Use
Freezer
• The freezer compartments are designed to store only frozen
food
• Never put hot foods in the freezer, allow food to cool fully before
storing them in the freezer
• Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage of
frozen food. If no information is provided, foods should not be
stored for more than three months after the purchase date
• Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away
before putting into the fridge
• Store food in small packages (ideally less than 2.5kg). This
reduces the freezing time and improves the quality of the food
after thawing
• Wrap food before putting into the freezer. To stop the wrapping
sticking together, ensure it is dry
• Label the food before freezing with information including type of
food and dates of storage and expiry
• Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen unless it has been
completely cooked. Only defrost as much food as is required, to
prevent wastage
• Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the freezer
compartments as they could explode
• Check the rating plate to confirm the maximum amount of fresh
food that can be frozen within a 24 hour period
• Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount
• To freeze fresh food more quickly, set the temperature control to
setting 5 a few hours prior to placing food in the freezer
