Freezing Fresh Food
Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most hygienic conditions as freezing alone does
not sterilize the food. It is advisable to freeze the food by packing it into separate meal portions and not in bulk
form. Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into the freezer. Prior to storing the frozen food, pack it in plastic
bags, aluminum sheets or freezing containers and place into the freezer. See the data sheet at the rear of this
booklet for the maximum permissible amount in kilograms of fresh food that can be frozen in any 24 hour
period with a room temperature of 25
℃
. Never freeze m ore than
the maximum permissible.
Note:
Never put bottled food or drinks in the freezer compartment.
.For best performance, leave enough space in the fridge compartment for air to circulate around the packages.
Defrosting
Remove the mains plug from the wall socket, open the door and remove all the food to a cool place. Defrost using a
plastic scraper, or let the temperature rise naturally until the frost melts. Then wipe away the remaining ice and water,
after this plug the freezer back into the mains supply.
Note
: To avoid damaging the freezing compartment wall, do not use any sharp objects to remove the frost or
separate the frozen food.
