Arranging Food in your Fr
eezer
The chart below shows the range within which you will be able to
store food in your freezer.
• To reduce humidity and possible frost, NEVER place liquids in
unsealed containers in the freezer.
• Make sure that you arrange food in such a way that the door
can close completely.
• NOTE - Sometimes your freezer door may seem ‘stuck’ if
you try to open it again right after closing it. This normal
phenomenon is due to pressure shifts within the appliance and
should clear in a few minutes. Please give it this time before
re-opening.
• NEVER place warm food inside the freezer. Warm food must
be allowed to cool to room temperature
fi
rst.
• Unpleasant odours within may mean your freezer needs to be
cleaned or that food has spoiled and needs to be discarded.
• Pack food in freezer storage bags, noting the type of food,
quantity, date prepared and inserted into the freezer. Write this
information on the bags.
