Never forget:
x
When you freeze fresh foods with a ‘use by /best before/best by/’ date, you must freeze them before
the expiry of this date.
x
Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not
be refrozen.
x
Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice cube tray (not supplied) with ¾ full of drinking water and place in the freezer drawer.
If the ice cube tray is stuck to the freezer drawer, loosen with a blunt tool only.
To loosen the ice cubes, twist the ice cube tray slightly or hold briefly under flowing water.
STORING FOOD IN THE FRIDGE COMPARTMENT
The appliance helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods.
Fresh food care
For best results:
x
Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality.
x
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.
x
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.
x
Cool hot foods down before placing them in the fridge compartment.
Dairy foods and eggs
x
Most pre-packed dairy foods have a recommended ‘use by /best before/best
by/’ date stamped on them. Store them in the fridge compartment and use
within the recommended time.
x
Butter can become tainted by strong smelling foods so it is best stored in a
sealed container.
x
Eggs can be stored in the fridge compartment.
Red meat
x
Place fresh red meat on a plate and loosely cover with waxed paper, plastic
wrap or foil.
