The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and for storing
frozen food.
x
The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is 3kg.
x
Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer compartment as the
pressure in the container may cause it to explode.
x
Ice lollies can cause frost burns if consumed straight from the freezer.
x
Store pre-frozen food as soon as possible after purchasing.
x
Ensure that the freezer door is always securely closed and only opened for
as short a time as possible.
x
It is recommended that dates are put on the food packages so that the
storage time can be monitored.
x
Ice cubes can be made in the ice tray provided.
x
Ensure that pre-frozen food is still frozen when it is stored in the freezer.
x
Cooked food should be allowed to cool to room temperature before placing
in the freezer.
