not wash
any removable parts in a dishwasher.
 When moving the refrigerator, pull straight out (if required). You must
turn gas off at source or have adequate flex line to move refrigerator. Do
not shift the refrigerator from side to side as this may tear or gouge the
floor covering and damage the gas supply line.
 Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated
surfaces with wet or damp hands.
NOTES:
Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments, which can scratch the appliance
surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from tape or labels can be removed
with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or, touch the glue residue with the
sticky side of tape you have already removed. Do not remove the certification/serial
plate.
