Freezing fresh food

freezing alone does not improve the food�
• Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into the freezer�
• Prior to freezing the food, food should always be covered tightly with foil, plastic film, placed
in plastic bags or stored in airtight containers� This will prevent food from dehydrating and to
prevent any strong odors of some foods transferring to milder ones�
• To freeze raw meat, wrap in plastic bags or in airtight containers and place on the lowest shelf to
avoid cross contamination�
• Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked foods� For safety, only store raw meat
for two or three days� Fruit and vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
crisper�
• Milk and other liquids should be sealed with lids and placed in the bottle shelf in the door�
NOTE:
The ambient temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened affect
the temperature in the refrigerator� If required, change the thermostat temperature settings�
• If there is a power failure, do not open the door� Frozen food should not be affected if the failure
lasts for less than 12 hours� If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either
eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen�

upper right-hand corner� Turn the knob from the STOP (OFF) position towards MIN (less cold) to
MAX postion (colder)�

conditions�

but power supply is not interrupted�

If the appliance is switched off you must wait at least 5 minutes before restarting the
appliance or re-inserting the plug into the wall outlet� This is to allow the protection device in the
compressor to reset�
• If the compressor fails to start correctly remove the plug and wait for 5 minutes before you try
again then the compressor should restart normally�

– The room temperature
– How often the door is opened
– How much food is stored
– Position of the appliance
