Freezing fresh food (BRB2616)
o
To freeze the maximum quantity of fresh food
specified on the rating plate, you should turn the
thermostat dial to position <7>, a few hours prior
to attempting freezing.
o
For smaller quantities of fresh food, you should turn
the thermostat dial to position <7>, 1 hour prior to
freezing.
o
Fresh food should be packed into airtight
containers or packaging. This will help to make
sure that the food doesn’t dry out or lose its
flavour. It will also ensure that flavour does not
transfer from other foods.
o
After 24 hours you should check that the fresh food
is satisfactorily frozen. If it is then the thermostat
dial should be turned back to it’s normal operating
position
o
IMPORTANT: If you run the appliance with the thermostat dial
on a higher setting (over <5>) for prolonged periods, the defrost
drain hole will freeze. It may also cause the appliance to
overwork and the fridge and freezer sections to freeze over.
Tips on freezing
o
Freezer bags, polythene wraps, aluminium foil (extra thick) and
special cans for frozen foods are suitable packaging for storing
frozen goods in.
o
Tape, rubber bands or plastic clips are
suitable for sealing bags and wrappings.
o
Before sealing a suitable bag, you should
compress the air out of it, as this will help
the food to freeze more easily.
o
Flat packages freeze more easily.
