Hints for fresh food refrigeration
•Do not place hot food directly into the
freezer, the internal temperature will
increase
resulting in the
compressor
having to work harder and will consume
more energy.
•Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if
it has a strong flavor.
•Place food properly so that air can
circulate freely around it.
Hints for freezing
•When first starting-up or aer a period
out of use, let the appliance run at least 2
hours on the higher settings bere putting
food in the compartment.
•Prepare food in small portions to enable
it to be rapidly and completely frozen and
to make it possible to subsequently thaw
only the quantity required.
•Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or cling
wraps which are airtight.
•Do not allow fresh
,
unfrozen food to
touch the food which is already frozen to
avoid temperature rise of the latter.
•Iced products, (ice cubes, popsicles): if
consumed immediately aer removal from
the freezer compartment, will probably
cause frost burns to the skin.
•It is recommended to label and date each
frozen package in order to keep track of
the storage time.
Hints for the storage of frozen food
•Ensure that frozen food has been stored
correctly by the food retailer
•Once defrosted, food will deteriorate
rapidly and should not be re-frozen. Do not
exceed the storage period indicated by the
food manufacturer.
