Shopping for frozen food
The appliance is rated as a 4 star freezer and can freeze fresh food and store pre‐frozen food. When you
are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will be able to store each
item of frozen food for the period shown against the 4 star rating.
Freezing fresh food
It is recommended to set the thermostat knob to the maximum position in order to freeze fresh food as
quickly as possible.
Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most hygienic conditions as freezing
alone does not improve the food.
Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into the freezer.
Prior to freezing the food, food should always be covered tightly with foil, plastic film, placed in plastic
bags or stored in airtight containers. This will prevent food from dehydrating and to prevent any strong
odours of some foods transferring to milder ones.
To freeze raw meat, wrap in plastic bags or in airtight containers and place on the lowest shelf to avoid
cross contamination.
Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked foods.
NOTE: The ambient temperature of the freshly stored food and how often the door is opened affect the
temperature in the refrigerator. If required, change the thermostat temperature settings.
Storing frozen food
All frozen food you purchase should be placed in the freezer as soon as possible to avoid them from
defrosting and spoiling.
All storage recommendations printed on the packaging of frozen food by the manufacturer should
always be followed.
