The Freezer Compartment:
You should use the freezer compartments for storing food for long periods and making ice. Aim to freeze fresh food
as quickly as possible so that it keeps its taste and appearance. We recommend that you place food you would like
to freeze in the upper tray of the freezer compartment for 24 hours before placing it next to other frozen foods. It is
important that you do not exceed the maximum freezing capacity of your Fridge Freezer, this will help to ensure that
your food freezes as quickly as possible. The maximum freezing capacity for freezing within a 24 hour period is 18 kg.
The storage durations of frozen food can be changed by a variety of factors, such as; the frequency of the doors
opening and closing, thermostat settings, food types and the period of time that elapsed from when the food was
acquired to the time it entered the freezer. It is important that you follow the packaging on frozen foods and do not
exceed the storage duration. The table below contains some recommendations on freezing.
WARNING:
Do not re-freeze frozen food once it has thawed. It may be a danger to your health.
