Storing Frozen Food

Prepacked commercially frozen food 
should be stored in accordance 
with the frozen food manufacturer’s 
instructions for a 

 frozen food 

storage compartment.
To ensure that the high quality 
achieved by the frozen food 
manufacturer and the food retailer is 
maintained, the following should be 
remembered:

1.

 Put packets in the freezer as quickly 

as possible after purchase.

2.

 Ensure that contents are labelled 

and dated.

3.

 Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best 

Before” dates on the packaging.

If there is a power failure do not open 
the door. Frozen food should not be 
affected if the failure lasts for less than 
13 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the 
food should be checked and either 
eaten immediately or cooked and then 
re-frozen.

Freezing Fresh Food

Please observe the following 
instructions to obtain the best results.
Do not freeze too large a quantity at 
any one time. The quality of the food 
is best preserved when it is frozen 
right through to the core as quickly as 
possible.
Placing warm food into the freezer 
compartment causes the refrigeration 
compressor to operate continuously 
until the food is frozen solid. This can 
temporarily lead to excessive cooling 
of the refrigeration compartment.
When freezing fresh food turn the 
setting towards Max. small quantities 
of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be 
frozen without having to rotate the 
temperature control.
You may place fresh food to be frozen 
in any part of the freezer.

Take special care not to mix already 
frozen food and fresh food.

Making Ice Cubes

Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with 
water. Loosen frozen trays with the 
handle of a spoon, never use sharp 
edged objects such as knives, forks.

Note:

 If freshly made ice cubes are 

not consumed for several weeks 
and stored in Ice Bank, they will 
slowly reduce in size and eventually 
disappear completely.
