about the Freezer compartment
The freezer compartment consists of four drawers
As with the refrigerator, certain areas of the freezer are better for storage of certain foods.
Ice creams and water ices are best stored towards the rear of the appliance where it is coldest.
Large/heavier portions of food, such as meats joints for roasting are best stored in the drawers at the bottom of the appliance, while less weighty items should be stored on the shelves: this is to prevent damage to the appliance.
You should always make sure that food stored is suitable for freezing and that you have stored it securely inside the appliance.
Defrosting food for cooking
Should food become partially thawed, or defrosted it should be consumed as soon as possible as the quality will be affected by defrosting.
Always make sure that food is thoroughly defrosted
nn
before cooking and no ice crystals remain. This is especially important for poultry, as this can be extremely harmful to health.
Always follow the defrosting instructions on packaging when defrosting ready meals: manufacturers’ guidelines are always best, as some frozen foods should be cooked from frozen.
