Storing Frozen Food
Prepacked 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
remembered:
1.
Put packets in the freezer as
quickly
as possible after purchase.
2.
Ensure that contents are labelled
and
dated.
3.
Do not exceed “Use By”, “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
13
hrs. If the failure is longer, then the
food should be checked and either
eaten immediately or cooked and then
re-frozen.
Freezing Fresh Food
Please observe the following
instructions to obtain the best results.
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 to the core as quickly as
possible.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of
your appliance in 24 h
.
Placing warm food into the freezer
compartment causes the refrigeration
compressor to operate continuously
until the food is frozen solid. This can
temporarily lead to excessive cooling
of the refrigeration compartment.
You may place fresh food to be frozen
in any part of the freezer.
Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food.
Making Ice Cubes
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with
water and place it in the Ice Bank.
Loosen frozen trays with the handle of
a spoon, never use sharp edged
objects such as knives, forks. Store
ice-cubes in the Ice Bank.
Note: If freshly made ice cubes are
not consumed for several weeks and
stored in Ice Bank, they will slowly
reduce in size and eventually
disappear completely.
