The freezer compartment
The freezer compartment is suitable for storing and freezing food.
o
The freezer compartment temperature must have already
reached -18 degrees centigrade (or lower) before you attempt to
store food that is already frozen or freezing fresh food.
o
The freezer compartment is only able to freeze a certain quantity
of food at one time. The maximum amount of fresh food that can
be frozen within a 24 hour period is indicated on the rating plate
of your appliance. You should not attempt to freeze more than
this amount of fresh food within a 24 hour period.
o
Warm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt
to freeze it. If you place warm food in the freezer compartment,
then the increased humidity will cause quicker ice formation and
increase the amount of power that the appliance uses.
o
The guidance of the food manufacturer should be followed, in
regard to the maximum storage time.
o
Thawed foods must not be frozen for a second time.
