DO'S AND DON'TS

Do-     Clean and defrost your appliance regularly (See "Defrosting")

Do-     Keep raw meat and poultry below cooked food and dairy products.

Do-     Take off any unusable leaves on vegetables and wipe off any soil.

Do-     Leave lettuce, cabbage, parsley and cauliflower on the stem.

Do-     Wrap cheese firstly in greaseproof paper and then in a polythene bag

          excluding as much air as possible. For best results take out of the fridge

          compartment an hour before eating.

Do-     Wrap raw meat and poultry loosely in polythene or aluminium foil. This

           prevents drying.

Do-     Wrap fish and offal in polythene bags.

Do-     Wrap food which have a strong odour or can dry out in polythene bags,

           aluminium foil or place in an airtight container.

Do-     Wrap bread well to keep it fresh.

Do-     Chill white wines, beer, lager and mineral water before serving.

Do-     Check contents of the freezer every so often.

Do-     Keep food for as short a time as possible and adhere to "Best Before",

          "Use by" etc. dates.

Do-     Store commercially frozen food in accordance with the instructions given

          on the packets that you buy.

Do-     Always choose high quality fresh food and be sure it is thoroughly clean

          before you freeze it.

Do-     Prepare fresh food for freezing in small portions to ensure rapid freezing.

Do-     Wrap all food in aluminium foil or freezer quality polythene bags and

          make sure any air is excluded.

Do-     Wrap frozen food when you buy it and put it in to the freezer as soon as

          possible.

Do-     Defrost food in the fridge compartment.

Do-     Remove ice cream from the freezer 10-20 minutes before serving.

Don't- Store bananas in your fridge compartment.

Don't- Store melon in your fridge. It can be chilled for short periods as long as it

          is wrapped to avoid it flavouring other food.

Don't- Cover the shelves with any protective materials which may obstruct air

          circulation through them.

Don't- Store poisonous or any dangerous substances in your appliance.

          It has been designed for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.

Don't- Consume food which has been stored for an excessive time in the fridge.

Don't- Store cooked and fresh food together in the same container. They should

          be packaged and stored seperately.

Don't- Let defrosting food or food juices drip onto food.

Don't- Leave the door open for long periods as this will make the appliance more

          costly to run and cause excessive ice formation.

Don't- Use pointed sharp edged objects such as knives, forks to remove the ice.

Don't- Put hot food into the appliance. Let it cool down first.

Don't- Put liquid-filled bottles or sealed cans containing carbonated liquids into

          the freezer as they may burst.

Don't- Exceed the maximum freezing loads (3.5 kg in any 24 hours) when

          freezing fresh food.

Don't- Give children ice-cream and water ices direct from the freezer. The low

          temperature may cause 'freezer burns' on lips.

Don't- Freeze fizzy drinks.

Don't- Try to keep frozen food which has thawed, it should be eaten within

          24 hours or cooked and refrozen.

Don't- Remove items from the freezer with wet hands.

Don’t- Leave frozen food at room temperature to thaw; the best way to defrost

food is to put it in the fridge to thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid defrosting

food or food juices drip onto other food.
