How to Use the Refrigerator Compartment:
Cooked/fresh foods may be stored in your refrigerator. Hot foods must
first be allowed to reach room temperature before storage
Eggs and bottle’s should be stored on the shelves provided in the door
Meat and fish should be covered to prevent loss of moisture and odours
wrap such foods in aluminium foil or polythene or store in an airtight
container
It is advisable to store cooked food on top shelves and fresh food on the
lower shelves to prevent cross contamination
How to Use the Freezer Compartment:
Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with
the frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a frozen food storage
compartment
To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer
and the food retailer is maintained, the following should be observed:
-
Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
-
Ensure that contents are labelled and dated.
- Do not exceed "Use By" or "Best Before" dates on the packaging.
If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not
be affected if the failure lasts for less than 14 hrs. If the failure is longer,
then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked
and then refrozen.
Freezing Fresh Food:
Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The quality of the food
is best preserved when it is frozen right through as quickly as possible
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h which is 4 kg
(9 lb)
