Storing food in a freezer

Storing food

Making the best use of your Appliance

To ensure that your appliance operates as efficiently as possible:

*Follow packaging “best by/use by” instructions or your suppliers advice on a suitable maximum storage time.

*Keep foods covered to retain moisture and prevent flavour/odour transference. Plastic bags, aluminium foil, plastic stretch wrap and containers with lids are ideal.

*Select chilled and frozen food last when shopping, transport in a ‘coolbag’ and place in appliance as soon as possible after arriving home.

*Avoid opening the doors unnecessarily or for longer than needed.

*Allow hot or warm food to cool down in covered containers before placing in appliance, as placing hot food in the appliance reduces efficiency.

*Prepare fresh foods for freezing in small quantities to ensure that the food freezes quickly, therefore retaining its quality.

*Ensure all packets / containers of food are dry before freezing, otherwise they may freeze together.

Warning: Do not use to store poisonous, flammable or dangerous substances, your appliance has been designed for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.

*Freeze and store either fresh food or long term commercially frozen foods.

*Generally speaking long term storage means up to 3 months but this can vary, so always follow your supplier’s recommendations.

*Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after buying it.

*When storing frozen food such as ice cream for a long period, store it on the shelves, not in the commodity rack

*Liquid-filled bottles or sealed fizzy drinks must not be stored in freezer, as they may burst.

*Lollipops and water ices should not be given to children directly from the freezer. The low temperature may cause ‘freezer burns’.

*Store ice cream towards the top front of the freezer and remove from freezer 15-30 minutes before serving.

*Ensure food is labelled and dated before placing in freezer.

*Once thawed, food should be cooked and eaten within 24 hours or cooked and refrozen.

Storing Food in a Fridge

*Pack and store cooked and fresh food separately.

*Wrap raw or defrosting meat and poultry in polythene or foil and store below cooked foods and dairy products to avoid contamination of dripping food juices.

*Wrap cheese in greaseproof paper and place in an airtight polythene bag. Bring to room temperature before consuming.

*Empty left over canned food into a covered storage containers before placing in fridge.

*Position food to allow cold air to circulate freely, ensuring nothing comes into contact with the cooling plate at the back of the appliance.

*Avoid placing moist food on the top refrigerator shelves, it could freeze from direct contact with chilled air.
