Use of the frozen food storage compartment
The freezer temperature is set at -18
°C
, and it is advisable to store food
requiring long-term preservation in the freezer compartment, although the
storage duration indicated on the food packaging should be adhered to.
The freezer drawers are used to store food that needs to be frozen. Fish and
meat in large blocks should be cut into small pieces and packed into freezer
bags before being evenly distributed inside the freezer drawers.
• Allow hot food to cool down to room temperature before putting it in the
freezer compartment.
• Do not put sealed glass containers or cans full of liquid in the freezer
compartment, so as to avoid bursting or distortion due to expansion after
the liquid freezes.
• Divide food into appropriately small portions.
• It is best to wrap food up before freezing it, and the materials used
for wrapping should be dry, to prevent the freezer bags from freezing
together. Foods should be packed in or covered with suitable materials
that are firm, tasteless, impervious to air and water, non-toxic and
pollution-free, to avoid cross-contamination and the transfer of odours.
