•
The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.
•
For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly, that is the packaging should be air tight and
shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum
foil polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.
•
Do not store fresh food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
•
Before freezing fresh food, divide it into portions that can be consumed in one sitting.
•
Consume thawed frozen food within a short period of time after defrosting
•
Never place warm food in the freezer compartment as it will thaw the frozen food.
•
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on food packaging when storing frozen food. If no
information is provided food, should not be stored for more than 3 months from the date of purchase.
•
When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it has been stored under appropriate conditions and that the
packaging is not damaged.
•
Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and placed in the freezer as soon as possible.
•
Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling. It is probable
that it has been stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.
•
The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat setting, how often the
door is opened, the type of food, and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to
your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage
life indicated.
•
The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance
label.
•
To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface of the food as possible is in contact with the cooling
surface.
Note:
If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you will find that it will not open
easily. This is normal. Once equilibrium has been reached, the door will open easily.
Important note:
•
Never refreeze thawed frozen food.
•
The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger,
garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a strong taste when
they are stored for a long period of time. Therefore, add small amounts of spices to food to be frozen, or the
desired spice should be added after the food has thawed.
