ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER

FREEZING FRESH FOOD

o The maximum quantity of food you can freeze in

24 hours is 6.5 Kg.

o Place the fresh food in the freezer compartment,

arranging it so that the best amount of space is
utilised and air circulates around the food.

o It is best to freeze fresh food quickly so that ice

crystals cannot grow large and thus damage the
structure of food. If freezing takes place too
slowly, larger ice crystals will form and affect the
quality of the food once it has defrosted.

PACKETS TO BE FROZEN should be placed in the

drawer so that they contact the drawer’s surface
as much as possible. They should also be
spaced apart so that cold air can circulate around
them. They should not touch existing packets.

8

FROZEN FOOD STORAGE
Your freezer has the following net storage
capacity: 155 litres.

NOTE: This is a standard measurement. The actual

capacity depends on the density and size of the
food.
The above figures are based on an average of 0.32
kg per Litre.

IMPORTANT - Pre-packed commercially frozen
food should be stored in accordance with the
manufacturer’s storage instructions for a 4 star
frozen food compartment. It should be put in the
freezer as soon as possible after purchase.

Freezer Compartment

• Your freezer’s chief function is to allow you to store

deep-frozen or frozen foods for long periods of time,
You can also make ice cubes in it.

DO NOT put warm food into the freezer.

•

DO NOT put fresh or warmish food with frozen food

•

side-by-side as the former can thaw the latter and
cause spoilage.

While freezing fresh food (meat, fish, mincemeat,

•

etc.), divide into bagged parts so you can access them
separately.

The instructions shown on frozen food packages should

•

always be carefully followed. If no information is
provided, food should not be stored for more than 3
months from the purchase date.

When buying frozen food, ensure that these have been

•

frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packaging
is intact. Store your frozen goods in your freezer as
soon as possible after purchase.

If a package of frozen food shows signs of swelling or

•

wet marks, it is probable that the food had previously
been poorly stored and has now deteriorated. Discard
it.

• The Storage life of frozen food depends on the room

temperature, thermostat setting, how often the door is
opened, the type of food and how long it has taken to
get the food from the store to your freezer. Always
follow the printed packaging instructions and never
exceed the maximum storage life indicated.

• Use the fast freezing shelf (the middle drawer of the

freezer) to freeze home cooking

CLEANING / MAINTENANCE

LONG ABSENCES (vacations, etc.): In the case of long

absences, the appliance must be switched off, emptied out completely,
