•
The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.
•
To use the maximum capacity of the freezer compartment, use the glass shelves for the
upper and middle section, and use the lower basket for the bottom section.
•
Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and any other food which needs to be
frozen quickly) more quickly because of the freezing shelf’s greater freezing power. Fast freezing
shelf is the bottom drawer of the freezer compartment.
•
For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly, that is the packaging should be
air tight and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil polythene bags and plastic
containers are ideal.

Do not store fresh food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.

Before freezing fresh food, divide it into portions that can be consumed in one sitting.

Never place warm food in the freezer compartment as it will thaw the frozen food.
