The **** freezer section
The freezer section is suitable for storing and freezing food.
o
The freezer section temperature must have already reached -18
degrees centigrade (or lower) before you attempt to store food
that is already frozen or freezing fresh food.
o
The freezer section is only able to freeze a certain quantity of
food at one time. You should not attempt to freeze more than 3
kilograms of fresh food within a 24 hour period.
o
Any of the drawers can be used for freezing various foods.
o
Warm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt
to freeze it. If you place warm food in the freezer section, then
the increased humidity will cause quicker ice formation and
increase the amount of power that the appliance uses.
o
The guidance of the food manufacturer should be followed, in
regard to the maximum storage time.
o
Thawed foods must not be frozen for a second time.
o
If power is cut to your appliance, DO NOT open the door to the
freezer section. Your freezer will store food safely for
approximately 10 hours.
o
IMPORTANT: If the food has started to defrost before power is
restored, then DO NOT re-freeze the items. The food should be
used within a relatively short period of time.
Freezing fresh food
o
Fresh food should be packed into airtight containers
or packaging. This will help to make sure that the
food doesn’t dry out or lose its flavour. It will also
ensure that flavour does not transfer from other
foods.
o
Do not allow fresh food to touch items that
are already frozen.
o
Chill fresh food in the fridge before freezing if possible.
