Making the best use of your Freezer

Note : Always use the handle provided to open the freezer door.
To ensure that your freezer operates as efficiently as possible :

Follow food packaging “best before/use by” instructions or your suppliers 
advice on a suitable maximum storage time.

Keep foods tightly covered to retain moisture and prevent flavour/odour 
transference. Plastic bags, aluminium foil, plastic stretch wrap and containers
with lids are ideal.

Select chilled and frozen food last when shopping, transport in a ‘cool bag’
and place in freezer as soon as possible after arriving home.

Avoid opening the door unnecessarily or for longer than needed.

Allow hot or warm food to cool down in covered containers before placing in
freezer, as placing hot food inside reduces efficiency.

Prepare fresh foods for freezing in small quantities to ensure that the food 
freezes quickly and so that its quality does not deteriorate.

Ensure that packets/containers of food are dry before freezing otherwise 
they may freeze together.

Note:
The Rating Plate, which lists the appliance Model Number and Serial
Number can be found near the bottom of the left hand internal wall.
