COLDEST ZONE IN THE FRIDGE
To help you to set the temperature correctly, the fridge has a temperature indicator. This
displays the average temperature in the coldest zone. The internal temperature is dependent
on several factors such as the ambient temperature, the amount of food stored in the fridge
and how often the door is opened and closed.
· If the indicator display reads ‘OK’, this means that the temperature is set correctly and the
internal temperature is correct.
· If the indicator has a white/yellow line, this means that the temperature is too high. Turn
the temperature down and wait 12 hours before checking whether the indicator reads ‘OK’.
USE
STORING FOOD IN THE FRIDGE
The fridge helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods. Fresh food care for
best results:
· Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality.
· Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from
dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing taste and will help maintain freshness. It will
also prevent odour transfer.
· Make sure that strong smelling foods are wrapped or covered and stored away from foods
such as butter, milk and cream which can be tainted by strong odours.
· Cool hot foods down before placing them in the fridge.
FREEZING AND STORING FOOD IN THE FREEZER
Use the freezer
· To store deep-frozen food.
· To make ice cubes.
· To freeze food.
· Note: Ensure that the freezer door has been closed properly.
· Store at -18°C or colder. Avoid opening the freezer drawers unnecessarily.
Purchasing frozen food
· Packaging must not be damaged.
· Use by the ‘use by /best before/best by/’ date.
· If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer.
Freezing fresh food
Freeze fresh and undamaged food only. To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour
and colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing. Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and
asparagus do not require blanching.
