GUIDE TO STORAGE AND THAWING OF FOOD

The freezer compartment, marked with the symbol m=_-_ is used for storing frozen food and freezing fresh or cooked food.

The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in a 24 hour period, at an ambient temperature of 25°C, is stated on the rating plate, inside the refrigerator compartment.

For more efficient freezing, activate fast cooling & fast freezing function.

PREPARING FRESH FOOD FOR FREEZING

It is important to wrap food so that no water, moisture, or vapour may penetrate; this avoids the transfer of odours and flavours throughout the refrigerator and allows better storage of frozen food. Use plastic containers with tight fitting lids, aluminium trays, aluminium foil, cling film and waterproof plastic

wrappings.

SEALING

When sealingthe food in bags,squeeze out the air (liquids need head spaceto allow for expansion). Seal the top of the bagwith a fastener. Place labels on the inside of clear freezer bags:use self-adhesive labels on the outside of opaque ones.........

DEFROSTING

Here are some helpful tips.

Raw vegetables: do not thaw, put straight into boiling water and cook as usual.

Meat (large cuts): thaw in the refrigerator compartment without unwrapping. Before cooking, leave at room temperature for a couple of hours.

Meat (small cuts): thaw at room temperature or cook from frozen.

Fish:thaw in the refrigerator compartment without unwrapping or cook before fully thawed.

Inthe event of a power failure, the freezer compartment maintains the appropriate storage temperature for approximately 12hours: during this time, we suggest you leave the door of the compartment closed. Do not refreeze partially thawed food.

Previously cooked food: reheat in the oven without removing it from its aluminium container.

Fruit: thaw in the refrigerator compartment

NOTE: never place warm food in the freezer.

Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature for 30 minutes, then wrap and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy and prolongs the life of the appliance.
