REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER
• Use special Freezer bags available from supermarkets, Freezer film, polythene bags,
plastic containers, aluminum foil for acidic foods(such as citrus fruits).
• Do not use thin cling film or glass. Do not use used food containers (unless cleaned
thoroughly first).
• Exclude as much air from the container as possible. You could buy a special vacuum
pump which sucks excessive air out of the packaging.
• Leave a small amount of “air space” when freezing liquids, to allow for expansion.
• You can use the space in the Freezer most efficiently if you freeze liquids(or solids
with liquids, such as stew) in square blocks. This is known as “performing” Pour the
liquid into a polythene bag which is inside a square sided container. Freeze it like this,
then remove it from the container and seal the bag.
Defrosting
After a period of time frost will build up in certain areas in the Fridge/Freezer
compartment. After a period of time frost will build up in certain areas in the Fridge/
Freezer compartment. As a temporary measure, this frost should be scraped away using
a plastic scraper.
NEVER
use a metal or sharp instrument!
• Complete defrosting will however become necessary approximately once per year, or
if the frost layer exceeds 5mm to maintain the efficiency of the Fridge/Freezer. This
should be carried out if the frost build-up cannot be scraped away, or if it begins to
interfere with the food storage. Chose a time when the stock of frozen food is low and
proceed as follow:
• Take out the frozen food, turn the Fridge/Freezer off at the mains supply and leave
the doors open. Ideally the frozen food should be put into another Fridge/Freezer or
refrigerator. If this is not possible wrap the food, firstly in several sheets of newspaper
or large towels and then in a thick rug or blanket and keep it in a cool place.
• Scrape away as much frost build-up as possible using the plastic scraper. To
accelerate the thawing process place bowls of hot water inside the Fridge/Freezer
cabinet. As the solid frost loosens, prize it away with the plastic scraper and remove.
• When defrosting is completed, clean your Fridge/Freezer.
