Pre Packed Foods
Pre packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions for a 4 star frozen food compartment and should be put in the freezer as soon as possible
after purchase. Your freezer provides for long term storage which generally means up to 3 months but
the length of time can vary and it is important to follow the recommended times shown on the packets
of commercially frozen food.

Defrosting
After a period of time, frost will build up in the freezer. Regular defrosting will therefore be necessary
to maintain the efficiency of the freezer. Defrosting should be carried out if the frost build up begins to
interfere with the food storage. The best time to defrost your freezer is when the amount stored in the
freezer is low, for example before you go shopping. To defrost the freezer follow the steps below:
1. Take out the frozen food, turn the freezer off at the mains supply and leave the door open. Ideally the
frozen food should be put into another freezer or refrigerator. To speed up the defrosting process, a
bowl of hot water can be placed inside the freezer to raise the temperature.
2. Remove the ice with an ice scrapper. Do not use pointed or sharp edged objects such as knives, forks
or screw drivers to remove the ice.
3. When all traces of ice have been removed and defrosting is completed, clean away any water and
wipe your freezer dry.
4. Clean your freezer as described below, plug in and switch the freezer back on. Allow enough time for
the temperature to fall to the correct level before putting the food back in to the freezer.
